Join us for Old Town Untapped, Pompano Beach’s monthly Craft Brew & Arts Festival on the first Friday of every month! Old Town Untapped was originally created to highlight Pompano’s various craft breweries but has since grown to feature many other local vendors, live music by local bands, a DJ, craft beer, food trucks, local artists and much more!
On the first Friday of every month, “Old Town” in Pompano Beach becomes the epicenter for art, food, and music!
Each event features live music, a DJ, craft beer, food trucks, arts & crafts vendors, and gallery tours at Bailey Contemporary Arts (BaCA). Old Town Untapped takes place at NE 1st Street and N. Flagler Avenue at 6 – 10 pm and is free for all ages to attend.

BACA Exhibitions
Build, Break, Bridge (July 24 – Sept. 19)
This exhibition traces Luke Jenkins’ sustained exploration of material as both subject and collaborator. Bringing together works created over the last decade, the show highlights his ongoing experimentation with wood. Over time, Jenkins has developed a practice rooted in experimentation, in which wood is reclaimed, reshaped, and tested through a wide range of techniques, from CNC carving and thermal modification to inventive joinery, sandblasting, and even the interventions of termites. His work continually asks what materials can do, how they change under pressure, and how their transformations might open up new ways of making. Jenkins’ projects move fluidly between the functional and the conceptual.
At times, scraps are reimagined into benches, tables, or wall pieces; elsewhere, termite-eaten planks or weathered ash panels become sculptural surfaces that speak to decay, resilience, and renewal. By embracing both craft and chance, utility and experimentation, Jenkins’ practice unfolds as an ongoing dialogue with his materials—one that reflects the passage of time, the forces of nature, and the possibilities of transformation.
