Where Public Art Lives: Broward County Libraries 📚✨

For nearly 50 years, Broward County has invested in public art as part of its civic infrastructure, bringing creativity into the places people visit every day, including our libraries.

Looking to explore public art through Broward County Libraries? Here are a few works to discover:

📍 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘙𝘩𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘮 by Yaacov Agam
Broward County Main Library

📍 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘸 𝘉𝘰𝘹𝘪𝘯𝘨 by Christopher Janney
Southwest Regional Library

📍 𝘞𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘛𝘦𝘭𝘭 by Claudia Fitch
African American Research Library & Cultural Center

📍 𝘞𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴 by Steve Gillman and Katherine Keefer
West Regional Library, Plantation

These are just a few examples of how public art is woven into everyday spaces across Broward County.

This fall, a new publication celebrating 50 years of public art in Broward County will highlight works like these across County agencies and the communities they serve.

Presented by Broward County's Public Art & Design Program, more from the 50th anniversary series coming soon.

Broward County Public Art & Design is supported by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners.

50 years in and you might start seeing this around!

Our 50th logo is making its way through the community, showing up in all kinds of places and moments. Spotted here with County Administrator Monica Cepero and our Director Phil Dunlap!

It’s a small mark with a big story behind it. 50 years of creativity, culture, and the people who built it.

Keep an eye out—you never know where it’ll show up next. Or… claim one for your own space 👀

Broward Cultural Division’s Public Art and Design team celebrated the official unveiling of Flora and Fauna, a stunning new permanent public artwork at the expanded Broward County Convention Center.

Created by internationally recognized artist Martin Donlin, with an original inlaid poem by Broward-based Allied Artist Darius V. Daughtry, this monumental terrazzo installation draws inspiration from South Florida’s natural landscape—capturing the movement of water, marine life, and the spirit of our natural environment.

This project represents the power of public art to transform spaces into meaningful, immersive experiences—welcoming millions of visitors with a sense of place, creativity, and connection.

A special thank you to the Broward County Board of County Commissioners, County Administration, Visit Lauderdale, and the many departments, partners, and project team members who brought this vision to life. We are especially grateful to the Public Works & Environmental Services team, the Convention Center team, and Creative Terrazzo Systems for their craftsmanship and collaboration.

As we celebrate 50 years of arts and culture in Broward County, this installation stands as a lasting reflection of our community, environment, and shared story.

Thinking about ? Let’s take it outside 🌎🌿

Some of the best art in Broward doesn’t just sit in nature, it’s part of it. Inspired by the Everglades and local waterways, these Public Art & Design installations bring that connection to life:

𝘐𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘎𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘯 by Lorna Jordan at Long Key Natural Area is one you walk through, where winding paths, water, and native elements slowly bring the Everglades back into focus

𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘭𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘚𝘸𝘪𝘳𝘭𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢 𝘝𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘹 𝘰𝘯 𝘞𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 by Alice Aycock at Central Broward Regional Park captures the movement of wind and water, turning those natural forces into something you can see and feel

𝘛𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘢 𝘍𝘶𝘨𝘪𝘵 by Mags Harries and Lajos Héder at Miramar Regional Park blends marshland and design into a space that makes you slow down and take it all in

Broward County Parks are a pretty great place to spend Earth Day, if you ask us. Which artwork is your fave: 1, 2, or 3? 👀

Bravo to our friends at Hollywood Art and Culture Center on their new website!
