Benzaiten Center for Creative Arts is an impressive and inspiring space that I know you'll enjoy. If you're looking for something new and like nothing else you've experienced in Palm Beach county, please check it out. Even if you're not artsy fartsy like me, it's so vibrant and visceral (the live, team glassblowing event) you'll find something that tickles your fancy (wine, food, live music, sweaty humans, lol) Another review giving it to you straight no chaser! -Lizz aka The Hungry Poet

The items for sale are of high quality and considering that, the prices are by a large reasonable. You're supporting a local, small business by spending your money here. It is well worth it.

We watched an informative glassblowing presentation, saw a lot of beautiful unique art and walked around the extensive gift shop.

Patricia's Gallery is in the Villas along Antique Row on Dixie Hwy in West Palm Beach. Antique Row…read morebegan as a handful of antique businesses that sprang up in the 1970's in an area that had been on the decline. By 1979 there were seven dealers on the 3700 block of Dixie Highway. Antique Row received a boost from a 1990's Architectural Digest article declaring it the best place in West Palm Beach to find treasures from 1920s Art Deco to mid-century modern. By 2003, Antique Row was drawing comparisons to the Rue de Beaune in Paris and New King's Road in London. Today trendy restaurants have joined the antique stores and there is a popular annual street fair. Patricia's Gallery is owned by the Countess Patricia Pingree-Clouet, a French curator, designer, and collector who hand picks antiques to mid century items from private collections, estates, and homes all over the world. Patricia worked for five years in Paris for the fashion house Coco Chanel under Karl Lagerfeld. Some of the items in the store Patricia designs herself. Prices are more than I can afford but I had fun looking. While I was browsing the gentleman working gave a very interesting lecture on Victorian era spoon warmer cups. They were filled with hot water so you could dip your spoon in and heat it before eating your soup during a time when the kitchen was often far from the dining room. One of the stores clients collects them and has repurposed them as individual flower vases at each place setting. I had never heard of them before so it was interesting to learn about them. I wish I could have stuck around for more stories. Perhaps another time.

Dishonorable business! Over the holiday weekend, I informed Patricia via Chairish that I had…read moreclients interested in a $$$$ table, and asked her to place a hold on it until the payment went through, which she did. The price at that point was $3400, and my portion of that was $340 - which is all I get paid for this sale. Because of the holiday, it took until Tuesday for my clients' payment to clear. At that point, I made an offer and inadvertently put in the retail price instead of the trade price. As soon as I sent it, I realized the error and messaged her, letting her know what had happened and asking her not to process it. I also tried to contact Chairish for help but their customer service is pretty much non-existent at this point. You cannot get ahold of them for days at a time. Nonetheless, the payment went through. I then messaged Patricia to ask her to please refund me the $340. She has declined to do so, saying that it is 'out of her hands' - which is patently ridiculous, since she can certainly mail me a check. I will not be buying from her again, and I am going to continue to pursue this matter.

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.

While enjoying the Lake Worth Annual Street Painting Festival I noticed this adorable gift store…read more In addition to showcasing artists, the festival also gives a boost to local shops and restaurants. Sea You Boutique opened in August of last year and they go out of their way to make you feel welcome. They bill themselves as a beachy, boho boutique. They sell bags, art, beauty product, clothes, accessories, home goods, plants and pots, candles, kids clothing and toys, books, stationary, pantry goods, and more. There is something for every budget. If you can't make it in they also have an online store. They also recently started offering in store workshops. Follow them on social media for dates and times and new items. I really like the Florida line of bracelets and the swimmer necklace. Quite a few bags caught my eye too as did the gorgeous teal Talavera tumblers. They have items with Lake Worth Beach on them like shirts and stationary. If you love a beachy, tropical vibe, this is your sign to visit Sea You Boutique for a souvenir, a gift, or just to treat yourself.
