SUMMARY:Lakou La Croix
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition presenting a collection of artworks by Louiveste La Croix that explore childhood memory\, displacement\, and communal identity. This body of work reflects the artist’s early life in Saint Louis du Nord\, Haiti\, and the emotional transitions of moving between multiple households before immigrating to South Florida. \nThe concept of lakou\, a communal living structure rooted in Haitian culture\, serves as both a physical and symbolic framework throughout the exhibition. For the artist\, lakou represents a way of living shaped by shared responsibility\, adaptability\, and survival. Growing up\, this communal arrangement existed across many places\, as Louiveste lived with various relatives away from his parents due to the prolonged immigration process. Each home became a temporary doorway\, shaping his sense of belonging and identity. \nLakou La Croix is a constellation of memories that form a complex portrait of self. Through mixed media\, symbolism\, and layered narratives\, the exhibition examines how culture\, spirituality\, consciousness\, community\, and expression intersect to shape identity. Each artwork acts as a doorway\, inviting viewers to move through personal history\, collective memory\, and the evolving meaning of home. \nOpening Reception │ May 8\, 2026 │6 – 8PM │ Click here to register \nThis is a Weekly Recurring Event\nRuns from May 8\, 2026 to Jun 13\, 2026 and happens every:\nTuesdays: 10:00am – 6:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US & Canada)\nWednesdays: 10:00am – 6:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US & Canada)\nThursdays: 10:00am – 6:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US & Canada)\nFridays: 10:00am – 6:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US & Canada)\nSaturdays: 10:00am – 4:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US & Canada)

SUMMARY:Ayiti: The Black Pearl
DESCRIPTION:Resilience\, resistance\, and revolutionary hope for the future. These are the major themes of Haiti’s 221-year history. As the first country in the western hemisphere to be founded as the result of a successful slave revolt\, it is clear that revolutionary attitudes have defined the country itself as well as its historical impact. Haiti played a significant role in abolition and liberating many countries from colonial rule\, including: Santo Domingo(now the Dominican Republic)\, Venezuela\, Colombia\, Ecuador\, and Peru. But the ransom that France forced Haiti to pay for their own liberation set up the conditions that would lead to the country’s current challenges that have left the country less than hopeful about its future. \nA myopic\, sensationalized fantasy about an impoverished\, lawless state that is essentially hopeless and ungovernable is the default perspective used to discuss Haiti. However\, Haiti\’s potential lies in the reigns of self-determination being placed back in the hands of her people. This prospect is only possible through a revival of the same revolutionary imagination that freed Haiti the first time and allowed Haitians to realize a future no one thought was possible. \nWhile viewing the paintings in this series the audience is invited to challenge their preconceived notions about Haiti and her people through the lens of the attitudes and hope necessary to liberate Haiti from its current challenges. By emphasizing the beauty of Haiti\, its culture\, history\, and people\, we can shift the way we talk about Haiti and Haitians with the goal of advancing a brighter future for the country. \nThis is a Weekly Recurring Event\nRuns from May 1\, 2026 to May 28\, 2026 and happens every:\nTuesdays: 10:00am – 6:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US & Canada)\nWednesdays: 10:00am – 6:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US & Canada)\nThursdays: 10:00am – 6:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US & Canada)\nFridays: 10:00am – 6:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US & Canada)\nSaturdays: 10:00am – 4:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US & Canada)

SUMMARY:WINK by Jen Silverman\, Thinking Cap Theatre’s 2026-2027 season premiere
DESCRIPTION:A wickedly funny\, wildly inventive\, and fiercely unpredictable play. In WINK by Jen Silverman\, a seemingly ordinary marriage spirals into delicious chaos after one very bad decision involving the family cat.

