Art Festivals, Art Walks & Other Places To Enjoy Art — plenty are free

Mural by Hoxxoh included in Downtown Hollywood Mural Project/Photo Hollywood CRA

If you enjoy browsing work by artists and artisans, Broward offers an array of lively art festivals, art walk events and indoor art exhibits.

We think art festivals and other art events are perfect for dates, solo activities and family outings. If you’re on a budget, many of the events and venues we’re featuring  are free, or relatively inexpensive.
