I've been coming to the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts for years, and it has…read morealways been a place I genuinely enjoyed. Unfortunately, my recent visit to see the Peking Acrobats was a completely different experience--one that left me feeling singled out and deeply uncomfortable. I understand that policies evolve. Paid parking is one thing, even if it feels like an added burden on top of already expensive tickets. What's harder to overlook is how I was treated from the moment I arrived. While parking, I backed into a spot as I've done on previous visits and was immediately and aggressively corrected by a parking attendant. If it's head-in parking only, that's perfectly fine--but the tone was unnecessarily harsh. What stood out even more was that a nearby vehicle was also backed in and remained that way without being addressed or corrected. Despite that, I was the one singled out. Inside the venue, things escalated. When I approached the information desk to ask about a note on my ticket for a complimentary pre-show drink, the staff member questioned the legitimacy of my tickets--where I got them, when I got them--and then had my family and me step aside in the lobby while they rescanned them to confirm they were "real." We stood there for about 15 minutes, feeling as though we had done something wrong, simply for asking a question. What was most telling was what happened next. When an elderly white patron approached the same desk with the exact same note on his ticket, the tone immediately shifted. Only then did staff begin resolving the issue, and only then were we directed to redeem the drinks we had already been delayed over. The contrast was hard to ignore. Unfortunately, the pattern continued. After purchasing drinks and a few snacks, we were stopped almost immediately after leaving the concession line and told we could not take food into the theater. Again, I complied without issue. But once seated, I couldn't help but notice multiple other patrons--directly around us--eating inside the theater: cookies, popcorn, even outside food. None of them were stopped. None of them were approached. By that point, the issue was no longer about the rules--it was about how selectively they were enforced. In the span of less than an hour, I was approached three separate times by staff, each interaction carrying an edge of suspicion or correction that others around me did not seem to experience. As an Asian-American man attending with my interracial family, it became increasingly difficult to dismiss how targeted it felt. What should have been a joyful evening turned into something else entirely. It's a difficult feeling to describe--being made to feel out of place in a venue you've supported for years, and then having to process that in front of your child. This experience left me disappointed and honestly hurt. The Kravis Center has always been a place I respected, but after this, it's hard to see myself returning anytime soon.

We happened on this art center a bit by accident as I saw a notice about it in the shiny sheet…read morewhile visiting palm beach. So we made the detour to this historic Art Deco building to see what their gallery had to offer. The building was a WPA project during the depression. It was built in 1939. After many years as a military building, and some years in disrepair, it became an arts school in the the late 80's. It's gone through renovations and expansions. It is now an arts education school with many classes for all ages and in the summer a lot of workshops, etc., for kids from young ages through teens. Attached to the school was a small one room art gallery with an exhibit highlighting mainly clay pieces done by students and teachers. Each ceramic piece was marked with a price and displayed the name (s) of the artist and the teacher's name. Exhibitions change periodically. There was no charge to enter, but donations are accepted. We couldn't see the other (creative) studios as entry was restricted. More interesting to me was their sculpture garden outside with a few appealing items and the manicured grounds that faced the street. They've hosted an art festival for the last few years (in December) outside on these grounds.

My daughter (13) signed up for a teen art camp with the Armory. She came home after the first day…read morefeeling very disappointed as it did not seem there was enough planned for them. For a jewelry making task, they were given wire, string, and seashells, and were simply told to wrap wire around the shells tie it to the string for a necklace. They were shown an example, but never shown how to do it, and lacked tools. They spent a good bit of time on their phones when they had nothing to do, and at one point, another child in the group had to ask if they could all have some beads to string because they literally weren't doing anything. Needless to say, I called the director, but was fed a bunch of excuses such as "it won't be the same as last year, because we don't have that same studio to use." Yet, she assured me she would make sure there were more things for them to do the next day. I told my daughter to try it out again on Tuesday, but to call me at lunch if it felt as underwhelming as the previous day. Sure enough, I received the phone call. In their jewelry class, they were learning how to make seed bead flowers... but here is the catch... she told them to look up the method on their phones to learn!!! Geez, I could do that at home for a lot cheaper than I paid for this camp! I went and picked my daughter up where I was 'greeted' by the camp director (Jeanie, not sure on spelling?) telling me that it was my fault that one of the camp instructors quit because of my concerned phone call, and now she only has one instructor, and it's all because of me. Went on to say that he said he was tired of dealing with armory parents like myself. To me, this is just an omission of guilt, I guess I'm not the only parent with concerns??? She continued on with her blame rampage saying that my daughter brought a bad attitude to camp with her, and was refusing to do things. That's when I demanded to speak with the teacher who confirmed what I already knew, my daughter was not negative, and did participate in the activities (as poorly planned out as they were for a group of 13-17 year olds). I've given the Armory many chances, but they just can't seem to get it together. The last camp she attended there a few summers ago, she came home upset with how mean she saw the director treating instructors and helpers... interestingly enough that director was fired by week's end. On top of that, the last 2 classes we signed her up for were cancelled due to another instructor quitting and lack of enrollment. It's pretty sad, my daughter loves art and we have heard this place was so wonderful back in its prime.

