A Dramatic Future Awaits: The Art and Culture Center/Hollywood Will Expand July 28, 2022 Share As part of the City of Hollywood's vision to increase arts programming in the city, the Art and Culture Center/Hollywood will expand its current Kagey Home facility with the construction of a new, nearly 5,000-square-foot arts education wing that will be distinct and contemporary. The new wing will provide visual arts and multimedia studio classrooms, along with a multi-purpose room for dance, drama, artist talks, film screenings, meeting space and more. This building will be a visual marquee in Downtown Hollywood drawing residents and visitors in our region to the Center. Additionally, the new education building incorporates an outdoor courtyard to enhance the visitor experience. The dramatic design will merge with the existing two-story, 1924 Mediterranean Revival architecture of the Kagey Home, which houses the Center’s Galleries and Administrative Offices. When completed, the new wing, with its gleaming façade and swooping rooftop, will provide the Center and the City with a unique architectural distinction in Broward County of having adjoining, functional spaces built about 100 years apart. The Home of the Art and Culture Center/Hollywood The Art and Culture Center/Hollywood is located in the former home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Kagey, a founding family in Hollywood. The home was built in 1924 and is a beautiful example of Mediterranean Revival architecture. It is one of Hollywood’s first show-place homes and was completed a year before the City of Hollywood was incorporated. Jack Kagey was the Sales Manager of Joseph W. Young’s Hollywood Land and Water Company. He earned the seed money to build the home by winning a contest held by Young for his salesmen during the height of the 1920’s Real Estate Boom. The Kageys were in the home for just two years when, in September 1926, the structure withstood a devastating hurricane that ended the land boom. The home continued to be used as a private residence until 1960, when it was converted into a funeral home and doubled in size to 12,000 square feet. The expansion included the addition of a chapel along the east side, which later became the Center’s Main Gallery. Many of the home’s original features from the 1920’s have been retained, such as the glass doorknobs, wrought-iron railings, tiles on the second-floor balcony, wood moldings, floors and arches. In January of 1990, the property was purchased by the City of Hollywood to become the new home of the Art and Culture Center/Hollywood, which was previously located in a building on Hollywood Beach. The Mansion was renovated with Private and Historical Grant monies and opened on February 2nd, 1992. About the Center The Center was founded in 1975 as the only Visual Arts Non-Profit Organization in south Broward County, operating out of a small community space on Hollywood Beach. The Center now manages visual arts galleries in the renovated Kagey Home built in 1924, the Arts School that is adjacent to the main facility and a 500-seat theater in Hollywood’s burgeoning Downtown. The Center is the third oldest Arts Non-Profit in Broward County and the Kagey Home is a cultural landmark for the Mediterranean Revival architecture of its circa-1924 building. In March 2019, the Center was designated for $2.5 Million in funds from the City of Hollywood towards its Arts Ignite! building initiative, as part of a General Obligation Bond referendum that was approved by Hollywood voters. These funds have been allocated toward the expansion of Center facilities with construction of a new Arts Education Building that will adjoin the Kagey Home. When completed, as early as 2023. The Center is a regional leader among South Florida arts institutions in presenting originally curated visual-arts exhibitions by national and local artists and standards-based, multi-disciplinary arts education programs for the youth. The Center impacts about 40,000 people each year through its programs and facilities. Contemporary artists exhibit in four ground-floor gallery spaces while the upstairs Community Gallery presents exhibitions by K-12 students who study under some of the most dedicated arts teachers in the region. Each year, 125+ artists representing a vast range of backgrounds and artistic media are exhibited in our galleries. We are a two-time host organization for the South Florida Cultural Consortium Fellowship Program (2011 and 2017). Through its programs and facilities, the Center fosters a creative environment where new and challenging work can flourish through exhibitions and art-making activities that reflect the highest standards of artistry and diversity.

