Have you visited the Boynton Beach Industrial Craft District?

The Boynton Beach Art District is a vibrate community of creatives located at 410 W. Industrial Avenue, within the heart of the city’s industrial complex. Established by sculptor Richard Beau-Lieu in the mid 80’s as the Neighborhood Arts District and re-branded by visual artist Rolando Chang Barrero in 2012 as the Boynton Beach Art District (BBAD). The space offers subsidized studio spaces for up and coming artists.

The BBAD supports the local creative arts community and emerging artists through a variety of projects and activities, including exhibition opportunities with community partners such as: The Box Gallery, Art Palm Beach, the City of Boynton Beach, and a variety of other entities. Check out this promotional video to learn more about the BBAD.

One of the primary initiatives of the BBAD is their monthly Boynton Beach Art Walk, which showcases the district and spotlights local artists and businesses. On January 22, 2022, the Boynton Beach CRA partnered with the BBAD to provide an enhanced version of their monthly Boynton Beach Art Walk event. The lively event featured exhibitions from the studios of Licata Galleries, Hebby Metal, Shadetree Recording Studio, Vex Gallery, Hex Moto, and many more!

Event patrons were encouraged to explore the BBAD, engage with artists, groove to the sounds of a local DJ, enjoy the invigorating drum and dance routine that was performed by Map Dance Theater, and create their own artistic creation with Artsy Living Studio.

Did you miss the January Boynton Beach Art Walk?
