In 2012 the City of Pompano Beach adopted an ordinance to place public art in the city. Works are…read morechosen by the Public Art Committee and the Old Town Mural is part of the public art program. It's so much fun finding new art popping up in different places in the city. There is a ten year master plan that proposes 27 new pieces of art. Periodically Pompano will list a call for artist submissions on their public arts page and at that time artists can submit their work for consideration for the next project. The Old Town Mural was created by South Florida artist Carlos Gonzalez. He won the competition held by the Public Arts Committee and his design was chosen. The mural is located on an exterior wall in the Old Town section of Pompano located across the street frrom the Pompano Beach Cultural Center. In bright colors, the 98 foot high mural depicts the landmarks and historic sites in Pompano Beach. Scenes include the Pompano Beach pier, the Hillsboro Lighthouse, fruilts and vegetables from when Pompano Beach started out as a farming community, historic buildings, and a Pompano fish. The best time to come and see this mural is during Old Town Untapped, a food arts, and shopping event held on the first Friday of every month. The city planted some flowers in front of the mural and it is the perfect back drop for taking pictures. I really love this mural and am excited to see what the committee approves next.

It is on NW 31st Court and runs between University and Coral Hills Drives . The ArtWalk is 1300 feet long and has benches, a seating wall, native plant landscaping, and room for event tents. It serves as a park and a place for the city to display temporary art works, some of which they will eventually purchase. I enjoyed checking out the six art works on display which currently include Coalescence, Ascent, Beyond, Union One, and Give Them Wings. My favorite was the steel orchids that make up Coalescence. It is free to enjoy the art and it looks different depending on whether you visit during the day or at night. I look forward to seeing what else the city adds as well as attending events here.

Felt like it was actually misting but no rain. Lots of water under the walkway. It's a Lush forest. Then I did the 1 mile loop prairie trail plus an extra 300 yard loop trail off the prairie trail. Overall a nice forest. Check it out if you haven't been. It's free and plenty of parking was available on a Saturday.

The art is paid for during development and redevelopment in the city. Fees are collected from permits during building construction and renovations in the city. None of the art is paid with public tax dollars. Coalescence is one of six installations in the new ArtWalk, an event and entertainment space in downtown Coral Springs. The ArtWalk is 1300 feet long and has benches, a seating wall, native plant landscaping, and room for event tents. It serves as a place for the city to display temporary art works, some of which they will eventually purchase. Coalescence is my favorite art work of the six currently presented on the ArtWalk. Installed in August of this year, it is a 16 foot tall orchid sculpture by artist William Nemitoff. The metal orchids are separate with lighting inside the petals and under the leaves. The piece is interactive so feel free to sit, stand, and even jump on it's wooden leaves. The sculpture was created out of galvanized steel, concrete, ipe wood, and LED lights at a cost of $97,000. By day music plays and the flowers glow white. At night the flowers change color depending on who is around it. The more people who are on it and the more movement it detects, the louder the music gets and the lights become brighter. The orchid represents how delicate the environment and the piece conveys the message that the more people come together the better they are able to protect the earth. I love how the artist is trying to highlight an important issue, climate change while at the time making a beautiful piece of art that everyone can enjoy.

People put so much work and effort into this festival. We totally appreciate it. The things we love about the Florida Renaissance Festival is you feel like you've been lifted out of this regular world into a whole new place and everybody makes that happen that works there. The beautiful ambience of the park the decor all around, the awesome artworks that people create, the costumes. The music is one of my all-time favorites. It's part of the reason why I come here every year. Also you can try so many different types of foods that's always so exciting. I love dressing up, wearing costumes and walking through the park talking with other like-minded people. We enjoyed so many shows this year from the Washing Well Winches, to the guy playing the Bells, all the different Irish bands, like Celtic mayhem, one of my favorites is the band from Italy Rota they are awesome especially when they play in the street and we can dance all around so fun. Also love watch art demonstrations, Thanks again Florida Renaissance Festival for making this year great!

I've never seen so many pirates at one time but I guess we all had the same idea! In my opinion, it gets better with new sections added yearly. In true South Florida fashion, it poured and poured during our bar crawl. But nothing stops the crawl! We tracked on with cheers from the crowd under tents. It was an experience and so much fun! This year, my favorite bite was the dragon egg. A boiled egg cushioned by seasoned mashed potatoes and fried with a spicy crunchy breading. With ketchup and hot sauce, it tasted similar to an "egg ball" from Guyana. The beer wasn't bad either..lol Already planning my costume for next year! Huzzah!

The Bilotta Gallery…read moreis loaded with some of the most splendid pieces of contemporary art I've seen with many of their pieces being the works of local area artists. The gallery bills itself as being "The Home of Celebrity Artists," which I really found to be true as it contains some of the works of a well-known actor form a televisions series, one who I would have never expected of being an artist, as well as some works of well-known athletes. I was particularly taken by the works of the late Freddie Pacheco who was the personal physician of Muhammad Ali and well known as the "Fight Doctor" sports commentator in the 1970's. While there, I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Frank Bilotta who really couldn't have been more helpful, friendly or accommodating and who took the time to explain each work of art along with the history behind it. I also noted the prices and was surprised...actually shocked...to see how reasonable the prices were in comparison to what I've seen at other galleries for what I would consider similar works.
