Public Art Program at The Parker - Dynamic outdoor art light projection by Mad Arts kicks off in January December 25, 2024 Share Funding Arts Broward (FAB) announced the launch of a new public art program titled, FAB Goes Public, with a dynamic outdoor artistic light display on the exterior wall of The Parker in Fort Lauderdale from January through April. Made possible with the support of Funding Arts Broward, the membership-based organization dedicated to championing the arts in Broward, in collaboration with the Broward Center for the Performing Arts and the Broward Performing Arts Foundation, The Parker and Mad Arts, FAB Goes Public is FAB’s public art initiative designed to broaden appreciation for the arts within the community, reach a larger audience and benefit emerging artists by teaching them new skills and showcasing their work. The impetus behind FAB Goes Public originated from the nonprofit’s recently published “Enriching the Arts Opportunities in Broward County’s Arts Community” report which identified key needs within Broward County’s arts community. A signature public art event was a top priority. “Public art enhances our cultural landscape, engages communities, contributes to economic vitality and celebrates diversity,” said FAB President Mary Riedel. “We are thrilled to be able to bring this multi-month outdoor light projection to the community and at the same time support our local artists.” Miami native, Marc Aptakin, Founder and acting CEO of Mad Arts, is a longtime supporter of local arts initiatives, providing complimentary space for artists exhibits and now includes education. “As a former artist and photographer, I support the arts and artists in any way that I can,” said Aptakin. “I’m delighted to partner with FAB and host instructive workshops for aspiring artists.” FAB worked alongside Sofia Bastidas, Mad Arts Curator, to identify the artists that will be showcased for FAB Goes Public. The artists include Rosanna Kalis and Miguel Gonzalez, who are both local artists working at the intersection of arts and technology. The project seeks to empower and elevate local artists by expanding their digital expertise to enhance their visibility. An important part of the program was to implement an educational initiative at Mad Arts. This program hopes to educate participants to explore their creativity and develop new technical skills, such as 3D projection mapping. “With this immersive lighting experience at The Parker, we have a unique opportunity to weave in the visual arts with the performing arts,” said Lisa Kitei, President of the Broward Performing Arts Foundation and longtime FAB member. “We look forward to lighting up the sky at The Parker to further engage our community in the arts.” The Parker is located at 707 Northeast 8th Street, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33304.

Bonding With Your Four-Legged Friend By Family Features May 15, 2024 Share Your dog may be one of your best friends, but that bond doesn't happen overnight. Investing in quality one-on-one time can have a big impact on the bond you build with your four-legged companion. One of the best ways to show dogs love is by keeping them healthy and spending quality time with them. Dedicating time every day to your dog's well-being can help establish a connection, give you opportunities to express affection and foster shared bonding moments. Training Teaching your dog obedience isn't just about eliminating undesirable behaviors. Training allows you to clearly communicate your expectations to your dog. It also builds your dog's confidence through positive feedback received after mastering a command or new trick. Most dogs thrive on meeting their owners' expectations, so consistent commands they can recognize and follow help deepen your connection. Another way to build trust through behavior training is establishing regular routines. Giving your dog a clear set of expectations helps build mutual trust. You can create routines around the key milestones of each day, such as mealtimes, walks and bedtime. Grooming Some pets love bathtime; others avoid it at all costs. Either way, you can make the experience more rewarding for you and your pet if you use it as an opportunity to spend some quality time together and shower your pet with extra affection. Many pets are especially sensitive to grooming near their eyes, but keeping the eyes clean and free of dirt and buildup may help reduce the risk of infection, reduce tear stains and support your dog's eye health. Consider options like Project Watson eye wash for dogs, which comes in an easy-to-use bottle with a tip that allows for a steady stream of solution to use alone or by soaking a clean washcloth. Made with naturally inspired, high-quality ingredients, the eye wash is designed to match the pH of a dog's eye and help remove dried mucus, foreign materials, pollen and other irritants. Between grooming sessions, you can also clean your dog's eyes with eyelid wipes. The wipes, which are part of the