In Connection brings together a vibrant group of artists from the Coral Springs Art Guild, who explore the complexity and subtlety of the forces that bind us to each other, to our communities, to the natural world, or to the networks of family and friendship. This exhibition ponders the state of “togetherness” not as something fixed, but as a living thread, continuously evolving and often essential.
Working across painting, drawing, collage, mixed media, and photography, the artists trace personal and collective narratives that speak to connection in its many forms. The Guild members represented here are at diverse stages in their careers, from emerging voices to dedicated, long-time practitioners who have sustained a lifelong commitment to artmaking.
The Coral Springs Artist Guild is a program of the Coral Springs Museum of Art that brings together dedicated local artiststo exchange ideas and knowledge while nurturing creativity and professional development. Comprised of over 30 members across various generations and backgrounds, the CSAG provides a platform for thoughtful dialogue, education, community building, and artistic growth.

Figure/Ground
2026-07-18 10:00 - 18:00, 2026-07-17 10:00 - 18:00, 2026-07-16 10:00 - 18:00 | Pompano Beach Cultural Center, 50 West Atlantic Boulevard Pompano Beach, FL 33060 United States, Pompano Beach Cultural Center, FL, 33060, United States
DeGraaf’s studio practice is deeply informed by the Gestalt principles of perception, particularly the relationship between figure and ground. Rather than presenting a stable or singular image, his compositions invite viewers to move between what is seen immediately and what slowly emerges through closer observation. Figures and forms are first constructed through recognizable visual structures, then gradually deconstructed through overlapping shapes, interruptions, and spatial ambiguity. This push and pull across the picture plane challenges the eye to continuously reorganize the image, creating moments where foreground and background compete, merge, or dissolve into one another. In doing so, the work mirrors the way perception itself functions – constantly searching for meaning, connection, and wholeness within fragmented experiences.

Memorial Foundation and Memorial Cardiac and Vascular Institute Offers Free Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Screenings to Broward County Residents
2026-07-18 09:00 - 15:00 | Memorial Hospital West, GME Auditorium A & B, 703 N. Flamingo Road, Pembroke Pines, FL, 33028, United States
Free Screening: Saturday, July 18 at Memorial Hospital West
The first free community screening is Saturday, July 18 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Memorial Hospital West, GME Auditorium A & B, 703 N. Flamingo Road, Pembroke Pines. Residents are encouraged to get screened if they have one or more of the following risk factors:
• Leg pain while walking
• Family history of PAD
• Diabetes
• High blood pressure or high cholesterol
• Chronic kidney disease
• Current or past smoking history
Common symptoms include leg pain, cramping or numbness during walking; sores or wounds on the feet that heal slowly; pale or discolored toes; decreased walking distance; or one leg or foot that feels colder than the other.
To register, call 954-844-0907.
“PAD is common and seriously underdiagnosed, and women in particular have often been overlooked in the research and clinical guidelines that shape how we treat vascular disease,” said Dr. Tuerff. “In many families, women are the ones managing appointments, medications and health decisions for loved ones. When we reach women with information and preventive care, the impact extends throughout entire households and communities. After 25 years in practice, I can tell you early detection can mean the difference between managing a condition and losing a limb.”

An Exploration of Color
2026-07-17 10:00 - 18:00 | Bailey Contemporary Arts Center, 41 NE 1st St, Pompano Beach, FL, 33060, United States
Since childhood, Sarah Rocca has been captivated by the power of imagery, the ability to freeze time and preserve memories through the art of painting with light. Her vivid imagination, once confined to the colorful worlds she envisioned as a child, found its voice through digital tools. This fusion of creativity and technology allowed Rocca to bring her unique perspective to life and share it with a broader audience.
Rocca’s use of color serves not only as a visual element but as a narrative device. Through her deliberate color choices, she conveys mood, emotion and unspoken subtext, inviting viewers to engage with each piece on a personal level. An Exploration of Color is a visual memoir, a journey through Rocca’s experiences of love, divorce, depression and joy. Each image encourages the viewer to reflect on how color influences their emotions and to interpret the story it tells through their own lens.

Skweezy Jibbs Makes A Movie w/ Skweezy live in person!
2026-07-16 19:15 - 22:00 | AMC Pompano Beach 18, 2315 North Federal Highway, Pompano Beach,, FL, 33062, United States
Be among the first people to see Skweezy Jibbs Makes A Movie, and stay for an exclusive Q&A with Skweezy himself. One night only!
Oddball internet legend Skweezy Jibbs is making the movie of his dreams: “literally John Wick, plus Magic Mike, plus Transformers, plus Fast and the Furious.” Unfortunately for him, he’s got no money, no experience, no skill, and no filmmaking talent. While Skweezy makes his movie, the actual film is the mockumentary chronicling the trainwreck, even as he thinks he’s creating the greatest blockbuster ever, in part to win the love and respect of his emotionally distant mother. As chaos ensues, the production derails, and his mom takes over, Skweezy is forced to confront the very essence of who he is, and why he does the crazy things he does.
Skweezy will be live, in-person for each show, and there will be an opportunity after the show to meet him. He is doing a full US tour this summer, so go to skweezymovie.com for a complete list of dates.

2026-07-16 19:00 - 21:00 | Pompano Beach Amphitheater, 1801 NE 6th Street, Pompano Beach, FL, 33060, United States

Colin Hay and Greg Ham responded to demand and toured many parts of the world as Men At Work from 1996 into the 2000’s. Sadly, Greg Ham passed away in 2012.
Founding member Colin Hay has developed a solo career over the last 35 years, writing, recording, and touring extensively throughout the world as a solo artist. He is presently part of Ringo Starr’s All Starr Band.
Since 2019, he has also toured and played under the Men At Work banner with his LA based group of musicians, where he plays an exclusively Men At Work set, including all the hits and dearly loved songs which clearly have stood the test of time.
