Broward Trust for Historic Preservation:
Protect and preserve the Fort Lauderdale beach legacy
This stretch of beach is where Fort Lauderdale began. In 1838, during the Second Seminole War, the U.S. military constructed the third fort at the mouth of the New River. That fort gave rise to the name “Fort Lauderdale.”
Today, the area still holds buried evidence of the third fort, including the likely location of the original fortification. It is also connected to the legacy of key historical figures like Abiaki (Sam Jones), Captain Mackay Mackall, and others central to the Seminole Wars.
We have submitted a formal application to designate the area as a significant archaeological and historic site. Your support will help fund the certified archaeological testing required for that application to proceed through the city, state, and national levels.
Archaeological fieldwork includes test shovel surveys, trenching, coring, and analysis by licensed professionals. These surveys are required to protect and document the site before anything irreversible occurs.

Hollywood Art and Culture Center Presents One Exhibition, Three Artists - Dennis Scholl, Felice Grodin & Brian Reedy
2025-10-18 - 2026-01-04 | Hollywood Art and Culture Center, 1650 Harrison St, Hollywood, FL, 33020, United States
Hollywood Art and Culture Center, celebrating its 50th anniversary, will feature three new art exhibitions for the fall/winter season. Dennis Scholl: A Day of Four Sunsets and Felice Grodin: Where Do I Go From Here? will be on display from Saturday, October 18, through Sunday, January 4, and Brian Reedy: Gothic Pop Prints will be on display from October 18 through November 2 in the main gallery space. An opening reception will take place on October 18 beginning at 6 p.m.
A Day of Four Sunsets presents a new body of work by Miami-based artist Dennis Scholl, exploring the poetics of space exploration through assemblages of NASA memorabilia. The exhibition takes its title from astronaut John Glenn’s experience of witnessing four sunsets as he orbited Earth in 1962, evoking themes of time, memory, and the sublime vastness of the cosmos. Scholl’s work, rooted in the language of historical artifacts and collective memory, arranges space exploration ephemera into compositions structured by the dodecagon — a recurring motif in his practice that represents cyclical time and cosmic order. Over the past decade, he has meticulously gathered NASA-related materials, including mission patches, declassified documents, photographs, and newspaper clippings, integrating them into intricate assemblages that reframe our understanding of humanity’s relationship with the unknown. Scholl’s work gives us an insight into his keen collector’s eye and his skill at design and storytelling. In Untitled (Viking Orbiter II), photographs of Mars captured using surface imaging are arranged in thoughtful compositions. Visitors will find themselves viewing a piece of history transported back to 1969 with the work Untitled (Man on Moon). This exhibition contains more than 14 works of art that immerse the viewer into the history and collective memory of outer space, the universe, and astronauts. From real space food to sculptures created using space gloves, to viewfinders with images of the universe, this exhibition will fascinate science, history and modern art enthusiasts alike.
Felice Grodin’s architectural training informs her drawings, intricately weaving together elements of imagination, the future, and the past. Where Do I Go From Here? features more than 10 new works, some of which were created during Grodin’s time as a Center 2025 Spring Artist in Residence. With meticulous care and references to ancient civilizations, Grodin renders lines into complex arrangements of circles and curves, creating dynamic three-dimensional forms and exploring the concept of mental boundaries. Her art transports viewers to a psychological realm reminiscent of maps, cities, landscapes, and speculative future worlds. These ink drawings on mylar can sometimes rely on chance, or automatism, liberating not only the creative process, but inviting viewers into the surreal.
Gothic Pop Prints by Miami artist Brian Reedy features more than 10 custom linoleum block prints. The Center commissioned Reedy to create a work about Lizzie Borden inspired by Lizzie the Musical, which will be performed Oct. 18 – Nov. 1 at the Hollywood Central Performing Arts Center. In addition to the Lizzie Borden print, the exhibition features the macabre and spooky iconography of hauntings, oddities, and the afterlife in an expressionist and graphic style. Reedy’s woodblock prints combine his eye for graphic design, the skill of European medieval woodcuts and Japanese woodblock prints into modern pop culture masterpieces. Reedy creates modern works of art using the painstaking process of block printing, the craft of hand carving wood blocks to transfer ink to paper. Brian’s expertise in this art form has provided a unique combination of traditional print making with pop-culture iconography and themes.
A guided tour of the exhibition will take place on Thursday, December 4, at 7 p.m. An artist talk will take place on Saturday, December 13, at 1 p.m. On Saturdays, November 15 and December 20, at 6 p.m., a free curator tour/Downtown Hollywood Art Walk will be conducted.
These exhibits were made possible through support from the City of Hollywood, Broward County Cultural Division, Broward County Board of County Commissioners, Max Chira and Family, State of Florida Division of Arts and Culture, National Endowment for the Arts, Community Foundation Broward, David and Francie Horvitz Family Foundation, Josephine S. Leiser Foundation, Memorial Healthcare System, The Windhover Foundation & Quadracci Family, Kofsky Weinger, PA, and Helen Ingham Foundation.

Just Announced! Meat Loaf’s greatest hits take the stage in Celebrating Meat Loaf – Bat Out of Helloween! Featuring Meat Loaf’s very own band, The Neverland Express, along with powerhouse vocalist and “American Idol” winner Caleb Johnson, this one-of-a-kind performance comes to Galuppi’s on October 18.
Experience Galuppi’s reimagined main stage, now featuring a mini-amphitheater and concert-style general admission seating that brings audiences closer to the action. Nestled along the Pompano Golf Course, this outdoor venue pairs unforgettable views with incredible sound for a one-of-a-kind live music experience. Audiences can upgrade their experience with a VIP add-on ticket which includes expedited VIP entry, access to exclusive lounge areas next to the stage with private and unlimited food, concessions and beverage.
The show is created and produced by Meat Loaf’s longtime record producer/ music director/ guitarist, Paul Crook, and features fellow alumni John Miceli (drums), Randy Flowers (guitar), Lyssa Lynne (female lead/ backing vocals), Danny Miranda (bass) and including Andy Ascolese (piano), Mark Kelt (piano) and Kiley Baxter (featured vocals). This is the only band that was officially endorsed by Meat Loaf.
The band and Caleb perform a thoughtfully curated set list of Meat Loaf’s best loved classics such as “Bat Out of Hell”, “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” and “I Would Do Anything For Love.” As an added second set bonus, the show includes hit songs from the hit film “Rocky Horror Picture Show,” where Meat Loaf starred as the luckless delivery driver, Eddie, and sang the showstopper, “Hot Patootie. Bless My Soul.”
Every General Admission ticket includes a seat plus full access to Galuppi’s food and beverage cash options. Doors open one hour before showtime—come early, grab a bite, and make it a night!