SUMMARY:Figure/Ground
DESCRIPTION:DeGraaf’s studio practice is deeply informed by the Gestalt principles of perception\, particularly the relationship between figure and ground. Rather than presenting a stable or singular image\, his compositions invite viewers to move between what is seen immediately and what slowly emerges through closer observation. Figures and forms are first constructed through recognizable visual structures\, then gradually deconstructed through overlapping shapes\, interruptions\, and spatial ambiguity. This push and pull across the picture plane challenges the eye to continuously reorganize the image\, creating moments where foreground and background compete\, merge\, or dissolve into one another. In doing so\, the work mirrors the way perception itself functions – constantly searching for meaning\, connection\, and wholeness within fragmented experiences.\nThis is a Weekly Recurring Event runs from May 19\, 2026 to Jul 16\, 2026 and happens every:\nTuesdays: 10:00am – 6:00pm\nWednesdays: 10:00am – 6:00pm\nThursdays: 10:00am – 6:00pm\nFridays: 10:00am – 6:00pm\nSaturdays: 10:00am – 4:00pm

SUMMARY:Island City Stage presents the Florida Premiere of Light Switch
DESCRIPTION:Meet Henry Sullivan – 27\, gay\, Autistic\, and completely enchanted by the sweeping romance of 19th-century British novels. He’s read Wuthering Heights 67 times; dreamed every scene… but nothing in those pages prepared him for the complexities of modern dating. Join Henry on his journey through love\, heartbreak\, identity\, and acceptance – navigating a world that doesn’t always understand him and learning to write his own kind of love story – in Island City Stage’s Florida premiere of Light Switch by Dave Osmundsen. Tickets are on sale now for the play running May 21 – June 14. \nThis poignant coming-of-age story thoughtfully portrays one remarkable young man\’s journey to find anything — or anyone — that lights up his heart the way 19th century romantic literature does. When Henry ultimately meets a potential match in Joseph\, he wonders if Joseph will be the one to “flip the switch.” Funny\, moving\, and profoundly relatable\, Light Switch captures the power of imagination\, the longing for connection\, and the courage it takes to be truly seen. \nAutistic playwright Dave Osmundsen’s work explores the intersections of queerness and neurodiversity. Light Switch received its world premiere with Spectrum Theatre Ensemble in April 2022. Light Switch was also the 2021 Distinguished Achievement recipient of the Jean Kennedy Smith Playwriting Award\, an Honorable Mention finalist for BAPF 2021\, longlisted for the Theatre503 International Playwriting Award\, a finalist for the 2020 Carlo Annoni Playwriting Prize\, and a semi-finalist for the 2020 National Playwrights Conference. Osmundsen’s work has been seen and developed at KCACTF Region 8\, the Kennedy Center/NNPN MFA Playwrights Workshop\, B Street Theatre\, the William Inge Theatre Festival\, the Midwest Dramatists Conference\, Phoenix Theatre Company\, Clamour Theatre Company\, Premiere Stages\, and more. He was one of two recipients of the Blank Theatre and Ucross Foundation’s inaugural Future of Playwriting Prize. His one-act\, A Firework Unexploded\, was a semi-finalist for the NYC Audio Theatre Writing Contest and was produced by Pint-Sized in London. His plays have been published by or are forthcoming in The Dionysian\, Canyon Voices\, Exposition Review and Broadway Play Publishing. MFA: Arizona State University. \nIsland City Stage’s production of Light Switch is directed by theater veteran Michael Leeds and stars Gage Callenius as Ezra\, Eric Gospodinoff as Joseph\, Larry Toyter as Roggie\, Irene Adjan as Marian\, and Luis Roberto Herrera as Aaron/Ken/Another Guy. \nLight Switch co-producers are Funding Arts Broward & Mark Loeser and the Opening Doors Charitable Trust; Lights and Sound Sponsor is Scott Bennett; Talent Sponsors are Jim Morgan & Joe Rodonis; Costume Sponsors is Richard Meyerson; and Set Sponsor is Glenn Goldberg. Additional funding is provided by the following: The Our Fund Foundation\, The Schubert Foundation Inc.\, the SHS Foundation\, the Warten Foundation\, and OutClique. \nIndividual show tickets start at $50.

