Cruise Around the World in a Day
The City of Boynton Beach Recreation and Parks Department Art Center held its annual Art Showcase
on Wednesday, Aug. 2 of this year to highlight the beautiful art work that was created by the children
enrolled in the 2006 Art Camp. The children and parents were very pleased to see their artwork on display.
The Art Center exposes the public to the artistic process on a daily basis by promoting the idea that
everyone can be connected to the creative energy of art-making. The center also nurtures artists’ creative
efforts and encourages the community’s understanding of the value of this effort, which helps residents and
visitors connect with the creative energies inherent in us all.
Another event that will take place on Saturday, Oct. 7 is
a “Families Helping Families in Boynton Beach” day between
12 noon – 7 p.m. This event will be hosted by Art-Sea studio.
Families are encouraged to stop by and each paint a dinner
plate, bowl or mug to promote “FAMILY DINNERS” at home.
In turn, Art-Sea Studio will donate 100 percent of the
proceeds to the “Community Caring Center in Boynton
Beach,” which provides food, shelter and helps families in
crisis.
Owner of Art-Sea Studio, Barbara Lentz, says, “Some
families right here in Boynton Beach do not have enough food
to put on their tables at night to even attempt a family dinner.”
This is a great opportunity to have fun with your family and
show your little ones that, no matter what size you are, you
can help make a difference!
To make a donation or for more information, please
contact Art-Sea Studio at 640 East Ocean Ave., Boynton
Beach, or call 561-737-6811.
