History

Since its inception in 1993, ArtServe has been dedicated to serving the needs of artists and nonprofit cultural organizations in Broward County. Through a series of programs aimed at strengthening and assisting them in their efforts, ArtServe has contributed to making South Florida a vibrant community for arts and culture.

ArtServe has become a national model for other arts supporting organizations. Centrally located in Fort Lauderdale, ArtServe is a multi-purpose facility that offers a shared office environment and venue at affordable costs to the more than 350 nonprofit cultural organizations and 10,000 artists living and working in Broward County. ArtServe encourages the growth of cultural organizations with educational and marketing programs including the Art of Doing Business workshop series, and the Broward County Commission’s Cultural Division’s Cooperative Marketing Program.

Funding for ArtServe is received in part from the Broward County Commission’s Cultural Division.
