The 25,000 square foot space provides a unique experience for collectors, designers, curators, art aficionados and the everyday consumer.

Since joining the Cultural Council in 2018, he has worked to rebrand the Council, build a robust artist services team, restructure the Council’s programs and services, and launch two new initiatives to provide direct funding to the cultural sector. He created the Artist Innovation Fellowship program, awarding 11 Palm Beach County artists to date with career-enhancing funding and opportunities, and the Cultural Resiliency Fund to help organizations recover post pandemic. In 2021, he led the development of the first Arts & Tourism Summit for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion for Palm Beach County. Dave was awarded the Vision 2020 Award by Art Synergy and for the last three years, he has been named one of Palm Beach County’s most influential business leaders in Palm Beach Illustrated’s The Palm Beach 100.

Dave was named a Sagamore of the Wabash, one of Indiana’s highest honors, by Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb.












Evan Snow- Being one of those rare "Native South Floridian's" hailing from Broward County, Evan Snow takes a lot of pride in his community. With a passion for The Arts, Culture, Community, and now yoga - Evan has been pursuing his passions by doing work that he finds not only rewarding & fulfilling, but that can impact his community.

 These are some of the reasons why he started Choose954, a social movement aimed to Cultivate Culture & Community in Broward, which lead to Art Fort Lauderdale - THE "Art Fair On The Water" aimed to help elevate the arts locally in his community while putting FTL on the Art World map as an international destination to view & interact with art. While the art fair had to take a pause due to COVID, Evan still continues the annual Fort Lauderdale Art & Design Week that launched in 2018.

 These initiatives lead to the creation of Zero Empty Spaces (ZES), an initiative to activate vacant commercial real estate locations to make affordable artist studio spaces starting @ $2.50/sqft on a month-to-month basis. In its first 3 years ZES has grown to 27 locations in 6 counties between 2 states with over 300 artists having worked in formerly vacant spaces with national expansion plans underway to support the commercial real estate crisis & communities across the country to use the arts as a problem solver.












Scott Jeffries-Scott Jeffries is a self-taught artist and consultant. He is the CEO and Founder of Fannie Ward Carmen Scott, in memory of his artist grandmother, Fannie Richards . A privately held company which includes Scottyjart.com. He went to the University of Pittsburgh on an athletic scholarship and achieved All-American recognition as a swimmer.

 A graduate from Pittsburgh’s School of Law in 1992 he maintained a Legal practice in Philadelphia as a litigation attorney for a variety of clients including major felony criminal defendants to physicians in medical malpractice cases until 2006 when he became Director of Client Services for a firm servicing Banking Institutions in Florida.

 In 2016 Scott was named one the “Top Ten Visual Artists in Palm Beach County by the New Times and is in many private collections throughout the United States. His working Art Studio/Gallery is the Outback Gallery located in Lake Worth
