    Absolutely lovely facility. It's clearly part of an integrated campus design, with the city's city…read morehall across the street and the library on the ground floor which displays the well-designed land use adjacencies. The center itself allows ample light to flow through and the lobby space plenty of space to socialize pre- and post-show. The auditorium space was extremely comfortable, had plenty of room to move within the rows, and felt connected with the performance I saw (well done to the New Canon Chamber Collective for the Remember the Times show), with the sound and lighting adding to the experience. The staff deserves commendations (and raises), certainly. In summary, if you're attending a performance here, you're in for splendid time!

I think in many states this would be a premier spot for jazz, but especially in South Florida. We are short on jazz options, but not if you can make it to Pompano. It's every 2nd Thursday of the month. The fella who puts it to gether is a mainstay. He's a increible on guitar. the drums is a regular as well, very good. And they and different line ups dependign on the month and who they have that set. We have heard many different mixes. This last week when we caught the show, there was a new guy that was great on bass. There was also a fella who played sax, and really had some nice solos on clarinet. I should add before and after the show you can check out the galleries and art that's displayed there. Upstairs there are artists in residence that you can watch them at their craft as well. It's a great spot to hear music and art, all in one.

She went back to her work and looked put off by the interruption . This was advertised on the library web site . We went upstairs to the reference and asked again this time it was a kind gentleman who did the search and said that grant finished . Too bad I did not know about this until afterwards or I would haves used it . The library was having an art show of Bad ass women musicians photography by Deise Jefinny .

    I love finding public art that culturally enriches the community. I discovered this bronze…read moresculpture in front of the E. Pat Larkins Community Center during a tag sale. Family Roots is by artist George Gadson. Interesting fact about George Gadson is that he is self taught. His artwork is inspired by spirituality and values. His public art works seek to highlight the forgotten history in communities and to capture civic memories. Gadson also created the Kathleen Cooper Wright statue in front of the KC Wright Broward County School Board administrative offices along with numerous other art works displayed throughout South Florida in multiple locations including the African American Research Library and Cultural Center, the City of Lauderhill, the City of Tamarac, the Broward County and the public commissions in Miami-Dade and in Palm Beach County. For Family Roots, Gadson met with the Northwest Pompano Community for input in the design. The sculpture was installed in 2007 and features a family embracing on top of a granite pedestal engraved with the name of community heroes. In 2022 the City of Pompano Beach had the sculpture restored. About this work Gadson has said "This sculpture was created to empower the community with knowledge of their culture and heritage. A community without knowledge of their history is like a tree without roots." I fully endorse that sentiment and I love the message of family and community that is represented in this piece.

    We had visited the E. Pat Larkins Community Center recently and noticed this prominent sculpture…read moreright outside the front entrance. Artist George Gadson did this bronze on commission for the City of Pompano Beach to be placed here. It was first installed in 2007. The theme "family roots" was to pay tribute to the "preservation of family heritage". In 2022, the statue was restored (cleaned and polished, etc.) along with the engraved names on the plaque on the pedestal below. The names listed represent the unsung heroes in the local community. If you're in the area, stop by to see this sculpture. You can feel the love between the parents and their children as portrayed. It's a fitting tribute.

Pompano Beach was incorporated in 1908. You can find the building for the historical society in Founders Park. The Historical Society holds many events in the city. I recently took their historical bus tour that began in the Kester Cottages in Founders Park and for two hours visited historical buildings in the city including the Bailey Hotel which now houses the BaCA Art Center in downtown, the Ali Building, the Sample McDougald House, and the Hillsboro Lighthouse Museum. Tours are $15 and the next one is March 9th. The Historical Society also runs the Pompano Green Market Saturday mornings across from City Hall. The market hearkens back to Pompano's roots as a farming community. Another event they are holding is the annual progressive dinner on February 20th which hosts a three course meal at three different historic sites in the city. The historical society also hosts lectures and public programs. They are currently seeking donations to refurbish the 1930's mule plow that resides in front of the Kester cottages. With so many great events the Historical Society truly offers something for everyone. You can sign up to volunteer, donate money, or see their schedule of events on their website.

    Mariachi is a type of traditional Mexican folk music believed to have originated in Western Mexico…read more From different regions of Mexico emerged a multicultural sound. During colonial times from the early 16th century through the mid-19th century, the music of Mexico's indigenous nations were influenced by the musical styles of Spanish colonists and the African slave population to form the music now called Mariachi. After the end of the Mexican revolution in the 1920's, the government began promoting Mexican folk music as a source of national pride. It is around this time that the Mariachi costumes became elaborate taking inspiration from Jalisco charros, Mexican ranchers and cowboys. By the middle of the 20th century, mariachi music had made its way into US culture, first in California, then throughout the southwest, and eventually throughout the nation. Mariachi has now become one of the most recognizable Latin music types. Carrying the Mariachi torch in South Florida is the Mariachi Show Mexicanisimo. This musical group can be hired to perform at your private events including birthdays, weddings, and other celebrations. I was able to watch them perform at a friends milestone birthday celebration. The singers had great harmony and they can sing in both Spanish and English. They offer 30 and 50 minute performances. This group was very professional and their music and vocals was enjoyed by everyone at the party. Mariachi Show Mexicanisimo is a beautiful representation of Mexican culture.
