"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."

Sponsored by Broward County Cultural Division, Florida Arts & Culture and Outclique Magazine, "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.

"As co-founder of Lauderdale Art Week, I am thrilled to witness the transformative power of art unfold across Broward County. Our vision is to create a space where creativity knows no bounds, where artists and enthusiasts alike can explore, connect, and celebrate the rich tapestry of artistic expression. This year's lineup promises to be a crescendo of inspiration, uniting communities and leaving an indelible mark on the cultural landscape of South Florida. Join us for an unforgettable journey through the heart of creativity at Lauderdale Art Week 2024." - Andrew Martineau, Co-founder of Lauderdale Art Week.
