From private chef to culinary instructor, Taciana McDaniel is building something bigger than a food brand. Blackbox Kitchen is about connection, culture, and confidence in the kitchen.

There is nothing subtle about your first crush. It is electric. Consuming. Slightly delusional. Completely unforgettable. The Legend of Juan Jose Mundo, directed by Michael Walker, dives headfirst into that feeling and does not apologize for it. Screening as part of the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival, the film transports audiences back to 1984 with big hair, arcade glow, and the emotional intensity of teenage life.

In a fitness market filled with long workouts and overwhelming gym floors, Sweat 440 Coral Springs is proving that efficiency does not mean compromise. The concept is simple. A structured 40-minute HIIT workout. But inside the studio, it becomes clear that what members are really getting is programming, accountability, and a system designed for measurable progress. We spoke with Studio Manager Jenna Spina about what makes the experience different.

Some films begin with a plan. Others begin with a moment. For filmmaker Jane Centofante, Saffron Robe began during what was meant to be a simple journey. A first trip to Southeast Asia. A desire to see new places. A visit to an old friend. Then Luang Prabang changed everything. Nestled in northern Laos, the city’s quiet streets, golden temples, and saffron-robed monks revealed something Centofante realized most people in the West rarely see or understand: the deep, endu

Through movement, authentic relating, and somatic practice, Ani Mercedes is creating grounded, playful spaces where people can slow down, listen to themselves, and reconnect with what feels true. In a culture that rewards speed, productivity, and constant self-optimization, Ani Mercedes is inviting people back into something quieter and more radical: presence. Based in Broward County, Ani works with people who feel disconnected, overthinking, or unsure of themselves and wan

By any placemaking metric—access, activation, identity, and impact—IGNITE Broward has matured into one of South Florida’s most compelling examples of how immersive art can transform everyday spaces into shared civic experiences.

Downtown Fort Lauderdale is about to witness something different. Not just murals going up on walls, but stories taking shape in real time. Not just artists painting, but nonprofits being seen. Not just a weekend event, but a new benchmark for how public art, community impact, and cultural collaboration can coexist. On February 28 and March 1, Business for the Arts Broward, in partnership with the Fort Lauderdale DDA, will debut the inaugural Art Walls Mural Fest at The

For forty years, the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival has quietly done something remarkable. It has adapted, endured, and remained culturally relevant in an industry that has transformed almost beyond recognition. As FLiFF celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2026, Managing Director Hal Axler sees longevity not as an accident, but as a direct result of staying responsive to audiences, filmmakers, and the moment.

This winter, Bonnet House Museum & Gardens becomes something more than a historic museum home dedicated to historic and environmental preservation steps aways from the Fort Lauderdale Beach shoreline—it transforms into one of the most significant outdoor sculpture exhibitions in the United States.

In a culture dominated by dating apps, bios, and endless swiping, meeting someone in real life can feel unexpectedly difficult. This Valentine’s Day, The Heart Yoga Studio in Flagler Village (Fort Lauderdale) is offering an alternative that feels both refreshing and deeply intentional. The Valentine’s Day Singles Meetup is not a speed dating event and it is not built around pressure or performance. Instead, it is a community-centered gathering designed to help people conne

What started as an effort to activate a single street has grown into one of Broward County’s most impactful cultural movements. The AOTA (Avenue of the Arts) Mural Festival began along NW 7th Avenue—now widely recognized as the Avenue of the Arts—with a simple but powerful idea: bring art directly to the community and invite people to experience creativity where they already live.

In Broward County, culture shows up in many forms. Music, visual art, dance, theater, and festivals all play a role in shaping how people connect to place and to one another. Storytellers adds something both timeless and deeply needed to that mix: a space dedicated to listening. Storytellers is a spoken word performance series curated and produced by Michael Pavlov of Ring The Bell Management, designed to center truth, vulnerability, and shared human experience.

The Live Therapy Show is back, and it is not just another night of stand-up. It is a reminder of why gathering in a room together to laugh still matters. This interactive comedy experience lives somewhere between stand-up, improv, and shared human reflection. Part comedy show, part audience experiment, and part “what just happened?”, The Live Therapy Show thrives on unpredictability. No two nights are the same because no two audiences show up the same way.

In a city full of wellness spaces, The Heart in Flagler Village stands out not by being louder, trendier, or more extreme, but by being more intentional. This is not a studio chasing performance, aesthetics, or “new year, new you” energy. It is a space built around belonging, nervous system care, and the belief that healing happens when people feel safe enough to show up exactly as they are.

Some Of The Cocktail Lineup At Heyday In a time when many new spaces are designed to make noise, Heyday Miami is doing something far more compelling. It’s building presence. Located at 120 S. 20th Ave in Hollywood, Heyday Miami is a day-to-night neighborhood café and wine bar that feels less like a destination and more like a rhythm. The kind that eases into your routine, then suddenly becomes part of it. Morning coffee turns into an afternoon pause. A juice or smoothie beco

On Saturday, January 24, Huizenga Park officially reopens in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale, marking a meaningful moment in the city’s ongoing evolution from a place people visit to a place people truly live. More than a refreshed green space, the reopening reflects a broader commitment to walkability, cultural presence, and everyday community life. Led by the Fort Lauderdale Downtown Development Authority, the day-long celebration reintroduces Huizenga Park as a share
