Art of the Community In March 2012, the Coral Springs Museum of Art, in partnership with the City of Coral Springs and a Citizens Task Force, was one of three organizations to receive the Community Foundation of Broward’s “Art of the Community” Grant. This project will use art as a catalyst to create a sense of community and celebrate the diversity present in the City of Coral Springs. Residents representing all the cultures of the City will be involved in the design and painting of a graphic on the water tower in Mullins Park. Events will also be open to the public to enjoy and to participate in. For additional information on the project, how to participate or how to become a sponsor please contact the Museum at 954-340-5000.
