The Delray Beach Florida Art Walk Is A Must See

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.

While the District hosts several events during the year, one of the gems is the Delray Beach Art Walk, which happens once a month. This is great news for tourists, since they can go any of the twelve times a year it happens, rather than having to show up on a specific day and month like with annual events.

The Art District is very near the ocean, so of course many of the pieces of art in the galleries that comprise the Art Walk feature a sea or nautical theme. There are many other themes to explore too. All you have to do to see them is come down to the District every first Friday of the month from 6:00 p. M. Until 9:00 p. M. To see what the local artisans and art gallery owners have on display. Peruse, buy and take in the thriving local scene.

There are dozens of galleries and other art related shops, allowing you to see a wide variety of local artisans at work. You can buy pieces for yourself to decorate your home, or think about buying a gift while you are there. A nice handmade piece from a local artist makes a great birthday or Christmas gift. Give to someone throwing a housewarming party, or perhaps as a wedding gift.

If you buy a painting, you will need a way to display it on your wall that does it justice. Not only does the Art Walk have some great prints for sale, but there is also a shop that will do custom framing to complete your purchase. The frames are chosen to bring out the most vivid and striking colors in your chosen piece, so it will impress your friends and family once you get it home.

While you are in the area, there are plenty of other attractions as well. You can get a bite to eat at one of the many gourmet restaurants that line the District. There are also other shops to see and the oceanfront is nearby in case you want to see the sun set as you visit each artist.

You can do the monthly celebration on your own, but it is a lot of fun to do it with friends. Invite a group out for the night, or walk the Walk as a special date night where you get to see the livelier side of downtown Delray Beach and all it has to offer.
