The Benzaiten Center for Creative Arts is located in the Historic FEC Train Depot in downtown Lake Worth. In the Lake Worth Arts District, this 14,500 square foot permanent arts center is dedicated to living & working artists as well as to the community. The Center brings art to life, immersing the public in arts production and its creative processes, while providing direct interaction with artists from around the world. Benzaiten supports the creation of significant new works of art, collaboration between peers across multiple media and instruction from master to emerging artists. The Center will have three main facilities: The Glassworks Studio is a full service 4,500 square foot glass blowing and glass-working studio and has three separate working shops.The Gallery and Gift Shop has over 2,000 square feet of gallery space featuring unique items for sale including artists' works who use Benzaiten's studios to produce their fine art.The Benzaiten Metal Works Studio, is an 6,000 square foot facility that will provide a metal foundry that can pour 69,000 pounds of bronze per year. The Benzaiten Center for Creative Arts has a protected viewing area with bench seating for visitors and demonstrations. I visited with our local photography club to see artisans creating beautiful fine art sculptures, blowing glass and to peruse the shop. We watched an informative glassblowing presentation, saw a lot of beautiful unique art and walked around the extensive gift shop.

All artwork is for sale at reasonable prices

Today was a free entry we've been here before for a $15 entry fee. Still worth every penny of it every time we come here.

Benzaiten Center for Creative Arts is a really neat art experience. They have art gallery, classes, events, and so much more. I had no idea this place existed until recently. My nephew was attending a bar mitzvah and the hosts did it at this center. His friend is really into art so it gave the guests a hands on experience in a cool atmosphere. I had to drop him off at this center but I ended up staying for a bit to look at the gallery part and check out the class they had going for the kids. This center is a great place to plan a corporate or team building activity. I totally would like to attend their glass blowing, flame working or fusing classes. They do facility rentals for big events etc. Their website showcased their contributions to the community. They do scholarships/funds for kids and teens. Really appreciate their art influence for the local community of Palm Beach.~

Looking for something fun and creative to do besides painting more pictures when you have no more wall space? Try Glass Art Class. Bought a Groupon when they had a sale. You get a private instructor. No Glass Blowing due to Covid, but you get to create a glass keeper. The choices are: flower, starfish or paperweights. Well worth the time and money, like on island of Murano, but in Lake Worth. Great gift idea for a special occasion.

Almost done with my project

Rhian and I went this morning at 10 for glass blowing and we had so much fun!!! I wish someone told me about this place sooner I could go every week it is such a Blast, especially for Josh that was our guide. We highly recommend him and will recommend Josh when we go back. He was friendly and explained everything and our projects came out beautifully and perfect!!! Thank you so much Josh can't wait to come back soon!!

Very impressive museum, gift shop, and workshop for artists in glass. Horrible, difficult to access location. Well worth the effort!

The Artwork of Reuben Hale is an incredible experience! Both locals and tourists will enjoy touring…read morethe house and gardens, and hearing stories from the director, Irma Hale (Reuben's daughter). The museum is impressive on many levels: the incredible art of Reuben Hale, in many media; the stunning architecture of the home and its renovations and additions by the Hale family; and the history of Palm Beach County neighborhoods and art scene in the last half of the 20th century. Do yourself a favor and book a tour at this most precious of gems in Palm Beach County!

From the owner: Located in the El Cid Historic neighborhood of West Palm Beach, The Artwork of Reuben Hale is a…read morehistoric house museum and sculpture garden celebrating the work of local artist Reuben Hale (1927-2018). Hale's sculptures grace the garden where he placed them, while inside, his diverse works – sculptures, paintings, drawings, holograms, and photographs and more – fill every room. Tours highlight Hale's art, custom furniture, and home modifications along with stories of his life, career and legacy as artist, educator and civic leader. Morning or afternoon tours may be scheduled by emailing artwork@reubenhale.com or phoning (561) 833-6522. Docents can accommodate groups of up to 10 people. Tours typically last between one and two hours. The garden is wheelchair accessible, but the house is not, due to its historic nature.
