Cultural Council for Palm Beach County Filming Location

Housed in the historic Robert M. Montgomery, Jr. Building, the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County occupies one of downtown Lake Worth Beach's most recognizable Art Deco landmarks. Originally constructed in the 1940s and thoughtfully restored, the building combines Streamline Moderne architecture with contemporary gallery spaces, creating a distinctive setting for productions seeking authentic arts, cultural, educational, or civic environments.

Inside, the facility features multiple art galleries with rotating exhibitions by Palm Beach County artists, flexible exhibition halls, meeting rooms, classrooms, a visitor information center, and the Roe Green Uniquely Palm Beach Store showcasing work by local artisans. Clean gallery walls, polished floors, controlled lighting, and adaptable exhibition spaces allow productions to create a variety of museum, gallery, educational, or corporate settings.

The building's exterior is defined by classic Art Deco styling with smooth stucco walls, rounded corners, vertical architectural detailing, and a prominent corner entrance along Lake Avenue. Its location places productions within the heart of Lake Worth Beach's historic downtown, surrounded by colorful storefronts, murals, restaurants, and walkable streets that can easily expand a filming footprint beyond the building itself. A mural on the south façade adds another distinctive visual element for productions seeking contemporary public art.

One of the property's unique production advantages is rooftop access that can provide elevated camera positions overlooking downtown Lake Worth Beach. Combined with generous interior gallery spaces and the surrounding streetscape, the property offers filmmakers a variety of creative options within a compact downtown location.

Scout Note
The building's curved Art Deco façade photographs exceptionally well from the intersection of Lake Avenue and L Street, emphasizing its Streamline Moderne architecture while incorporating the surrounding downtown streetscape. Interior galleries offer flexible, controlled environments with neutral finishes that can easily be adapted for exhibitions, meetings, or institutional scenes. The rooftop is one of the property's most valuable production assets, providing elevated camera angles over downtown Lake Worth Beach and potential positions for temporary lighting with prior approval. Productions can also expand into the surrounding downtown district, capturing colorful storefronts, murals, restaurants, and historic architecture within a short walk of the facility.
