West Palm Beach CRA Seeking Restaurant/Lounge Operator for Newly Restored Sunset Lounge in City’s Historic Northwest District

West Palm Beach, FL (April 11, 2022) – The West Palm Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking an experienced restaurant/lounge operator to manage programming and operations for the historic Sunset Lounge venue in the City of West Palm Beach’s burgeoning Northwest District. Interested parties have until May 11, 2022 to submit proposals.

The Sunset Lounge was one of the premier African American entertainment venues in the South during the 1940s and 1950s and featured such notable artists as Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Ike and Tina Turner, Duke Ellington, and Nat King Cole. 

The City, through the CRA, has invested $12.5 million to renovate the Sunset Lounge, which is located at 609 8th Street. The CRA is anticipated to complete its historic restoration of the venue by this winter. The renovated lounge will feature a 150-seat bar, restaurant/supper club, state-of-the-art entertainment venue, and a rooftop bar and patio, among other amenities. The CRA is seeking an operator that will develop and implement programming and events at the entertainment venue and manage food and beverage operations for the restaurant/supper club and bars.

“The renovated Sunset Lounge will honor and celebrate the rich African American and music histories of our city,” said Mayor Keith A. James. “As a future cultural destination, it will add to the vibrancy of the Historic Northwest. With completion of the project now in its final phases, I couldn’t be more excited about the future of the Sunset Lounge and our city.”

The CRA has tapped award-winning and West Palm Beach-based design firm V Starr led by principal and CEO world-renowned tennis player Venus Williams. A full-service commercial and residential design firm, V Starr will lead the interior restoration of the Sunset Lounge. V Starr will look to historic images and artifacts as a reference to maintain the character of the establishment, while incorporating a modern, contemporary flair to match its elevated quality.

When complete, the renovated Sunset Lounge will include the following:

·      A complete rehabilitation of the existing 12,308 square foot building

·      A renovated bar and a new full-service restaurant on the first floor

·      A second floor of ballroom with a large elevated/floating stage and third floor mezzanine

·      The addition of a new, two-story 7,200 sq. ft. building on the east side of Sunset Lounge featuring a roof garden, the restaurant kitchen, restrooms, dressing rooms for performers, lobby, office space, box office, and a broadcast facility

·      A new parking lot will also be added to the rear of the Lounge, with valet in front, along with a gathering plaza, and a rooftop bar and patio

The 2022 edition of the 11th annual GPL tournament and event took place last week in Wellington, FL.

Excited fans and participants gathered at the International Polo Club stadium field to witness and partake in a fun filled day of polo and good times.

There was a four team round robin qualifier to see who would play off for the “Senator’s Cup” trophy.

Tha Baccarat team led by Agustin Arellano and comprised of William Ellis, Alex Rata and Ryan Cronin-Prather came away with a 10-5 victory against the team from Cherry Knoll Farm made up of Lala Laplacette, Tyler Thompson, Adrian Pia and Gus Larrosa.

Witnessing the play for the past 10 years, I can honestly say that the quality of play was at its highest level yet.

Chip McKenney, founder and President of the GPL can be quite proud of what this event has turned into.

In addition, The Palm Beach Sports Commission has named the GPL as the recipient of the “Champion of Equity & Diversity in Sports” award.

ART, MUSIC AND BRAIN HEALTH MERGE FOR AN EVENING UNDER THE STARS ON APRIL 19

Event to Benefit Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens, The Palm Beach Symphony and Mind, Music Movement Foundation 

(West Palm Beach, Fla.) –  The Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens’ (ANSG) tropical oasis and monumental sculptures will be the backdrop for an evening under the stars when art and music unite for a remarkable cause. The Magical Musical Tour: Beatles to Beethoven by the Palm Beach Symphony in partnership with ANSG and Mind, Music Movement Foundation’s (M3f) Voices of Parkinson’s Chorus will take place on Tuesday, April 19 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Gardens. The performance will benefit all three organizations.

Patrick McNamara, president and CEO ofPalm Health Foundation, will introduce the performance that will raise awareness for brain health and the positive affects music and singing have on neurodegenerative diseases.

“We are excited to help merge the power of the local arts community with the power of our growing brain research community in Palm Beach County,” said McNamara. “There is mounting evidence that listening to music can reduce anxiety, manage blood pressure, and increase mental alertness and memory. The arts offer powerful healing qualities for brain health, especially someone living with a neurogenerative disease like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s.”

Guests will listen to music from the Symphony and Voices of Parkinson’s Chorus while enjoying cocktails and hors d’oeuvres on the main lawn of the Gardens.

“Art and music are extremely powerful tools that help with an array of wellness components – especially brain health,” said Frances Fisher, Board Chairwoman for ANSG and Board member for M3f. “Arts therapy is excellent at engaging our minds and that can change the way the brain works for the better. We are honored to be able to bring these wonderful organizations together to collaborate towards a common goal and introduce new audiences to one another’s missions.”  

M3f is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We offer comprehensive integrative programming to address movement, mobility, balance, speech, nutrition and mental well-being in patients with neurological disorders,” said Beth Elgort, MSW and Founder of M3f. “The main objective of the foundation is to instill confidence, strength, wellness and commitment in class participants and their families. The Foundation provides a resource and motivation for living well with neurodegenerative diseases. Our Chorus meets weekly and focuses on the voice and breath to improve volume and dictation, using popular tunes and voice exercises that everyone can enjoy. Studies have shown that incorporating music into the treatment plan for someone with a neurological disease can increase that person’s confidence and overall wellbeing. What we discovered is the camaraderie and friendship is just as important.”

The Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens, Inc. is an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) public charity established in 1977 by the prominent sculptor Ann Weaver Norton (1905-1982). A two-acre urban sanctuary and nationally recognized arboretum, the compound comprises the historic Norton House and Artist Studio, exhibition galleries, monumental sculptures and tropical gardens of rare palms and cycads. The Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens’ mission is to enrich lives with nature, art and history.

Palm Beach Symphony is South Florida’s premier orchestra known for its diverse repertoire and commitment to community. Founded in 1974, this 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts organization adheres to a mission of engaging, educating, and entertaining the greater community of the Palm Beaches through live performances of inspiring orchestral music. The orchestra is celebrated for delivering spirited performances by first-rate musicians and distinguished guest artists. Recognized by The Cultural Council for Palm Beach County with a 2020 Muse Award for Outstanding Community Engagement, Palm Beach Symphony continues to expand its education and community outreach programs with children’s concerts, student coaching sessions and master classes, instrument donations and free public concerts that have reached more than 56,000 students in recent years.  

Tickets to The Magical Musical Tour: Beatles to Beethoven are $125 per person. To purchase tickets or for more information, please call 561-832-5328. For more information on Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens please visit ansg.org.
