Still getting off the ground and make something of itself, near downtown Fort Lauderdale, efforts continue to create an art identity.
“Drive through the roads of FAT Village and you may take in a condo building, maybe even a storefront. Now stroll through them and you’ll see that those industrial warehouses that were once considered a part of the undeveloped area south of Sistrunk/Sunrise are now pieces of a budding arts/science district. Name spelled out: Flagler Arts and Technology Village has this terrain: the streets west of Andrews Avenue, up until two blocks west of the FEC railroad tracks, with the north and south borders being NW Sixth Avenue and NW Fourth Avenue, respectively. That space is now occupied with artists studios, theaters, a puppet workshop (among other workshops), businesses, and one gallery space. And on every last Saturday of the month, FAT Village hosts a free Art Walk from 7 to 10 p.m. where art junkies can stroll through all these places and check out the art as well as see a play and take in a puppet show on the side of the street. For Art Walk info, call Alex Benitez at 954-305-6608.”
