Broward Cultural's Lighting Project for the 17th Street Causeway Bridge

Donors Coming Together “Under the Stars”

Stay up to date on major milestones, project announcements, and community celebrations as we continue building The Causeway Bridge: Everyone Under the Stars.

The Community Foundation of Broward, the Broward County Cultural Division, and the Cultural Foundation of Broward recently came together to present an intimate reception to showcase the plans for “Everyone Under the Stars” for Community Foundation donors. Hosted by the Pier Sixty-Six Residences overlooking the bridge, potential supporters learned more about the project and Broward County’s commitment to public art and had a chance to meet artist Tracey Dear. You can watch a video conversation between Tracey and Cultural Division Interim Director, Amanda Covach, here.
