As Downtown Hollywood continues to grow, welcoming new residents, new developments, and new energy, Art Hollywood arrives as a necessary reminder that culture is not an accessory to growth. It is the foundation. The festival creates a rare and powerful opportunity for local artists to be seen, supported, and celebrat

Live theatre does something that very few experiences can. It brings people into the same room, at the same time, to feel something together. No pause button. No algorithm. No replay. Just human beings sharing breath, silence, laughter, tension, and release. For the past 10 years, New City Players has been quietly and consistently creating those moments in South Florida, and the impact has been profound.
