Pompano Beach Cultural Center Grand Opening a Huge Success

The official ribbon cutting ceremony and grand opening for the Pompano Beach Cultural Center was amazing! The iconic venue opened to an overflow crowd in May. Guests were treated to a live painting performance as well as an array of music and dance performances throughout the premises. To top it all off, the world premiere Cuban art exhibit, Shipwrecked of Reason: Half a Century in Cuban Art was on display.

Thanks to the determination and foresight of City and County Commissioners, Pompano Beach has a long anticipated state-of-the-art facility which serves as a beacon for culture and learning. The two-story structure, which spans 47,000 square feet, encompass the Cultural Center, which includes an art gallery, digital media arts center and a flexible space for performances/special events and the new Broward County Library which will be opening this summer. This partnership that was forged between the City, County and State will bring the two projects into one hi-tech facility is a shining example of how intergovernmental collaboration can work for everyone’s benefit.

“My hope is that the Center fills a niche that no one else can offer; providing educational opportunities with the media center; providing opportunities for new and upcoming artists to display their talents; offering a venue for weddings, private corporate events; and showcasing our all-around and well-rounded City as one of the finest in America,” said Mayor Lamar Fisher.
