History

Established in 1978.

The Art and Culture Center of Hollywood was established by the City of Hollywood in 1975 and incorporated in August 1978 as a private, non-​profit, 501©(3) corporation. In 1991, the Art and Culture Center moved from Hollywood Beach to the city-​owned, historic Kagey mansion in downtown Hollywood at 1650 Harrison St. 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. The Center’s adult and children’s visual and performing arts education programs celebrate creativity and excellence, while its innovative and unique exhibitions, films and performances introduce fresh perspective to the arts. The Art and Culture Center’s educational programming includes adult and children’s arts classes, after-​school and outreach programs, and camps. It continues to impact more than 50,000 visitors and is forever to be held for public enjoyment by city government.
