If you missed the opportunity to attend one of the Community Forum Meetings in October, you have another opportunity to express your vision for the future of the arts and cultural community.

2020 Community Forum Meetings will be held both on Wednesday, November 4, and Thursday November 5, 2009, in order to gather input from the general public.

The end result will be a needs assessment for the 2020 Community Cultural Plan which will be Broward Cultural Division’s blueprint for the next ten years. This, uniquely ‘Broward’ 10-year strategic plan, reflects diverse population trends and will include three component plans focused on the Creative Economy, Cultural Tourism, and Public Art and Design.

The arts consultants, David Plettner and Jerry Allen of The Cultural+Planning Group will be conducting these meetings

The November 4th meeting will take place from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. at the:
Larkins Community Center
520 NW 3 St., Pompano Beach, FL 33060
On November 5th, two meetings will take place, the first from Noon - 2 p.m at:
Plantation Historical Museum
511 North Fig Tree Lane
Plantation, FL 33317
and the second on November 5, from 6 – 8 p.m.:
Miramar Cultural Center • ArtsPark
2400 Civic Center Place
Miramar, FL 33025
In addition to these forums, there are focus group meetings, one-on-one meetings, online surveys and random sample telephone surveys.

Both The Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) and the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport have offered wonderful collaborative opportunities for the not-for-profit cultural organizations and artists to let our visitors know about the wealth of cultural offerings here in Broward County.
