A Lot Is Happening In Hollywood

Join us on Friday, June 18th at 10 a.m. to celebrate the completion of the community-led project to create the Sheridan Street wall mural. The dedication ceremony will be held at the 2500 Block of N. 28th Avenue, just east of the I-95 northbound ramp at Sheridan Street.

Back in February 2016, Hollywood resident Bettina August began a community effort to “paint the ugly wall” that runs along the north side of Sheridan Street just east of I-95, functioning as a sound barrier. After a several year fundraising effort, a call to artists and working through all of the logistical matters, Artist Cat Ferraz and her partner Nick Rother were selected to paint a 460-foot ocean-themed mural on the “ugly wall.” The finished product has turned this spot into a welcoming passage which is one of the main access points to the City of Hollywood with more than 40,000 cars passing this location every day.

The Dedication will include:
• Remarks from City officials
• Recognition of the Volunteer Project Coordinator, Bettina August
• Recognition of Project Sponsor Pinnacle Art in Public Places Program, Louis Wolfson III, Partner
• Reflections from Mural Artist Cat Ferraz

The public is invited to attend the dedication ceremony to celebrate the completion of the community-led project.
