Grace Arts Florida Presents ‘City of the Arts’ Project, An Inspiring Film Series Featuring Artist Conversations, Exhibits and Performances Celebrating Culture and Community

Fort Lauderdale Florida — Grace Arts Florida, in collaboration with local artists and cultural contributors from several states and countries, is proud to present a free captivating film series titled “Through a Flowering Place: Women of the Saltwater Railroad.” This series of short films and cultural events is part of a year long ‘City of the Arts’ initiative of cultural events featuring multiple artistic disciplines, free in several public places; and made possible through a grant from the Community Foundation of Broward.

CotA kicks off in the summer 2023 with the ‘Through a Flowering Place’ film series commemorating journeys to freedom undertaken by six inspiring women who lived and traveled Florida’s Underground Railroad. The screenings, artist discussions, exhibits and dance performances take place at various locations in Broward County in July. CotA continues in the fall and winter with a theater festival on the beach, art exhibits on the water and more community cultural conversations.
