Fort Lauderdale, FL, December 15, 2022 –(PR.com)– Fort Lauderdale Art & Design Week will be returning with its 5th Annual installment on January 21-29, 2023, with a focus on promoting the vast amount of cultural opportunities Broward County has to offer residents, collectors, dealers, art enthusiasts, and visitors. It has also become a platform for research and promotion of the arts, its relationship to the community, and discussions over contemporary art trends in the areas of the Arts, Architecture, Cinema, Dance, Music, and Theater.

The week, produced by UniteUs Group, will also help promote diversity, bring neighbors into dialogue, increase creativity, and offer opportunities to cultivate civic pride throughout the county and its burgeoning art scene. Since its inception, it has been a breeding ground for discovery, finding synergies, and exchanging ideas, with select aligned programming, including museum exhibitions, art activations, artist studio tours, gallery openings, Art & Dine Lauderdale, Virtual Programs, an artDISCOURSE Series, architectural walks, roundtables, professional encounters and more.

This year Fort Lauderdale Art & Design Week will be partnering with Artmatcher – a mobile app that creates art experiences by matching art lovers, galleries, artists, and more with a patent-pending machine learning model.
