Just in time to welcome the New Year, ArtServe’s first exhibit of 2024 will explore the dichotomies of life amid technology and progress in “New & Improved,” which opens with a free, public reception on Friday, January 26, 2024 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Both adults and kids are welcome at the reception, which will feature interactive stations filled with toys and gadgets from the 1970s, 80s and 90s, along with a live D.J. playing music from those eras.

The exhibit itself is also free to attend and runs through Friday, March 22, 2024.
ArtServe is located at 1350 E. Sunrise Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale and open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
“This exhibit confronts the question of whether new things are necessarily better,” ArtServe CEO Jason Hughes said. “To do that, we’re welcoming all art genres, exploring new and traditional mediums, and exploring our romanticization with the past.”
“New & Improved” is inviting artists to display their perspective on how nostalgia intersects with the realities of our expectations for the future.
ArtServe inspires, supports and advances its diverse members, artists and community by promoting artistic development, education and prosperity through the exploration and presentation of the visual and performing arts.
