UPDATE REVIEW IN RESPONSE TO ARTBLEND ACCUSATIONS:…read more I am a person of great integrity and compassion. No matter how you try to draw me out as a liar, you will NEVER succeed at that. All those who know me know that my integrity is paramount. I am a community leader and lineage healer of a thousand generations, backed by my ancestors who have travelled the seas and fought against colonizers who oppressed and tried to silence them. I will NOT ALLOW you to do that to me today. So, to be called a liar by saying that I was being untruthful to save the face of your business is seriously uncalled for. Other businesses would have apologized and tried to appease customers such as myself in some way. I may take advantage of it or not. But at least, I received an apology. I received NONE. As an avid Yelper, I have every right to express my own PERSONAL experience with your gallery. I may not be a success story, but at least, I can tell others what happened to me. I also want to encourage artists to believe in themselves enough that they do not need other galleries to see to their own success. Very few fine artists in the world enjoy wealth and notoriety. Yet, many are so talented and go unrecognized. We see the world through our own unique lenses. I honestly believe that these events that exhibit artwork PREY on artists. They PREY on galleries...and galleries such as Artblend pass on the costs to the artists. It is true, it would cost more if we did it on our own to be at these so-called Hampton/New York/Spectrum Shows. ARTISTS, LOOK PAST all the pomp and circumstance of wealthy art seekers. You are out $5000, competing in a sea of other artists vying for space on the walls of some mansion. If you are so blessed to have a cushion of funds to invest, BY ALL MEANS, take the business risk. Truth: You ARE a pay-to-play gallery Truth: You do have a beautiful gallery and can make sales for artists who are lucky enough to sell their art. Truth: I did pay $5000 Truth: I was foolish and stupid to think that this was the course of action I needed to take to get my art "out there." Truth: I am NOT your success story Truth: You did offer resolution. But if Michael's idea of resolution is to PAY MORE by offering me a discounted rate to exhibit my artwork in San Diego, that it NOT my idea of a resolution. By the way, he was a nice person in the beginning. I don't believe he is a customer service driven person. I actually liked your first lady dealing with me. After all email exchanges, he took over and definitely lacks the finesse of dealing with unhappy clients. Truth: The Gallery was NEGLIGENT in the care of my art. PICTURES ARE EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE. Perhaps you can find a nugget of wisdom in this whole experience, as I have done myself. I learned so much about myself and for what it's worth, I am grateful. Artblend was a great teacher in what it means to believe in oneself. The experience taught me to keep it close to home and expand out that way when I am truly ready. Blessings and salamat.

Seeing beautiful art excites me. It's a feeling that's hard to describe, but I feel like I'm home among these great works of art. I could just look for hours. I realize the way these artists must feel to see their beloved paintings on display. I'm a photographer and I would just be so proud to have a showing such as this of my works. The gallery gave out wine, cheese and coffee to their guests. It was well worth the drive down there to see the beautiful display and imbibe their treats.I'm looking forward to the next showing by Artblend, I hope it's soon! Happy Holiday to the Gallery owners!

This gallery was open during the F.A.T. Art Walks held on the last Saturday of the month. It's an…read moreevent where the galleries in the Flagler Arts and Technology District open their doors, pop shops are set up, and they have food. The galleries were created out of unappealing warehouses. Now the area has been transformed into a funky arts district. The FAR Contemporary Gallery is one of three art project spaces, the other two being Projects Space, and ArtsUp! Concept. FAR sells original works of art. This gallery was hosting an exhibit by an artist who used pears in their work. The most interesting piece was a table cut in half including the plate and pear on the table. I always enjoy art exhibits and this event allows you to meet artists and talk to them about their work. If you are looking for something different to do the Art Walk is a fun event.

Tedds Art Works is an art gallery, but unlike most, the emphasis of Tedds Art Works is not strictly…read morebased upon that of retail sales. Instead, the goal is, in the words of its owner, "...to showcase and collaborate with emerging talent in the visual arts, film, music and performance art." The idea is to establish an understanding and appreciation of art in varied forms through exhibits, classes and community events. Tedds Art Works is housed in small undescriptive location along North Dixie Highway. However, once inside, one is immediately taken by the uniqueness of the displays, all of which are clearly as well as nicely described or labeled, and if there is anything or the quality of anything that is not quickly understood, the owner, Tedd, is right on hand and more than happy to provide any details. For example, on the day I was there, there was a display entitled "Assemblage of Heads" by resident artist Michael Jude Russo. Each depiction of a head was composed of discarded trash, the meaning of which to me was that with some imagination and artistic interpretation, even trash can be made into an innovative item of art and that trash itself can have an inherent beauty about it. There was also another display by a person from Centralia, Pennsylvania, which in many ways seemed to recount dreaded memories of his life that town, now except for a population that has dwindled from over a thousand to a mere six or seven people, mostly abandoned due to an inextinguishable underground coal fire that is expected to continue for a period of 950 years when its fuel will run out. As the displays are constantly changing and as local art is constantly evolving, you never know exactly what art or form of art you will be seeing when visiting Tedds Art Works; which to me is a good thing.

The brothers purchased 10 warehouses pre-pandemic and spent 10 million dollars transforming them into Thrive. After four years of development, Thrive Art District opened in 2023. The Thrive Art District has 38 low-rent art studios, coffeehouse, indie record store, and the craft beerhouse, Uncommon Path Brewing. The centerpiece of Thrive is a music square hosting concerts and events. Surrounding the square are a number of interesting murals on the art studios and businesses. Some of the former FAT Village artists have migrated to Thrive since it began accepting tenants in 2022. Events held here include Freshly Squeezed DJ Live Set, Pilates Strength with Blue Diamond Fitness, and Artwalk. Check out the Thrive website for dates and times. I came to the Saturday night Wheels & Paws Car Show which raises money for 1 Lucky Dog Recue. They had cars on display along with vendors selling food, drinks, and car and dog related items. It is a fun event for a good cause. I look forward to coming back to check out the brewery which looked very nice. This area has an up and coming vibe and I have no doubt it will be 5 stars once some more businesses open.
