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.

Current Exhibition
Kaleidoscope: My Culture, My Pride Dionne H.E. Polite
Polite is a self-taught artist who hails from Guyana. As a young child, she danced, painted, and indulged in many things that fed her creativity. In the early 1970s, Polite and her family immigrated to the United States, settling in New York. After the move, she stopped engaging in many creative pursuits she once loved to concentrate on the responsibilities of being the oldest child. She returned to painting again only a few years ago as an adult. At first, it was a way to connect with her aging parents and, later, to help her grieve through their deaths, which happened within the same year. Her artwork reflects her culture, history, childhood experiences in Guyana, and daily life here in South Florida. With paint, she tells her story her way.
Upcoming Exhibition
Vladimir Zimakov: Random Things Just Happen
Several years ago, Artist Vladimir Zimakov started working on illustrating the nonsensical poem by Lewis Carroll called Haddocks’ Eyes. The project resulted in a limited-edition book, using a combination of relief printmaking techniques, which he published under his own imprint Wild Pangolin Press. The approach that he took in creating this book was very similar to staging a theater play. Each character had to be effectively presented and each scene from the poem had to be well orchestrated on a page; for a project of this scope, everything needs to be carefully planned out and executed. There is little room for error or chance.
The Fine Arts Exhibition Space
A full spectrum of work can be seen in the exhibition space within North Campus' Fine Arts Department. Our hallways are a unique venue in which contemporary and traditional approaches to sculpture, painting, drawing, and photography by students and acclaimed faculty and staff can be viewed.
Both floors offer rotating exhibition cases containing a selection of the most innovative ceramics and sculptures being produced in the department and gallery walls representing two-dimensional works of all artistic disciplines. Visitors can expect a year-round cross-section of the talent fostered in our multidisciplinary department's studios.
