Origins[]

Young At Art Museum was founded in 1987 to fill a void in arts education in South Florida public schools. Founded by Esther and Mindy Shrago, Young At Art traveled South Florida for two years as a Museum Without Walls, opening in 1989 in a 3,200 sq. ft. storefront in Plantation, Florida. Ten years later, Young At Art relocated to Davie in 1998, moving into a 24,000 sq. ft. leased space. Over the next decade, Young At Art set its sights on establishing a permanent home. With federal, state, county, town and community support - and through a public/private partnership with Broward County - Young At Art opened a groundbreaking new 55,000 sq. ft. Gold LEED museum and public library on May 5, 2012, named by the Knight Foundation "as one of the most transformative arts initiatives in South Florida."^{[1] [2]} During the COVID-19 pandemic Young At Art parted from the County building. Early 2021 relocating and opening in a new interactive gallery at the Westfield Broward Mall with more accessibility to serve the community. ^[3]
