You can…read morefind the colorful sculpture of a family comprising of a father, mother, and daughter made out of metal next to the playground. The Family was created by artist Peter Otfinoski in 2002 out of recycled painted steel. Otfinoski was born in 1951 and grew up on a farm in New England. He honed his self taught artistic talent while working in mental institutions as a young man and he learned to weld metal from his uncle who repaired farm equipment. In 1990 Otfinoski moved to rural Loxahatchee where he built a sculpture park called the Lovehappiness Institute. Many of his large steel figures are crafted from old restaurant kitchens. Besides creating sculptures, Otfinoski is also an oil painter. His work has been exhibited at The Portland Museum of Art, The Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art, The New Britain Museum of American Art and The Menello Museum of Folk Art in Orlando. I love this whimsical and bright sculpture. If you look closely at the mothers arm you can see the word love. To me the sculpture represents the families that come to enjoy the park and the love they have for each other. I enjoyed learning about Peter Otfinoski and since he is a local artist I will be on the lookout for more of his work the next time I visit an art museum.

Water Pavilion is an interactive public art installation in Rosemary Square. Parking is available…read morefor $12 valet or in the garage, free before 5 PM and $5 an hour after. There is some limited meter parking a few blocks away. Water Pavilion is a 1,400 square foot fountain created by Danish artist Jeppe Hein who is based out of Berlin. It is Hein's first art installation in Florida. Water Pavilion is made out of 2 circles of water that jet out of the ground as high as seven feet tall and it is computer programmed. Walls of water are created and visitors to the fountain are encouraged to move in and out of them. About the piece, Hein has said ""Independent from background, gender or age, people will forget in a second who and where they are because it is an amazing feeling to be surrounded by walls of water. I hope this experience strengthens the sense of community between the various groups that generally reflect a district at large." Hein's work is about people coming together and Water Pavilion accomplishes this in the most delightful way. Martin Aquatic provided the hydraulic, structural, filtration, and chemical system design and engineering services to complete the project. While this is technically a work of art, the kids who love it only see it as a splash pad where they can cool off and play. There is a covered lawn area with beach chairs so parents can keep and eye on the kids as they enjoy the fountain. UV filters sanitize the water every cycle the water passes through the pumps and it is chlorinated to keep the water sanitary. This has to be the most interactive and fun art that I have ever come across. it is is sure to delight generations of children for years to come.

Commissioned for the development and installed in 2017, it remains the tallest public artwork in Palm Beach County. Paley describes Cavalcade as a dramatic silhouette meant to engage the sky and sunlight. The sculpture's spire-like forms, painted in vibrant yellows, are inspired by palm fronds, which he sees as delicate floral elements reaching skyward. Though the piece is not kinetic, its folded, interlaced metal shapes suggest motion as if stirred by ocean air. Paley emphasizes how the sculpture changes throughout the day, with shifting light and shadow enhancing its dynamism and creating a sense of constant transformation. When I first saw it, I was struck by how it seemed to rise out of the pavement like a burst of energy--part botanical, part industrial, and entirely alive. More than marking the corner, it claims it. The sculpture feels like welcome sign for the neighborhood that blends ambition with artistry. While fully metal and status, it channels the softness of nature.

The artist based the design on his interpretation of palm fronds. He also designed it to have folding metal to look like it had movement even though it is stationary. Albert Paley's work can be found in the permanent collections of over 30 museums, nationally and internationally, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Toledo Museum of Art, and in London in the Victoria and Albert Museum and The British Museum. About his work Paley has said "In creating a work of art, besides my personal experience, my concern is how it emotionally and intellectually engages the viewer. Through the creative process I have developed a personal visual vocabulary fundamentally based in symbolism and metaphor which is implicit in my work." I love the whimsical shapes and how colorful it is. When you look at it at a certain angle it reminds me a little bit of Edward Scissor Hands. It's large size and bright colors really make it stand out as you drive by.

"The Centennial" is a cool 16-foot sailboat sculpture that marks Lantana, Florida's 100th birthday…read more It sits in Bicentennial Park and was revealed during the town's big centennial party on April 24, 2021. The piece was dreamed up by a creative duo from L.A. called Aphidoidea--Jesus Eduardo Magaña and Paulina Bouyer-Magaña--and built by a local team at Southern Custom Iron and Art in Boynton Beach, run by Joe and Ashleigh Hernandez. It's made from tough, marine-grade metal and built to handle hurricane winds. At night, the lighting gives it a glow that probably looks amazing from the water. The sailboat reflects Lantana's deep ties to fishing and the sea. The two sails stand for direction and drive, kind of like where the town's been and where it's heading. The base is decorated with seven pavers arranged like a lantana flower - a sweet little nod to the town's name. [Review 481 of 2025 - 2121 in Florida - 24043 overall]

It is part of the "Hello Sunshine" installation which was chosen by the West Palm Beach Art In Public Places through a competition. There are five pieces in total installed at different intersections that serve as gateways to the city. The five pieces cost a total of $256,000 and the program is funded by private developers. While they all feature rays of sun each piece is different. They all are made of aluminum panels, reinforced with steel and a concrete base. They are yellow with a white interior. The artist behind the idea is Paulina Bouyer-Magana. She is part of an art collective out of Los Angeles called Aphidoidea. This is how they describe the project. "Here is "Meet "Hello Sunshine" - Hello Sunshine is the geometrical representation of the sunrise that is sectioned into five clusters of sunrays. Each cluster is unique and together they form the whole sunrise, but just like the notion of union, one cannot see the whole picture at once. You have to experience each part individually, in order to appreciate the whole thing. We want to give people the opportunity to go out and experience all five districts and see the whole picture that makes up West Palm Beach." This sculpture was installed earlier this year. It is so new that I found the instructions to put it together still stuck on it. Some community groups were outspoken against the project feeling that the money could have been better spent elsewhere. It definitely catches the eye and now that I know about it I'll be on the lookout for the other pieces in the city.

You can best view her under the Lake Worth Bridge from the piers of the Snook Islands. It turns out this lady has a story and a name, Uhame which means spirit in Hawaiian. She was painted by Hawaiian artist Sean Yoro for the 2017 Canvas Art Festival. Yoro's art can be found all over the world. Many of his works blend humans and nature together. He has completed more than 50 murals, many on walls. He has even completed murals under water. His twin brother Kapu often documents his work. Yoro said that he was inspired to create Uhame by the City of Lake Worth itself. Lake Worth reminded him of Hawaii and he wanted the mural to reflect the peacefulness of the water and the nature of the city.

That is definitely an experience bc the ride starts on land and it converts to a boat to see the homes on the water.

There's also a lot of downtown restaurants, shops, cafes, art, murals, etc. Lastly my all time favorite is their Christmas tree. It's one of my most favorite Christmas trees. It's made of sand and is so beautiful day and night. This is def a great place to visit. So many things to do. Fun for families, couples, kids, dog friendly. I will continue to visit and will love checking out the new local attractions and restaurants that open!
