Prior to that, he was a Hollywood city commissioner for 12 years.
As an elected official, he has focused on environmental issues, early childhood education, transportation, housing, economic opportunity, and the arts. Beam serves on the Children Services Board and has served on Broward
County Children’s Services Council for five years. He co-chairs the Campaign for Grade Level Reading and is on the Executive Committee of the Metropolitan Planning Organization and the South Florida Regional Planning

Flanagan High School in Pembroke Pines.
In the early 1990s, he owned and ran the Downtown Recording Studio in Hollywood. There, he was able to record many of local songwriters’ tunes, as well as his own. He has been published by Peer Southern and had songs
produced by The Cars and heard his music on the radio up in Boston when a song of his reached the Local Top Ten!
Beam grew up in South Florida and now lives in Hollywood with his wife, Shelli Edwards, and is the proud dad of his daughter, Eliza.
Hon. Josh Levy, City of Hollywood Mayor
A Hollywood native and graduate of Hollywood Hills High School, the University of Florida and Nova Southeastern University’s school of law, Mayor Levy was elected to office in 2016 after nearly 20 years of volunteer public service

Just sworn in to his second term in office following his reelection without opposition in 2020, Mayor Levy looks forward to continuing to work with his colleagues on the City Commission to make the City of Hollywood South
Florida’s top city to live, learn, work, invest, and play. "Through conducting ourselves with integrity, professionalism, a spirit of innovation, teamwork and a sense of pride, we will fulfill our purpose and mission – to provide a
thriving community, where quality living is available to all," said Mayor Levy.
Mayor Levy is a big supporter of the arts and thanks the entire community for entrusting him with the honor of serving as the city’s chief elected official through to the year 2024.

Josh also grew up playing the piano, violin and viola. His mother, Joy, is a concert pianist. Josh’s brother and sister have pursued music as their profession, being singer-songwriters traveling around the world sharing their music.

Jules has traveled throughout the country, and the world, for the American Cancer Society, including South Africa, Puerto Rico and more than 20 states, training and motivating thousands of fellow volunteers on how to

An incredible vocalist, fearless artist, and all-around creative powerhouse, Courtney Mickens approaches every performance with unbridled joy and freedom that inspires every listener. Incorporating a keen musical sense with
a modern, sassy sensibility born out of a passion to see women like her embrace themselves and their strength, Courtney’s music bridges soul, jazz, R&B and pop seamlessly to create a style all her own.
As a vocal arranger, she has been a part of major productions and sung in several high-profile projects, but her solo career has taken off with appearances in the RAW Artist series, appearances in New York for the international
house concert series SoFar Sounds, and the release of her most recent single “Bad."
With every performance, Courtney masterfully employs her other-wordly vocal power with emotion and the ability to tell a story with the notes as well as the words. Listeners would be well-served to prepare to be amazed and
transported on a journey when Courtney steps to the stage. For more information and booking, please visit www.courtneymickens.com
Courtney also serves as Associate Director/South Florida, Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship, Florida State University College of Business.

where everyone knows one another.
Prior to moving to Hollywood in 2007, he lived in New York for five years and managed bars up in the northeast. Mark, who has lived in Australia and Greece, is a true adventurer and has traveled extensively.
Mark’s favorite beer? Guinness, of course!

ABOUT THE ART AND CULTURE CENTER/HOLLYWOOD
The Art and Culture Center/Hollywood is a cultural landmark in South Florida for
its contemporary visual arts exhibitions, award-winning arts education programs,
and for the Mediterranean Revival architecture of its circa-1924 building. Through
programs that reflect the highest standards of artistry and diversity, the Center
cultivates creativity and the support of the arts in our community through
education, innovation, and collaboration.
Founded in 1975, the Center is the third oldest arts non-profit in Broward County. It
is one of just nine organizations – out of 350+ cultural entities – to be designated
a Major Cultural Institution by the Broward County Commission as recommended
by the Broward Cultural Council. On average, about 45,000 people attend
exhibitions, performances and community events at a Center venue each year.
The Center galleries present originally curated exhibitions and site activations,
featuring about 200 Florida and national artists annually. Residents and visitors
to our area also enjoy artist receptions, curator tours, artist talks and workshops,
field trips for adult and student groups, fund-raising events, and more. The upstairs
Community Gallery showcases original artworks created by community groups,
and students in K-12 schools and early-learning centers in our region.
The Center makes gallery exhibitions and educational activities accessible to
all populations through Free Arts! Family Days, presented on the third Sunday of
each month. Free Arts! connects families and children through free admission to
the galleries and hands-on activities that encourage education, communication,
cooperation, and fun.
Each summer, the fee-based Summer Arts Camp enrolls more than 200 youth
from 15+ municipalities in Broward and Miami-Dade. With sessions suited for
all skill levels, youth ages 4-18 receive professional instruction in the visual
and performing arts in a fully interactive arts learning environment. Students
develop communication and critical thinking skills as they prepare for a theatrical
performance or exhibition that concludes each camp session.
In 2016, the Center was honored by the Broward Cultural Council for “Exceptional
Service & Outstanding Contributions to Arts Education” in our community. The
Center is a three-time recipient of a Knight Arts Challenge grant from the Knight
Foundation, one of only two Broward cultural organizations to be selected as
frequently for this prestigious grant.
As we continue to serve audiences of all ages and backgrounds, the Center is now
looking ahead to the future expansion of facilities at our city-owned campus at
1650 Harrison Street. In March 2019, residents in the City of Hollywood approved
the Let’s Go Hollywood Ballot Referendum, providing a portion of funding needed
for the construction of new education, performance and gallery spaces.
These new buildings would preserve the historic Kagey Home while enabling the
Center to better serve adults, children and families with programs that foster
creativity and innovation in our community. We welcome this historic opportunity
to work with the City to further develop and finalize site plans with the goal of
creating a cultural destination that serves residents and visitors for decades to
come.
