Atlantic Ave March 2017 Edition

an art show right in our backyard every weekend this month!
March is National Craft Month and the Delray Art League
brings us Artists in the Park for our browsing pleasure. Held
10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday (weather permitting),
the art show features original work from locals artists
in the South Florida area. There are a myriad of different
mediums, styles and techniques, so you are sure to find something
you like, or at least catch the craft bug and make a new
piece for yourself. Artists in the Park is held at Veteran’s Park
and admission is free, so take a minute to browse through
while you enjoy your morning coffee or after you’re done
brunching on the Avenue. The weather is gorgeous, the artists
friendly, and the mood is festive, so enjoy your time outside
among beauty. Veteran’s Park is located at 801 E. Atlantic Ave.

To speak to what makes someone laugh and actually deliver
a witty or dry or crass punchline is something of a
talent. Not everyone has it, and it sure is funny to watch
it in action. March is Humorists Are Artists Month and is the
perfect time to catch up on some belly laughs from professionals.
The Crest Theater and Catch a Rising Star Comedy present
award-winning musical comedienne, Angela LaGreca, and
stand-up comedian, Dick Capri, for your laughing pleasure.
LaGreca has performed everywhere from Caroline’s Comedy
Club to Carnegie Hall, and is the recipient of six MAC Awards
(New York City’s “Oscar” for live performance) and a Backstage
Bistro Award, in addition to appearing on popular TV
programs and shows. Capri got his start in the Catskills and
is known for making the talk show circuit rounds. He is best
recognized for his Friar Roast of Jerry Stiller, and has opened
for many musical performers like Engelbert Humperdinck,
Liza Minnelli, Frank Sinatra and more. The event is held at the
Crest Theatre, 51 N. Swinton Ave., on March 10 at 8 p.m. Tickets
start at $47 per person so be sure to get your tickets early
before the fun is sold out. Visit www.oldschoolsquare.org or

March is International Expect Success Month and is a good
time to focus on what success means to you and how to
achieve it. Thankfully, you don’t have to do it alone. The Delray
Beach Public Library is hosting a Mindfulness Matters: Habits

purpose, in addition to developing compassion, patience and
tolerance from a personal perspective. All in all, you’ll take a
deeper look into yourself and learn a few tips and strategies
that will help you to be successful in several aspects of your
life. The class is $50 for all four session and the first class is
