What an amazing art show…read more A friend who knows how much I love museums and art told me about Art Wynwood and Art Miami last year when we visited Florida last year. When I realized that we would be in South Florida the weekend of the Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary, I knew that it would be a great place to explore. Held in the Palm Beach Convention Center, the Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary features almost one hundred galleries and art dealers from around the world. Interesting to see art galleries from Miami and Florida, Barcelona, London, Tel Aviv, Saint Paul de Vence, New York, Paris, Palo Alto, New Orleans and of course, Palm Beach. Masterworks Fine Art from Palo Alto, California, brought modern masters. Loved seeing lithographs from Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro. They also had pieces from Alex Katz and Roy Lichtenstein. Corridor Contemporary has galleries in Philadelphia and Tel Aviv. Interesting to see Israeli and international artists like Yigal Ozeri and Binsky. Love the bright and bold colors in Binsky's works. Fun also to see Alex Katz after seeing Katz at the Guggenheim earlier this year. Loved the whimsy at the Carousel Fine Art booth. Located in Saint-Tropez, Miami and Palm Beach, the colors were very evocative of a beautiful day enjoying sun and white sand. Interesting also to see so many mixed media pieces like a variation of Warhol's iconic Campbell's Soup, a Mona Lisa made with layers of fabric and a woman in a blue hat made of buttons. Loved the Carving through Color by 2Wild which incorporated paper into the piece. So many beautiful and interesting pieces. Would definitely recommend this art show in Palm Beach.

I recently attended an evening performance at Seabreeze Amphitheater located in Carlin Park. You…read morecan park on the amphitheater side or there is overflow parking across the street on the beach side. This outdoor amphitheater has a 36' by 35' stage and the venue can accommodate up to 2,000 people. The lawn is on a hill that sloped down to the stage. Attendees were encouraged to being their own chairs and blankets for seating. The Seabreeze Amphitheater is the home of the summer performance of the Palm Beach Shakespeare Festival, Shakespeare by the Sea. They are celebrating their 35th anniversary. This year's performance is The Winter's Tale. The festival is held over two weekends and there is one more performance tomorrow night at 8. Other performances that take place at this venue throughout the year include live bands, movies, and community fund raisers. The Palm Beach Shakespeare Company always does a great job and there was an amazing turnout this evening. Both the park and amphitheater are meticulously maintained. If there is a small drawback, the amphitheater is next to a body of water so it is a little buggy and of course you are at the mercy of the weather.

I can't think of a more perfect place than this to honor the great civil right leader Martin Luther…read moreKing, Jr. today and every day. Located in Currie Park this beautiful memorial along the Lake Worth Lagoon was created in 2004. This is the largest memorial to Dr. King in Florida and one of the largest in the south. The center of the memorial is a bronze bust of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holding a bible. The sculpture was created by Steven Dickey from Tampa, Florida. Behind the bust flags wave over the waterfront. The granite wall behind Dr. King used to have cascading water but it's been turned off. The back side of the monument contains highlights from Dr. Kings speeches and key moments in his life. The placements of the memorial along the waterfront is stunning. This is a very moving tribute to a man who espoused peaceful protests and non violence. A message that bears remembrance today.

I like discovering new things and to my surprise, as I was driving along N. Flagler Dr., I stumbled…read moreupon this beauty!! The ocean serves up a side dish of a scenic backdrop, from the front it looks like it is just a wall paying homage to Dr. King, however if you walk around the back, not only are his inspiring words scrawled along the back wall but you can also find a timeline of his life!!! If you pay close attention to the structures on the top of the wall, it looks like pyramids lined up from left to right. Not as massive and awe inspiring as the monument located in DC however it still packs the same dream filled promise of hope. The statue of King stands alone in front of a marble like wall as if to make him stand out and grab your attention and make you take a closer look. As you stand and stare at King staring/looking at the Holy Bible, if he were reading aloud to in that very moment, what chapter and verse would you hear? Possible his favorite scripture or the scripture that he felt would be the best to inspire a long standing faith in others. The landmark itself is free as it is free standing right before you approach the entrance to Currie Park. Street parking is availible as well as spaces at Currie Park and you can walk down the sidewalk close tot the water.

Love that this place is a bit of a hidden gem, and the way the gallery staff utilizes the space for art display is really one-of-a-kind. They are also extremely knowledgeable on their works, and are eager to give patrons a tour of the space. We loved it! I can't wait to come back for the newest exhibit!

