C&I Studios

Located in a 4,000-square-foot warehouse space in Fort Lauderdale's up-and-coming FAT Village Arts District, C&I Studios is a multipurpose media company and events space with the mission of developing and cultivating an arts scene in South Florida. The massive, open space is host to a smorgasbord of events, from themed art walk parties and $1 movie nights to "Live at C&I," a free concert series showcasing the best in local music. Complete with its own recording studio, wardrobe and makeup area, cycloramic wall, lounge area, and even its own fully stocked and licensed bar, this hip and relaxed spot is for the community — everyone from local creative types to firefighters and cops can be seen hanging out at one of the events. “This is our town, and it is creative,” says founding director Josh Miller of the space. “People just didn't know where to go. Now they do.”
