The artwork is not just on the walls but everywhere you look here in downtown Hollywood. Today I had the good fortune of running into one of the artists. She was creating art on the sidewalk. We have some talented artists displaying beautiful work here in our downtown. The city of Hollywood Florida once a month holds an event called Artwalk. It is a great opportunity to learn more about the artists, local restaurants, and inspirations behind all these works of art.

If you thought Wynwood was the only place to go to see large scale murals you might be surprised to see them popping up everywhere. While Wynwood is still the first place in the South Florida that comes to mind when thinking of large wall murals on building walls, many cities are adding murals to their cityscapes. Hollywood has these 25 beauties throughout a nine-block area between U.S. 1 and Dixie Highway and Tyler and Van Buren streets in Hollywood. Hollywood started their mural project in 2012. Artists are selected by the Hollywood Redevelopment Agency and must agree to keep their murals free from politics and nudity. Artists who have participated in the program include local, national, and internationally recognized artists such as Tatiana Suarez, Rone, The London Police, Ernesto Maranje, Logan Hicks and Kenny Scharf. On the third Saturday of the month, Hollywood offers a free one hour walking tour of the murals. Tours meet at 6 PM at Anniversary Park. If you can't make the tour, you can download a mural map from the city website and do your own self guided tour. While I walked around I saw people using the murals for their photoshoots. The art adds so much interest and color to the downtown. My favorite murals are the sea turtle by artist Enesto Maranje and the show stopping flamingo covered building created by artist Key Detail in 2018. Finding the murals is fun and free activity. Come out and get some fresh air and exercise while discovering your own favorite work of art.

I really liked the variety of murals in downtown Hollywood. So many cities have the blight of graffitti, but these murals were thoughtful and well done. We parked down on Van Buren so we could take a back and forth walk from west (where the tracks are) the east in a zig zag fashion to enjoy viewing most of the murals. You really need to walk the area as driving doesn't give you time to enjoy each individual mural. See the weblink so you know the location of all the murals. I wish San Antonio would do something like this. It's a great walking tour. There are a lot of small restaurants and coffee shops along the way to enjoy as well.

I saw this area when I was researching online. I printed out a map to see where the murals are but it's also available online to help you locate them. It's close to art park and I wanted to see that too. It's along Hollywood boulevard so as you walk around looking at restaurants down the alleys and side streets are murals you can view. Most of the murals are done well and interesting. Looks like took a lot of planning and work. Gives the area more character. Nice area to spend a few hours on a afternoon exploring.

I have been eagerly awaiting the installation of this public art piece and it is finally here. This…read morelarge, 8,000 pound bronze sea turtle statue was created for Dania Beach by environmental artist and conservationist Robert Wyland who was born in 1956 in Detroit, Michigan. He is most well known for his large outdoor murals, a series of 100 Whaling Walls throughout the country and world to spotlight the fragile ocean ecosystem. J. Milton and Associates as part of the City of Dania Beach's public art program, commissioned Wyland to create a sculpture of a Florida green sea turtle and the colorful reef fish and coral that are part of Florida's living reef. The sculpture was built over eight months and then shipped to Dania Beach. This turtle sculpture is part of Wyland's global public art project, which focuses on representations of marine life. Other Wyland pieces from this project are in Beijing, China and Hoonah, Alaska. This green turtle is swimming in front of Sea View Luxury Rentals. The pictures do not do this beautiful piece justice. I have been a long time Wyland fan and have visited several of the Whaling Walls. I love how this sculpture brings awareness to green sea turtles. They are the largest of the hard shelled turtles and are unique because they are herbivores with a diet consisting of sea grass and algae. Green turtles are found around the world but their numbers have declined as they have been used for their meat and eggs. They have also lost nesting habitat due to coastal development. They are listed as an endangered species.

Major William Lauderdale and the Seminole War

Major William Lauderdale and the Seminole War

Major Lauderdale arrived in the area that is now Ft. Lauderdale on March 5, 1838 at the request of…read morehis friend and neighbor in Tennessee, President Andrew Jackson. Jackson wanted Lauderdale to remove members of the Seminole tribe who had been driven south from their original territory of Georgia. He hoped to make Florida safer for settlers. Upon arrival Lauderdale set up a military post, named Fort Lauderdale, on the banks of New River at Southwest Ninth Avenue. The City of Ft. Lauderdale was founded 57 years later in 1895. At the entrance to the Forest Ridge Subdivision in Davie is this 9 foot tall, bronze statue of Major William Lauderdale, namesake of the City of Ft. Lauderdale. He rides astride his horse at the spot where Seminoles once lived on the ridge during the last century. It was the site for sacred ceremonies, weddings, and naming newborns. It was also where Lauderdale fought a skirmish against the Seminole led by Seminole chief Sam Jones. The soldiers drove 50 to 100 Indian warriors and their women and children off the island but they where not able to capture them. Thirteen days after the skirmish, Lauderdale left Florida in poor health. He died on the way back to Tennessee on May 11th. The Seminole were able to hide out and they were the only tribe never to sign a peace treaty with the US Government. The statue was created in 1988 by sculptor Luis Montoya who has a studio in West Palm Beach. It was commissioned by Forest Ridge developer Charles Palmer, who was a member of Fort Lauderdale's Downtown Development Authority at the time. The Forest Ridge development sits on Pine Island Ridge, once an island that Major Lauderdale and his Tennessee Volunteers helped to take from the Seminoles during the Second Seminole War in 1838. Since no likeness of Major Lauderdale exists, Montoya used the Major's great- great-grandson, also named William Lauderdale as a model. You can reach this statue from the street but I came upon it from the trail that starts in Tree Top Park and goes through Pine Island Ridge Preserve. At the start of the trail in the park is the Sam Jones Memorial Sculpture, a tribute to the Seminole medicine man who led his people to freedom from Major Lauderdale and the U.S. Army.