SUMMARY:History Fort Lauderdale’s “Three by the River” Artists-in-Residence Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:History Fort Lauderdale presents “Three by the River\,” an Artists-in-Residence annual exhibition\, from June 4 to June 30. Featured will be acrylics by Constance Ivana\, mixed media works by Stephanie McMillan\, and portraits by Florencia Clement de Grandprey. \nConstance Ivana is a Fort Lauderdale–based mural artist and visual creative passionate about creating bold\, vibrant artwork that sparks reflection\, conversation\, and joy. Her art is inspired by social justice\, Black stories\, women’s voices\, and nature. \nStephanie McMillan is a third-generation Fort Lauderdale resident and artist. Her distinctive style combines affectionate humor with the bright colors of the sunny tropics. A graduate of the\nTisch School of the Arts at NYU\, with a focus in animation\, she began drawing illustrations and editorial cartoons\, for which she won several Florida Press Club awards. This led to 25 years as a widely published freelance cartoonist and illustrator producing award-winning editorial cartoons\, syndicated comic strips\, comic journalism\, and graphic novels. In recent years she has returned to painting\, drawing\, and mixed media assemblage. She is the author/illustrator of several books including As the World Burns and The Beginning of the American Fall: A Comics Journalist Inside the Occupy Wall Street Movement (Seven Stories Press).

Her artistic journey began in 2014 when she left her full-time job in interior design to follow her true passion: painting. Clement de Grandprey has developed a style without rules\, granting her the freedom to express herself fully. She blends her love for the classic masters with contemporary design\, resulting in unique mixed media paintings. Her award-winning work celebrates strong\, confident\, soul-aligned men and women.

SUMMARY:History Fort Lauderdale’s “Three by the River” Artists Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:History Fort Lauderdale will host an opening reception and meet-and-greet for its “Three by the River” Artists-in-Residence annual exhibition on Thursday\, June 4\, from 6 – 8 p.m.\, at the New River Inn Museum of History building on History Fort Lauderdale’s campus. Featured artists include Constance Ivana\, Stephanie McMillan\, and Florencia Clement de Grandprey. Complimentary light bites and beverages will be provided. The exhibition runs through June 30. \nConstance Ivana is a Fort Lauderdale–based mural artist and visual creative passionate about creating bold\, vibrant artwork that sparks reflection\, conversation\, and joy. Her art is inspired by social justice\, Black stories\, women’s voices\, and nature. \nStephanie McMillan is a third-generation Fort Lauderdale resident and artist. Her distinctive style combines affectionate humor with the bright colors of the sunny tropics. A graduate of the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU\, with a focus in animation\, she began drawing illustrations and editorial cartoons\, for which she won several Florida Press Club awards. This led to 25 years as a widely published freelance cartoonist and illustrator producing award-winning editorial cartoons\, syndicated comic strips\, comic journalism\, and graphic novels. In recent years she has returned to painting\, drawing\, and mixed media assemblage. She is the author/illustrator of several books including As the World Burns and The Beginning of the American Fall: A Comics Journalist Inside the Occupy Wall Street Movement (Seven Stories Press). Her original sketches\, illustrations\, comics\, and papers are archived at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum at Ohio State University. \nBorn and raised in southern Spain\, Florencia Clement de Grandprey is a self-taught mixed media figurative artist whose mission is to empower and inspire through meaningful and uplifting artwork. Her artistic journey began in 2014 when she left her full-time job in interior design to follow her true passion: painting. Clement de Grandprey has developed a style without rules\, granting her the freedom to express herself fully. She blends her love for the classic masters with contemporary design\, resulting in unique mixed media paintings. Her award-winning work celebrates strong\, confident\, soul-aligned men and women. She aims to highlight our unique\, perfectly imperfect nature\, bringing out our strengths and beauty as a reminder of who we truly are. She ensures that a variety of ethnicities are represented\, making everyone feel seen and honored in her art. \nHistory Fort Lauderdale’s Artists-in-Residence Annual Show is sponsored by the following funds at the Community Foundation of Broward: Jan and Ed Crocker Unrestricted Fund\, Leo M. and Alice J. Rutten Fund and The Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation Broward Community Fund.
