Art Galleries
Broward College is proud to feature three different art exhibition venues at its Central, South, and North campus locations. As part of the Visual and Performing Arts department, each campus gallery hosts its own unique programming dedicated to showcasing the work of diverse contemporary professional artists, as well as serving as educational spaces for our students, faculty, staff, and community.
The Rosemary Duffy Larson Gallery
The Rosemary Duffy Larson Gallery is a museum-quality venue where artists from around the world come to exhibit thought-provoking contemporary artworks.

In 2012, Broward College opened the Rosemary Duffy Larson Gallery, located in the state-of-the-art Visual & Performing Arts Building.

Current Exhibition
Stephanie Mercedes: I bite the brass between my teeth
"I bite the brass between my teeth" explores the precarious emotions of being queer in a society riddled with violence. Through kinetic sculptures, intimate photographs of the artist and her partner, sound, and melted bullets, Mercedes explores queer love through brass, one of the most sonically potent metals on this earth.
Stephanie Mercedes is a queer Latinx interdisciplinary artist who works between kinetic sculpture, photography, sound and performance. She is interested in creating rituals of mourning and primarily melts down weapons to create works of art. Mercedes has exhibited and performed at the Bronx Museum, the Kennedy Center, the Smithsonian, the National Gallery of Art, the Museum of the Americas, and the Daura Museum. She has been funded by the Foundation for Contemporary Art, NALAC, Light Works, and Open Society Foundation. Mercedes recently produced their first opera "Never In Our Image" with CulturalDC.

Current Exhibition
Borders & Gutters: The Personal in Sequential Art
As a part of the gallery's Curator's Co-Lab program, exhibiting artist and lecturer Eduardo Rosas has organized this group art exhibition, which showcases nine emerging South Florida artists who specialize in narrative illustration. The artwork in Borders and Gutters deviates from the popular trope of superheroes and villains. Instead, it will feature pieces that draw from the underground world of Sequential Art, where the actions of each of the nine artists' distinctively rendered characters explore actual human truths and personal experiences.
