Vibrant, regionally distinct, contemporary visual and performing arts in South Florida. Featuring rotating exhibitions, family-friendly performances, and arts education programs for everyone.
Well curated galleries in this relatively small space make for an enjoyable visit. Currently featured are contemporary works from Florida artists. Most were quite thought provoking. They also have a small, whimsical courtyard with a fun, tropical vibe. Very helpful staff. Modest $7 admission makes this a worthwhile stop for an hour or two.

If you thought Wynwood was the only place to go to see large scale murals you might be surprised to see them popping up everywhere. While it is still the first place that comes to mind, many cities are adding murals to their cityscapes, including these 25 beauties throughout a nine-block area between U.S. 1 and Dixie Highway and Tyler and Van Buren streets in Hollywood. Hollywood started their mural project in 2012. Artists are selected by the Hollywood Redevelopment Agency and must agree to keep their murals free from politics and nudity. Artists who have participated in the program include local, national, and internationally recognized artists such as Tatiana Suarez, Rone, The London Police, Ernesto Maranje, Logan Hicks and Kenny Scharf. On the third Saturday of the month, Hollywood offers a free one hour walking tour of the murals. Tours meet at 6 PM at Anniversary Park. If you can't make the tour, you can download a mural map from the city website and do your own self guided tour. While I walked around I saw people using the murals for their photoshoots. The art adds so much interest and color to the downtown. My favorite murals are the sea turtle by artist Enesto Maranje and the show stopping flamingo covered building created by artist Key Detail in 2018. Finding the murals is fun and free activity. Come out and get some fresh air and exercise while discovering your own favorite work of art.