I got to see an exciting mix of old favorites (Warhol) and was introduced to new favorites (Brian Kenny) while always being welcomed to learn more about the piece and the artist. Visiting TW is the most fun I've had in 2021 and "DEVOUT UNORTHODOX" is a must see! Make it out there before February 1st- and again after as I'm sure their next exhibits will only continue to impress. Thanks to the team, can't wait to visit again soon!

Nothing says Christmas time in Florida like a holiday boat parade. While there are many…read moreintracoastal boat parades, this one is a little different because it takes place on a lake. Lake Osborne is a 378 acre lake that was once part of a series of freshwater lakes that were on the western slope of the coastal ridge in Palm Beach County. Urban development around the lake has greatly impacted the size of the lake and its water quality through the years. It serves as an important resource for Palm Beach County for storing stormwater and as a water supply reservoir. It is also used for recreation including boating and fishing. The Lake Osborne Holiday Boat Parade is an annual tradition created by Captain Scott, founder of the Osborne Yacht Club, This is the 11th year of the parade. It takes place from 7 to 8 PM. The parade starts at The Hive Tiki Bar and Restaurant in Lantana and travels the perimeter of Lake Osborne. It passes under the Lantana Road and 6th Ave bridges before turning around and coming back to The Hive for an afterparty and the Little Smiles Toy donation. Food vendors are along Lake Osborne Drive between Lantana and Lake Worth Roads and you can see the parade any point along Lake Osborne Drive, from Lantana Road to Lake Worth Road, and from John Prince Park. I watched the parade from the John Prince Campground where I caught the boats going out and coming back. It was not a large parade like the Seminole Winterfest Boat Parade in Ft. Lauderdale but it was cute and worth seeing. I didn't have to deal with crowds and the parade had fireworks and music. It is made up of small boats that travelled past me quickly. This was my first time attending this boat parade and it was a free and festive way to spend a holiday evening.

There were a ton of vendors (everything from jewelry to costumes, food items and horror memorabilia) and we saw some horror movie stars and some people in costumes. From the comments the vendors were making, it wasn't the turn out they were hoping for. There were movie screenings and panels but we didn't attend. All in all, it was fun- a completely unexpected way to enjoy a Saturday afternoon.

Henry Morrison Flagler Museum -- it's truly one of my favorite museums…read more The building itself is breathtaking. The atmosphere feels grand and almost surreal -- high ceilings, intricate hand-crafted details, beautiful paintings, and original interiors that have been preserved so carefully. Walking through the rooms feels like stepping back in time. The closets, bathrooms, and living spaces are all still there, untouched, which makes the experience even more special. One detail that really surprised me was the shoes -- they were incredibly tiny, almost like doll shoes. It's amazing to see how different things were back then. On my recent visit, I noticed they opened a new section on the second floor that I hadn't seen before. It's a mix of contemporary art and historical fashion elements -- including clothing details, vintage shoe boxes, and personal items from the original residents. I especially loved the miniature handbags and a wall art piece featuring delicate gloves -- so small, elegant, and made from very fine leather. There are so many unique details to take in. There's also a gift shop on the first floor with a great selection -- we even picked up a Monopoly game themed around the museum, which was such a fun find. They also have books, coloring items, posters, jewelry, accessories, and even small unique souvenirs -- something for everyone. Another highlight is the separate glass building . They recently opened a café there that serves breakfast on weekends. The view is stunning -- overlooking the water with the historic train nearby. The space is bright, clean and very peaceful. The only inconvenience I experienced was when my kids were younger -- strollers are not allowed inside, so keep that in mind if you're visiting with small children. Luckily, I had a baby sling with me, which helped a lot.

Learning about the history of the game and the grounds was good, and our charming docent was a wealth of knowledge which made it even better. - The staff and servers were all very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. - But... - The "high tea" designed to replicate a luncheon of the gilded age failed to live up to expectations. * I understand it's "tea" and not an AYCE buffet but when you pay almost $100 per person, you should reasonably assume you won't be leaving hungry. Au Contraire! * 2 finger sandwiches and mini tarts per person, plus 1/2 a deviled egg? My daughter's tea parties have more food than this... Plan on stopping for lunch after you eat here.