Project Watson line of dog care products developed by the experts at Bausch + Lomb and evaluated by veterinarians, are formulated with micellar technology that cleanses and hydrates around the eyes while helping remove excess buildup associated with irritated, dry eyes. The gentle formula is paraben free, pH-balanced and fragrance free, made to mimic the ingredients found in natural tears and provide a soothing, gentle cleaning. Exercise Your dog needs daily exercise, just like you. Make your workouts do double duty by taking your dog along for a walk or jog. Just be sure to match your workout level to your pet's abilities; just like humans, dogs need to build up endurance before tackling an extended route. Also be mindful of the terrain and ensure your pet's paws are safe from potential risks like sharp or abrasive surfaces and extreme heat or cold. Down Time While dogs need plenty of practical attention and structure, some of the best bonding comes from letting loose and simply enjoying interacting with your pooch. That might mean wrestling with a favorite toy, throwing a ball or just snuggling on the couch with plenty of petting and scratches. For more suggestions to keep your four-legged friend happy and healthy, speak with your veterinarian or visit: http://tryprojectwatson.com < Previous News Next News >

Illuminating The Future October 19, 2023 Share City Of Hollywood Street Lights Get An Upgrade In the heart of Hollywood, a silent revolution is taking place, one that's not only illuminating the city but also brightening the lives of its residents. The City of Hollywood Street Light Upgrade Project is on the horizon, promising a more radiant and secure urban landscape. This transition to State-Of-The-Art LED Lighting is not merely about aesthetics but a vital step towards enhancing visibility, energy efficiency, and the overall safety of the city streets. A city's streets are its lifeline, a network of arteries that pulse with the vitality of urban life. Properly lit streets contribute significantly to the quality of life, making it safer and more inviting. When street crossings are well-lit, they inspire residents to step out and explore their neighborhood on foot, while also acting as a deterrent to crime and vandalism. The City of Hollywood Street Light Upgrade is poised to make these aspirations a reality, ensuring a brighter, safer, and more vibrant community. Florida Power and Light has been leading the way by replacing Traditional High-Pressure Sodium Vapor (HPSV) Fixtures with Energy-Efficient LED Lighting over the past few years. This initiative aims to not only improve the quality of light but also to reduce energy consumption and its associated costs. The City of Hollywood has decided to follow suit, embarking on a mission to upgrade more than 2,000 City-owned fixtures. A recent Audit conducted by NORESCO meticulously examined the condition and ownership of the city's streetlight fixtures. The Audit identified 2,748 fixtures owned by the City, all of which were in dire need of an upgrade to LED. The transition is set to begin this fall, and while the physical poles will remain mostly unchanged, the fixtures themselves will be swapped out to accommodate LED Bulbs. The result will be a noticeable transformation in the quality of light, with brighter and whiter illumination directed towards the streets. For residents curious about when these upgrades will touch their neighborhoods, a handy interactive map is available at: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/2775d09de2e24b7ca90b7af0b8e68186 - This tool offers real-time insights into the progress of the Hollywood City Street Light Upgrade, keeping everyone in the loop about when the transformation will brighten their streets. If you missed the recent Community Meeting on October 12th, there's no need to worry. You can still catch up by viewing the video at: https://cohfl.webex.com/recordingservice/sites/cohfl/recording/playback/0855bf804b79103cbed72ec814f1ef58 - This recording provides a valuable insight into the discussions, concerns, and the enthusiasm surrounding the Hollywood City Street Light Upgrade. For those who wish to delve deeper into the technical aspects and the rationale behind this upgrade, the public presentation is available at: https://fl-hollywood2.civicplus.com/DocumentCenter/View/22203/Hollywood-Streetlight-Replacement-Project - This presentation details the project's scope, goals, and the expected benefits, ensuring that all questions are answered. The official website of the City of Hollywood serves as an invaluable resource for residents seeking additional information, which can be visited at: www.hollywoodfl.org As the city takes a monumental step towards illuminating its streets with the brilliance of LED Technology, it's not just about the change in light fixtures but a brighter future for Hollywood. These upgrades are a testament to the city's commitment to Safety, Sustainability, and the Well-Being of its residents! < Previous News Next News >