Sheet Pan Cajun Shrimp Fajitas with Bell Pepper, Onion and Spicy Ranch Recipe courtesy of Albertsons Total time: 30 minutes Servings: 4 • 2 Green Bell Peppers • 2 Yellow Bell Peppers • 1 Lime • 1 Medium Red Onion • 2 Tablespoons of Extra-Virgin Olive Oil • 1 1/2 Pounds of Raw, Peeled Shrimp, Fresh or Frozen • 5 Teaspoons of Cajun Seasoning, divided • 1 Teaspoon of Salt • 1/2 Cup of Ranch Dressing • 12 Small Flour Tortillas Preheat the oven to 450 F. Wash and dry the Green Bell Peppers, the Yellow Bell Peppers and the Lime. Trim, seed and slice the Bell Peppers lengthwise into thin strips; transfer them to a large baking sheet. Peel, halve and slice the Onion lengthwise into thin pieces; add them to a baking sheet with Bell Peppers. Drizzle the Veggies with the Oil, toss to combine and spread in an even layer. Bake until the Veggies have softened slightly, about 5 minutes. If using Frozen Shrimp, place them in a colander and run them under cold water to thaw them slightly. Place the Shrimp on a clean towel or paper towels and pat dry. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Arrange the Shrimp over the Veggies then sprinkle them with 4 Teaspoons of Cajun Seasoning and Salt; toss to combine and spread in an even layer. Bake until the Veggies are tender and Shrimp are cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Remove them from the oven. Cut the Lime into wedges. In a small bowl, stir the Ranch Dressing and the remaining Cajun Seasoning. Warm the Tortillas in a skillet, oven or microwave, if desired. Divide the Tortillas between plates and fill them with the Shrimp and the Veggies; drizzle them with the Spicy Ranch and serve them with a squeeze of Lime. Cheese Tortellini and Cauliflower with Creamy Spinach Marinara Recipe courtesy of Albertsons Total time: 20 minutes Servings: 4 • 2 - 10 Ounce Bags of Cauliflower Florets • 18 Ounces of Cheese Tortellini, Fresh or Frozen • 1/2 Tablespoon of Salt • 1 - 24 Ounce Jar of Marinara Sauce • 8 Fluid Ounces of Heavy Whipping Cream • 1/2 Teaspoon of Basil, dried • 1/4 Teaspoon of Black Pepper • 2 - 5 Ounces Packages of Baby Spinach Fill a large pot halfway with hot water, cover it and bring it to a boil. Uncover it then add the Cauliflower, the Tortellini and the Salt; stir for a few seconds. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 5 minutes, or cook according to the package’s instructions. In a separate large pot over medium heat, stir the Marinara Sauce, the Cream, the Basil and the Black Pepper to combine and bring the Marinara Sauce to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook it until it is slightly thickened, 3-4 minutes. Wash and dry the Spinach. When the Marinara Sauce has thickened, add the Spinach to the pot in handfuls, waiting for the Spinach to wilt slightly before adding the next handful. Remove from the heat and cover it to keep it warm. When the Cauliflower and the Tortellini are done, drain and add to the pot with the Creamy Marinara Sauce; stir to combine. To serve, divide the Pasta between plates or bowls. Garlic-Parmesan Chicken Tenders with Green Beans and Honey Mustard Dip Recipe courtesy of Albertsons Total time: 30 minutes Servings: 4 • 2 Tablespoons of Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, divided • 1/4 Cup of Mayonnaise • 1 Teaspoon of Garlic Powder • 1 Teaspoon of Salt, divided • 2/3 Cup of Parmesan Cheese, shredded • 1/2 Cup of Panko Breadcrumbs • 1/2 Teaspoon of Paprika • 1 1/2 Pounds of Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts • 1 1/2 Pounds of Green Beans • 1/2 Cup of Honey Mustard Dressing Preheat the oven to 450 F. Coat a baking sheet with 2 Teaspoons of Oil. In a medium bowl, stir the Mayo, the Garlic Powder and a 1/2 Teaspoon of Salt to combine. In a separate medium bowl, stir the Parmesan, the Breadcrumbs and the Paprika to combine. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towels and slice into 3/4-inch Chicken Tenders. Add to a bowl with the Mayo Mixture and toss to coat. Working in batches, dredge the Chicken Tenders in the Breadcrumb Coating, pressing to adhere. Transfer to a baking sheet. Bake them until the Chicken Tenders start to turn golden, about 10 minutes. On a clean cutting board, wash, dry and trim the Green Beans and Set them aside. When the chicken is golden, flip and bake it until it is cooked through for 6-8 minutes and remove it from the oven. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining Oil and swirl it to coat the bottom. Add the Green Beans and the remaining Salt; cook, stirring it occasionally, until it is tender-crisp for 4-5 minutes and remove it from the heat. Divide the Chicken Tenders and the Green Beans between the plates. Serve them with the Dressing for dipping.
