Art and Culture Center of Hollywood

Established by the City of Hollywood in 1975 as part of its Parks and Recreation Department, the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood was incorporated in Aug. 31, 1978 as a private, non-profit, 501(c)(3) corporation. From its small, beachfront gallery, which was dedicated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Nov. 2, 1975, the Center found its niche in South Florida’s art scene by promoting contemporary, innovative artists and programs. The Center redefined its mission in 1997 to offer performing arts on par with its visual arts programs. In 2000, it took over the programming and management of the city’s Hollywood Central Performing Arts Center, a 500-seat theater located at 1770 Monroe St. (U.S. 1 and Monroe Street).
