ArtServe—one of the nation’s longest-standing arts incubators—held its inaugural “Impact Awards” to honor the most transformative and influential artists and arts supporters in Greater Fort Lauderdale local media, the community, business and philanthropy.?
At the event sponsored by?FPL,?Primo Liquors,?John Knox Village, OutClique and?Truist, attendees and honorees enjoyed a fashion show by artist Kenny Ruiz of?MagChop, along with cocktails and live music as they mingled amid?ArtServe’s successful “Art and Mental Health” exhibit?currently being displayed through Friday, June 16, 2023.
