What’s Going On? Arts Garage, Delray Beach, Cultural Activities, Arts, Entertainment, “BYOW” Bring Your Own Whatever, Village by the Sea, South Florida, Palm Beach County
Celebrating the Holidays in Delray Beach? This Village by the Sea knows a thing or two about celebrations. Up and down Atlantic Avenue, towards A1A and the Beach, you will find a decorated Village. Years ago when I first “discovered” Delray Beach, already it was becoming a place to go with gorgeous beaches. I think I liked it a lot because it reminded me of our Delaware Beaches. Same idea, Delray is a town that is preserving its cultural heritage, and definitely, a dining and shopping destination.
Back in October I was in Delray and decided to stop and check out a fairly new cultural and arts venue located in the Pineapple Grove District of Delray. Pineapple Grove has become an extension of Atlantic Ave.
The Arts Garage is located at 180 NE First St., Delray Beach, FL 33444. Tel. 561-450-6357 Website? http://www.artsgarage.org
The Arts Garage is across the new Hyatt Place, which opened just a few months ago. By the way, I wrote a post with photos on December 12th. If you would like to see it, just scroll down to the date.
It is a storefront space situated on the lower level of the Old School Square Parking Garage. Art exhibits in the lobby change all the time.
The Arts Garage “is a multi-disciplinary cultural hub for visual artists, musicians, performing film presenters and arts educators”.
BYOW or better yet Bring Your Own Whatever is what you would want to do. It is a different concept and it has been received with much success. Just bring whatever you want; drinks, wine, a full meal, snacks or appetizers, perhaps? Please note that you need to bring everything for your drinks and meal; napkins, glasses, silverware, etc. etc.
You can sit at individual tables which are closer to the stage. You can buy a whole table or individual seats.
Or, you can also sit auditorium style in the back. I say the back, but there are no bad seats in the theater.
If you want to know more about Arts Garage, please check http://www.artsgarage.org/about.
Programs, concerts, films and theater, including classes for children are all in the website. The schedule can be seen at http://www.artsgarage.org/programs.php.
So what would a perfect in Delray Beach be? How about spending the day on the unobstructed beach….and then hitting the Arts Garage for a very unique and fun night!!
