Delray Beach has a thriving arts scene which includes the Arts Warehouse which opened in 2017 in the Pineapple Grove District. The Community Redevelopment Agency spent 2 million dollars refurbishing a warehouse where they added three gallery spaces for rotating art work and 15 artist studios. Arts Warehouse was created to be an arts incubator to emerging artists in Delray Beach,. The Arts Warehouse provides a place where they can create art while developing their careers and honing their business skills. The Arts Warehouse also offers monthly workshops to the public. By investing in the arts the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency has found a direct link to a stronger economy.
The Arts Warehouse is open Wednesday through Saturday. Admission to the gallery is free. I came by to see the current exhibition and was greeted warmly by Lucas who was volunteering. Currently on display you can see Echoes Unveiled by Katya Neptune representing 20 years of her work supporting orphans in Rwanda,, Africa, and Cap Haitien, Haiti, Coming Home by resident artist Dominique Dennis who was inspired by her childhood memories of growing up in Haiti, and A certain Thread by three women artists, Rachel Anzalone, Shawna Moulton, and Yachi Yakir-Avin. The current exhibition will be on display until October 19th.
If you are in Delray Beach and enjoy art, I highly recommend stopping by this cultural institution. You can find a list of art workshops and upcoming events on the Art Warehouse website. If you give them your email address they will notify you of future programs.
