The Broward County Cultural Division is located on the sixth floor of the Broward County Main Library in Ft. Lauderdale. This department has 18 staff members and an annual operating budget of 9 million dollars along with a budget of 5 to 7 million dollars to create public art. The purpose of the county's cultural arts division is to enrich the cultural arts of the community by developing art with grants, providing public art, education, and offering seminars and workshops. A full list of events can be found on their website. In July of this year Phillip Dunlap from Missouri was named the new director of the Cultural Division. He is looking forward to expanding Broward County's support of cultural diversity and the arts. I recently learned more about the Cultural Division when I entered a contest sponsored by them called Searching for Giants. The Cultural Division has partnered with the Broward County Board of Commissioners, Greater Ft. Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau, and Entercom for the event. Giant inflatable art works are placed in various locations around Broward County. You can take a picture of them and post it to Instagram for a chance to win a pair of tickets to the Riptide Music Festival in November. There is still a couple of weekends left to participate.I didn't know very much about the Cultural Division prior to winning the contest. Now that I know more I really wanted to give them a shout out for the great work they are doing on behalf of the arts in Broward County.