The observatory was awesome, the woman who was working was kind enough to re open the telescope after she closed it for the day. We came for the last showing. We got to see the sun and the sun spots. So unique to use a telescope during the day. The flight simulator was awesome too, never seen that at a science museum before. They dumbed down the controls but it was still fun to steer.

Just outside the entrance to the exhibition there was a white tent with signs requesting that you wait there until it is your turn to go in, but it was completely empty and we went in right away. I was really looking forward to this exhibition but ended up feeling a little bit disappointed about it. Besides the fact that (for some reasons) I thought it would be a more immersive experience, the vast majority of the panels reproducing each section of the Sistine Chapel were displayed on the walls and ceiling of a medium-size room; the remaining few were on the wall of an adjacent small room: both rooms seem just too overcrowded. There was no special lighting that would better bring up the beauty of the paintings and make you focus on the details: the ambience was too white and bright, not to talk about the huge crowd and the inside heat that was almost matching the outside temperature! Each paintings has its own brief description: probably the audio tour that is offered at the entrance explains more, but it's not included in the ticket... It was a very quick visit, and we were lucky that at one point the crowd left, so we could actually spend some time to admire the paintings, read their descriptions and "google" some more info. Although it could have been presented and/or explained in a better way, this exhibit is a brilliant idea to "move" around the world the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and I'm glad that West Palm Beach was chosen as one of the stops of the tour: unfortunately, there are not so many cultural events in West Palm Beach.

You can also do so online, but we wanted to see the layout of the seats. Turns out we were in great ones only 7 rows back and on the aisle. But the playhouse is small enough -- with no obstructing poles -- that almost any seat would offer a good view of the stage. Plus the acoustics were very good, too. For the evening shows, they open the doors at 7 pm for seating for the 7:30 show. They have a small snack bar (cash) in the lobby. We saw "Kiss me Kate" which was excellent. The cast were wonderful singers and although the musical is long, it was enjoyable. There was an intermission half way through. It's playing here for another week, btw. Both Roy and I were active in our high school drama clubs. We appreciate the efforts of all involved in putting on a production. It was so nice here to witness the frequent and heartfelt applause for every performer. And people didn't rush out of the theater en masse, either, as they do in Fort Lauderdale. We look forward to returning in the near future.

They had so many beautiful pieces of art from all different eras and cultures. The people were also very nice and welcoming The impressionists are always my favorite paintings and sculptures to see. They had all the different masters and some very famous paintings and some other special ones that I hadn't seen. Everything from Degas to Renoir to Rodin and many more. They also had a really great PLEIN-AIR collection from artists I hadn't heard of which made it even better and more interesting. It's such a gorgeous technique and they created such beautiful work. You often only hear about all the great work from the European masters but there were also some talented Americans who could also master techniques like the Dutch master Vermeer and how he could perfectly capture light and shading. I loved the gorgeous painting by Everett Shin. Fantastic! John Slogan also created a painting that reminded me of the posters of Talouse Latrec. The global cultural pictures and artifacts were also pretty fantastic. The Japanese pieces made us think of the wonderful time we had in Japan and all the wonderful museums, temples and places we saw. I also loved the Chihuly Ceiling which was so beautiful. I loved all the beautiful colors. They even had some Andy Warhols which made us think of home and his terrific museum in Pittsburgh. They have a broad range of all different types of art. We'll definitely have to go back and explore further the next time we're in FL.
