 .\nHistory Fort Lauderdale artist-in-residence Constance Ivana is passiona
 te about creating bold\, vibrant works of art that spark reflection\, conv
 ersation\, and joy. Her creative journey is fueled by a desire to connect 
 people through art—whether it’s through large-scale murals\, interacti
 ve art workshops\, or painting parties that bring communities together. He
 r pieces blend acrylic paint\, spray paint\, wood\, and mirrors that not o
 nly transform spaces but also remind us that art heals and reflection fost
 ers growth. She aims to make art accessible\, meaningful\, and powerful\, 
 while inspiring others to discover their own creativity.\nThe archival pho
 tography component chronicles African American life in South Florida from 
 the 1900s through the 1960s. From family and school life to segregation\, 
 peaceful protests and triumphs\, the selected photos offer insight how our
  community has evolved and overcome. Curated by Dillard instructor Celesti
 n Joseph\, the advanced placement student showcase illustrates a cultural 
 reflection of today’s issues as see through the lens of upcoming young a
 rtists.\nJoseph received his master’s in fine arts in painting from the 
 University of Pennsylvania. He received a bachelor’s in fine arts\, cum 
 laude\, from the University of Hartford as a painting major\, with an art 
 history minor\, and concentrations in printmaking and graphic design studi
 es. Joseph also received a prestigious Yale/Norfolk Art and Music Scholars
 hip to further his studies. Currently\, he is teaching Advanced Placement 
 studio art classes at his alma mater Dillard Center for the Arts where he 
 has been strengthening the visual arts program since 1999.\nHistory Fort L
