The large gift shop had a lot to choose from at different prices. We came for the Wine Down event happening right in front of the Delray Affair in April. Wine, beer & soft drinks were available for purchase & I got to unwind & explore the exhibits. The WineDown will be open Friday & Saturday from 12-6 PM and Sunday from 12-5 PM. Proceeds benefit the Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce & the Cornell Museum.

I have wanted to come here for ages, but the timing never seemed right. We were in Delray too…read moreearly or too late or on the wrong day. Last week, everything came together and we were finally able to stop by the museum after a nearby lunch. The museum is located on the corner of Atlantic Avenue and Swinton. We've passed by many time going east on the avenue. There is metered parking on the side streets. The museum is in the hundred year old plus Delray School House. We entered and were greeted by the docent/volunteer. She told us a little about the building's history and which classrooms were originally located where before the remodeling was done. She also told us that they have no permanent exhibits, and that all the art work in the building was for sale. If you were interested in buying something, you should inquire about the price of the piece in the museum store. The first floor was occupied with works by the American artist, Dorothy Gillespie. Although she was a painter, she also worked in many different media. She was well known for her creative, colorful metal works of art. One quote compares her level of metal craft and skill as equal to Chihuly and his glassworks. On the second floor -- yes, there is a big staircase, but we took the elevator from inside the gift shop/store -- are works by Chilean-born Gustavo Novoa. Approximately 30 paintings show colorful, luxurious jungle scenes with animals. The volunteer said his art reminded her of the lushness of Gauguin's paintings. On second floor, there is also an exhibit of mosaics from a Mexican school. They are portraits of famous people -- actors, singers, etc. You will recognize most of them. The tiny pieces are put together in intricate patterns to form the faces. In some of them, they incorporate other materials -- like a piece of jewelry as a broach, leather as clothing, etc. They are fascinating to view up close first and then step back to see the overall portrait. The exhibits rotate periodically. The museum entrance is free, but there is a suggested donation of $5 per person which we happily paid. I'm glad we finally got a chance to visit.

As a fan of modern art I love to pop into the myriad of art galleries on Atlantic Avenue in Delray…read more While Atlantic Ave has a number of art galleries, Blue Gallery is the largest one I have found. Blue Gallery was founded 14 years ago by owner Rami Rotkopf who grew up in the family art business in Tel Aviv, Israel. In 2017 they expanded into the 5,000 square foot location next door. Inside Blue Gallery is room after room of modern art, ceramics, sculptures, etchings, paintings stretching down Atlantic Ave. Some of the 31 world famous artists represented in the Blue Gallery collection include David Schluss, Red Head, Patrick Pease, David D'Or, Ron Agam, Niso Maman, Avi Ram, Benda, Neil Loeb, and Lior Ron. The gallery often hosts exhibitions. Check their website for dates and times.

The Vintage Fair is an ongoing outdoor event at the Festival Flea Market. Admission and parking is…read morefree. It is located in the parking lot at the end near the Hillsboro Antique Mall. Items include handmade, vintage, antique, re-purposed and salvage. DJ Mike Locke provides the entertainment. On the day I visited I got there close to closing. I am not sure if some of the vendors already packed up but it looked like it. There was one huge tent and then one line of vendors outside. I mainly saw jewelry but here were also hummel figurines, depression glass and other assorted odds and ends. The vendors that were there were ready to wheel and deal. A lot of them were asking people to just make an offer and one women was offering and entire box of baubles for a dollar each. I was looking for some vintage pyrex but I didn't see any. If you want the best selection come when they open at 9 AM. I overheard some of the vendors say that they sold a lot of things earlier in the day. If you are just looking to perhaps snag a deal come close to 4 when the vendors are looking to sell rather than pack it up, The next fair is February 16th. Check the Festival Flea market's website under events for further dates.

One of the things I love about Atlantic Avenue is the collection of art galleries. Avalon Gallery…read moreis a participant in Downtown Delray Beach First Friday Art Walk, which takes place October through May on the first Friday of the month from 6 to 9 PM. The galleries offer specials on work and artists have meet and greets. While eating lunch across the street I noticed the beautiful display windows of the Avalon Gallery so after I finished I had to come over and check them out. Avalon is owned by John M. Terry and Mavis L.R. Benson and they represent over 120 artists in the U.S. and Canada. The gallery is filled with beautiful artist blown glass in all price points. Glass is one of my favorite mediums so I enjoyed exploring all of the beautiful pieces. In addition to glass they also have jewelry, ceramics, lamps, furniture, and wall art. If you can't come to the gallery in person you can look at what they have available on their website but they don't sell on online. You have to contact them directly if you see something you want to purchase. They will also consult with you to find exactly what you want. You can really get the personal touch here. If you can visit I highly recommend it. You really need to see in person how these beautiful works of glass art capture the light.

Some of them I found to be very funny. Others were just working on some jokes and testing it on an audience in a judge free space. The room is like a small garage, and it's very intimate. It's almost like a little hidden gem. It appeared that most of the audience were comedians practicing their bit. I came here to meet up with some friends. The peach has a Mexican restaurant as well as a lot of local art studios. But at the time I was there (late in the evening on a weeknight) the studios were closed. Parking is a little bit odd. There are very limited spaces in the lot. But there is lots of street parking. The night I was there though, I had to park a little far away. The event was free, and so was the parking which was great. I would love to come back and explore more art experiences. The show was chaotic, but well run.

They appreciate people who appreciate art, so if you want to explore some different art styles you don't find in other galleries it's definitely worth popping in. The man working (I forget his name) was a great conversationalist, and very welcoming. He even took the time to show us a video of one of the unique processes used for one of the artists on display which was neat! It's not the largest but there is a lot to look at. And if you are in the market for art, the team clearly is passionate and the pieces offer a variety for most tastes!

She also has the most *amazing* collection of dolls that she will be debuting in a new space soon. Excited to see that, as well!
