As a fan of modern art I love to pop into the myriad of art galleries on Atlantic Avenue in Delray…read more While Atlantic Ave has a number of art galleries, Blue Gallery is the largest one I have found. Blue Gallery was founded 14 years ago by owner Rami Rotkopf who grew up in the family art business in Tel Aviv, Israel. In 2017 they expanded into the 5,000 square foot location next door. Inside Blue Gallery is room after room of modern art, ceramics, sculptures, etchings, paintings stretching down Atlantic Ave. Some of the 31 world famous artists represented in the Blue Gallery collection include David Schluss, Red Head, Patrick Pease, David D'Or, Ron Agam, Niso Maman, Avi Ram, Benda, Neil Loeb, and Lior Ron. The gallery often hosts exhibitions. Check their website for dates and times.

Entry is free and parking options are garage and self street parking. This gallery features many unique sculptures and paintings. I've seen items range from $1200k-29,000k. Each time I stop in the wonderful art consultant, Richard Mauseth is there to show me around and better explain specific art work that I try to interpret. This is a great spot to drop in before or after you eat or for a spontaneous activity to do during the day. Thank you Blue Gallery for having public art for everyone!

Diverse selection and great sales staff. I recommend them. 123346789012345668901234567890read more

The Rosenbaum Contemporary has a large private parking lot. The building is a large…read morewarehouse-looking building. There are two entrances opposite one another: one is for the Rosenbaum and the other is for RFA Decor (and something else which I forget). I'm so glad I saw an event listing on the Cultural Council website for the last show at the Rosenbaum Contemporary: Two Generations Roberto Matta and Frederica Matta. This show paired father and daughter, whose artwork had only been exhibited together one other time, over 20 years ago, in their country of Chile. I wish I had seen the listing earlier so that I could share the art show with friends... because it was excellent! Thanks a million to the mega awesome Gabriel who jumped up from his lunch break to enthusiastically give my family and I a private tour. He was passionate, informative and completely dedicated to the artists and the works. I was nearly overwhelmed by all the additional interpretations, background stories and explanations that Gabriel shared, not only about each piece but about the lives of the artists themselves, their intentions and their relationship. I felt so special and privileged to see the artworks in such a heightened, enhanced way; I still have many of the images seared into my brain. Thanks you, Gabriel! When I first walked up to the building, I found both entrances to the Contemporary blocked by metal chains with signs directing me to the 'other entrance.' I found this frustrating and vague, but I complied and walked a few steps to the adjoining entrance to RFA Decor. Unfortunately, when I entered, the woman who came up to help me told me that the show was probably closed for the lunch hour. I was pretty upset, as I had checked both Yelp and the homepage to make sure that the Rosenbaum would be open when we were able to finally make it there. It wasn't closed though; the only dedicated Contemporary employee was taking his lunch break and letting potential visitors find their way through from next door. My experience rapidly went from a 1 to a 5.

We happened on this art center a bit by accident as I saw a notice about it in the shiny sheet…read morewhile visiting palm beach. So we made the detour to this historic Art Deco building to see what their gallery had to offer. The building was a WPA project during the depression. It was built in 1939. After many years as a military building, and some years in disrepair, it became an arts school in the the late 80's. It's gone through renovations and expansions. It is now an arts education school with many classes for all ages and in the summer a lot of workshops, etc., for kids from young ages through teens. Attached to the school was a small one room art gallery with an exhibit highlighting mainly clay pieces done by students and teachers. Each ceramic piece was marked with a price and displayed the name (s) of the artist and the teacher's name. Exhibitions change periodically. There was no charge to enter, but donations are accepted. We couldn't see the other (creative) studios as entry was restricted. More interesting to me was their sculpture garden outside with a few appealing items and the manicured grounds that faced the street. They've hosted an art festival for the last few years (in December) outside on these grounds.

My daughter (13) signed up for a teen art camp with the Armory. She came home after the first day…read morefeeling very disappointed as it did not seem there was enough planned for them. For a jewelry making task, they were given wire, string, and seashells, and were simply told to wrap wire around the shells tie it to the string for a necklace. They were shown an example, but never shown how to do it, and lacked tools. They spent a good bit of time on their phones when they had nothing to do, and at one point, another child in the group had to ask if they could all have some beads to string because they literally weren't doing anything. Needless to say, I called the director, but was fed a bunch of excuses such as "it won't be the same as last year, because we don't have that same studio to use." Yet, she assured me she would make sure there were more things for them to do the next day. I told my daughter to try it out again on Tuesday, but to call me at lunch if it felt as underwhelming as the previous day. Sure enough, I received the phone call. In their jewelry class, they were learning how to make seed bead flowers... but here is the catch... she told them to look up the method on their phones to learn!!! Geez, I could do that at home for a lot cheaper than I paid for this camp! I went and picked my daughter up where I was 'greeted' by the camp director (Jeanie, not sure on spelling?) telling me that it was my fault that one of the camp instructors quit because of my concerned phone call, and now she only has one instructor, and it's all because of me. Went on to say that he said he was tired of dealing with armory parents like myself. To me, this is just an omission of guilt, I guess I'm not the only parent with concerns??? She continued on with her blame rampage saying that my daughter brought a bad attitude to camp with her, and was refusing to do things. That's when I demanded to speak with the teacher who confirmed what I already knew, my daughter was not negative, and did participate in the activities (as poorly planned out as they were for a group of 13-17 year olds). I've given the Armory many chances, but they just can't seem to get it together. The last camp she attended there a few summers ago, she came home upset with how mean she saw the director treating instructors and helpers... interestingly enough that director was fired by week's end. On top of that, the last 2 classes we signed her up for were cancelled due to another instructor quitting and lack of enrollment. It's pretty sad, my daughter loves art and we have heard this place was so wonderful back in its prime.

I called one last time and she answered the phone very unprofessionally. She didnt say the name of her company, just hello. How am I supposed to know if this is a business or I have the wrong number? So I ask about how to register for the class that I bought a Groupon for, she proceeds to tell me that the class doesn't exist until October. Meanwhile my Groupon expires November 7th. She tells me she is the owner of the business and just let her know and the expired Groupon will be honored. I'm sorry, but you have proven to not be reliable, professional or to have common courtesy. Why on earth would someone sale something that doesnt even exist?
