So thought this was one of those crazy overpriced art galleries and took a peek inside. The employee or owner was outside on her phone so we took a self guided tour of the exhibits which were mainly wall art and purses by an unknown artist to me named Debilzan. The assuming original art work was colorful and intriguing, one priced high at $11k, but the vibrant purses were shockingly only $700.00. So not sure if the purses were cheap versions of originals with cool art work by DeBilzan painted on them.

But i couldn't have been more wrong. Not that i know much about art, but certain things just grab my attention, and there were several of those in this small gallery. But by far, my most favorite was this painting named "Porcelain Dreams". I attached a photo of it. It is the only piece that I actually contemplated buying. Unfortunately in my house I am going with more classic art look, but when i am done with the main rooms, maybe I can find a place for this one as well

I remembered all of the cool shops on Lake Ave and while walking around I discovered Bali Importers. Bali Importers purchases directly from the artisans and manufacturers and ships in items from Indonesia to sell them in this spacious store. You can see pictures of the Bali artists on their website. In the store I saw clothing, beautiful fans, wood carvings, home decor, musical instruments, stickers, greeting cards, and sunglasses. They had large wooden spiders that make for one of a kind Halloween decorations. My favorite find was all of the colorful and inexpensive costume jewelry. Earring were $3 and bead bracelets were $5. I especially loved the colorful chakra adjustable bracelets. It was so fun to look through all of the beautiful gemstone jewelry. Now that I know about Bali Importers, I'll be back to shop for Christmas presents.

This year was the 6th International Kinetic Art Exhibit and Symposium. The first one took place in…read more2013 when the City of Boynton Beach created a free, public art exhibit dedicated to contemporary artists creating kinetic art. The Kinetic Biennial takes place in the historic 1927 Arts and Cultural Center, around the building, on the lawn in front of City Hall and along the streets of Boynton Beach. The Biennial seeks to show how art and technology are connected with art installations that move. The Kinetic Biennial has art installations, artist and designer talks, student displays, turbine demonstrations, light projections, and choreographed motion performances with community volunteers. Live music, food trucks, artist booths, and other activities are also part of the event. I loved all of the fascinating art especially the Sisyphus table, a fine layer of sand with a two motor robot called the Sisbot that controls a metal ball along a preprogrammed track through sand that creates a beautiful pattern. I also enjoyed the Twirling Blooms, a candy colored installation of metal flowers spun by the wind in front of the Cultural Arts Center. One of my favorite installations was called Move Fast and Break Things. It's a kinetic rock throw. They made you sign a release before you could throw the rocks. It was very therapeutic watching them dent the sheet metal wall. Although the Kinetic Biennial is over for this year you can still find a number of permanent public pieces around Boynton Beach that the city has purchased for their collection.

This year, it was called the 2023 International Kinetic Art Biennial Boynton Beach. This show had indoor/outdoor art installations, some interactive. The area also has 34 sculptures and murals to visit anytime. Kinetic Art is art that has movement using various energy resources. Creativity extends farther than a canvas and usually 3 dimensional. South Florida has many art forms to offer and this is one of my local favorites.

The Cornelia Bailey Cultural Arts Center is located on the campus of South Florida PBS studios in…read moreBoynton Beach. It is supported by the Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation, established in 2007 with the mission of "advancing the arts, education, and innovative initiatives that enrich lives through nature and the sciences." Mrs. Bailey had a lifelong appreciation for classical music, literature, nature, and the arts. She earned a degree in art history from Wellesley College, becoming the third generation in her family to do so. In 1952, she married Glenn Bailey, a WWII Navy veteran. The couple enjoyed success in both business and marriage, and they supported many organizations and programs in Jupiter, Darien, and New York City. After her husband passed away, Cornelia, known as "Kelia" to friends and family, used the arts for healing and companionship. She believed that engaging young people was crucial to preserving the arts, so she supported many youth programs and organizations that brought art and artists into local public-school classrooms. Mrs. Cornelia T. Bailey passed away in July 2017, but she left behind a lasting legacy of making art more accessible to everyone in the community. The recently opened, state-of-the-art Cornelia Bailey Cultural Arts Center is an 8,000-square-foot facility. It is the first cultural arts center in Boynton Beach and was built at a cost of $10 million, with the mission of providing free access to educational and entertaining arts and cultural activities. Currently, it is hosting portions of the "Egyptian Pharaohs" experience across Florida's first immersive dome designed for 360-degree experiences. The cultural arts center also features the Taylor Performance Hall, a tribute to the shared love of music between the late Felicia Taylor and her mother, Mary Hilem Taylor, along with a learning lab, garden, and patio for outdoor entertainment. I recently visited the cultural arts center for "Egyptian Pharaohs," which I enjoyed very much. It is running concurrently with "Titanic: An Immersive Voyage" in another part of the South Florida PBS studios. Parking at the venue is convenient and free. I am looking forward to the upcoming "Colosseum: The Legendary Arena" and "Napoleon Experience: The Immersive Saga." Palm Beach County is fortunate to have this amazing cultural arts center thanks to the generosity of the Cornelia T. Bailey and her foundation.

This shopping plaza is really beautiful, with a charming main street feel accented by lush landscaping. The plaza does a great job serving the needs of the residents of SeaLofts at Boynton Village, who live behind the center, as well as other Boynton Beach residents and visitors. With such a wide variety of businesses, it's easy to get everything you need all in one place.
