Get Your Art On At The Delray Beach Florida Art Walk

By Jony Mozen


Even if you live close to the ocean or are visiting a place on the beach, you might still yearn to do something that isn't on the water. When in Delray Beach Florida and boating and sunbathing just won't do, expand your horizons and give the Delray Beach Art District a try instead. You will be very happy that you did.

The downtown area of Delray Beach is thriving as more people claim the best spots in the area to call home. With this influx of people means more businesses opening to give them something to do, including many new shops that have popped up. Nestled between many of these shops are some really fantastic art galleries that comprise the Art District.

Many annual events are held in the Art District, some of which attract people from miles away, including lots of tourists. However, there is a monthly event that is held not only for tourists, but for the locals as well. It is called the Delray Beach Art Walk, and it is a fun way to experience some art and culture that is free and open to the public.

The Art Walk is held on the first Friday of every month, from 6:00 p. M. To 9:00 p. M. Most of the art galleries on Atlantic Avenue and in the Pineapple Grove District participate. They welcome all the walkers and often hold special sales and offerings in honor of the special evening. Many of the galleries feature ocean-themed and outdoorsy paintings, sculptures, crafts and other items, which is a reflection of the area.

You can shop for yourself while you are there, but you can also check several people off your gift giving list as well. Imagine the surprise when a loved one opens a unique piece of art that nobody else has, from a local artist. A painting or piece of pottery also makes a great housewarming or wedding gift in case you have any of those occasions coming up as well.

No painting is quite complete without a suitable frame to make it really pop on your wall. While some galleries may offer framing, many do not. That is no problem, since the District is home to a professional and reputable custom framing shop. Choose from many materials and finishes to bring out the color in your chosen print, so it can really shine and be something you are proud to show off or gift.

Once the Art Walk is over, there are still plenty of things to do in the area, so you can make an entire evening of it. There are lots of other shops in case you want to indulge in some retail therapy. You can also grab a bite to eat at a restaurant in the area, or just take a peaceful walk.

You can go alone to the Art Walk, but taking someone with you is a great way to share the experience. Whether it is friends you want to catch up with or a date night, this is a great way to share a fun and cultural experience that really captures what Delray Beach is all about.
