Natural Forces art exhibit in Downtown Fort Lauderdale

Everyone is invited to the exhibition, Natural Forces: Broward County Public Art & Design, which will run from May 10 – June 30, 2010, at the Broward County Governmental Center, in downtown Fort Lauderdale. This traveling exhibition has visited the length and breadth of Broward County—at the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood in the Eastern corridor, the Coral Springs Museum of Art in the Western corridor and now towards the downtown core in May and June 2010.

Broward County Cultural Division has assembled this exhibition of recent Public Art & Design projects, using conceptual drawings, models and videos of the artworks commissioned and developed by a number of artists, working through the Broward County Public Art & Design Program.

Natural Forces is an extensive mixture of collaborative ideas with earth’s natural elements at its center. The result is a culmination of creative minds focused on the future and bringing awareness through art. The various artworks capture natural phenomenon such as the light on water at sunset in the dynamic of the constantly changing sky (Alison Sky’s Vanishing View); or words engraved into stone as a metaphor for the library which functions to help one ‘see’ in new ways (Steve Gillman & Katherine Keefer’s Written Words), to name of a few of the artistic elements and stories at work in this multi-dimensional exhibition. Many of the pieces were designed within the portfolio of a Park Bond Master Plan and Library Bond Master Plan. This exhibition is made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

The exhibition at the Governmental Center is a sampling of the full exhibition due to limitations on space.
