Broward Center for the Performing Arts

The community gathered to celebrate the impact of the arts when Broward Cultural Division hosted the second annual State of the Arts address in the Mary N. Porter Riverview Ballroom. The energy was high as Fushu Daiko opened the program with Taiko drumming, and it was great to see so much excitement and so many new programs. To quote Broward Cultural Division Director Phillip Dunlap: “The state of our arts is strong …and getting stronger!” We’re excited for all that’s to come as Broward County continues to increase investment in the arts and culture sector.

The Performing Arts Center Authority, Broward Center’s governing body, today announced the appointment of Catherine Carter as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Catherine has most recently served as our interim CFO, and we are delighted to see her take on this new role. Catherine will oversee the financial operations of the Broward Center, guiding the organization’s business strategy, budgeting, and financial reporting, while supporting the Center’s long-term goals of artistic excellence, education and community engagement.
