Fort Lauderdale – Eleven teenage artists showcased and sold their art on Saturday, Feb. 27 in the FATVillage Art District, thanks to ArtStART 2016, a mentoring program by ceramics artist Cheryl Brown.
“Mentoring students helps to grow the local art culture,” Brown explains. “The best way of keeping young talent in their home communities is to remind them what these communities have to offer. ArtStART 2016 demonstrated that there is a place for student artists in our local art culture, and it teaches them how to secure this place.”

Broward College Program Trains Young Artists And Designers
Panels from Josh Cartwright’s black and white storyboard of “The Tell-Tale Heart.”
A new program at Broward College seeks to train the next generation of South Florida artists and designers. The school earned national certification for the Visual Arts and Design Academy – becoming the first community college in the South to have that. Florida’s higher education system has put a focus on training workers for health care and other high-demand fields in recent years. And lawmakers have encouraged school districts to start career-training programs. But the National Endowment for the Arts estimates the arts contribute $500 billion to the nation’s economy each year. And leaders of the Broward College program argue the arts and technology are tied together.
“People don’t realize the relationship, frequently, between science and art,” said Broward College art professor Leo Stitsky. “If we do away with pure science there would be no computer. If we do away with art there would be no Apple.” Stitsky says most of the students in the Visual Arts and Design Academy are just developing their artistic voice. The students must apply and go through a jury process before they are admitted to the program. Many students are like Josh Cartwright, a student from Dillard’s High Tech Digital Art & Design Magnet. He showed talent, but said he didn’t think of studying art or design until the high school teacher recommended the program. “When I was graduating high school I wasn’t really into art yet,” Cartwright said. “I knew I could draw and do, like, small projects.” Now Cartwright is interested in creating user interfaces and apps for phones, tablets or computers.
Dillard's Digital Design and Visual Art graduates make up the majority of the student population accepted into the Academy. Kudos to Alyssa Camacho, Piero Penizzotto, Briyana Butler, Rasi Moore, Kendy Calixte, Cesar Valero, Ruth Barotte, Gaby Pabon and many others accepted into this prestigious program.

"A Fisherman's Heart" by Denise Robillard
Though limited in color, this boat house itself was my perspective as a potential escape emotionally and physically for people. Especially for fisherman, boats have always been their way of escaping from the challenges of life itself and giving them the adventures that they will never forget.
"Personal" by Brittany Duffy
I was already capturing a few swan pictures from afar but I was able to get really close for this shot allowing me to feel like this shoot was "personal". I loved the form of the swan's neck and how he seemed to be looking directly at me.
"Fountain" by Brittany Duffy
I was already mesmerized by the fountain and how the water splashed upon the spout. I wanted to capture just that aspect of the fountain. Several shots were taken, but this particular image captured the beauty I was seeing best.
"Chickee Hut" by Alyssa Camacho
What inspired me to capture this photograph was the contrast of the foliage and the Chickee Hut, as well as how the picture was reflected in the water and how well the light and dark of the image complemented each other. The way the Chickee Hut appeared to be cocooned by the surrounding plant life gives it a warm and relax feeling.
"Contrast" by Brittany Duffy
What inspired me to capture this piece is the beautiful contrast of the three flowering plants. I was able to compile this composition by placing the yellow plant on top of the pink leaf and adding a little more contrast with a touch of a white flower.
