Happy Friday,



We made it through another week and are looking at another weekend packed with Art events. But first a couple updates.



Palm Beach Post just posted their "Best of Palm Beach County" awards. Check them out here. During the nomination phase, I wrote up a list of all my favorites as well. I like my winners better.



Concerned about traffic safety? City of West Palm Beach received a $40,000 grant from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The grant was awarded to the West Palm Beach Police Department for pedestrian and bicycle enforcement. So keep your eyes open while crossing those streets (or driving a car/bicycle)!



This money is going to support the City of West Palm Beach's Vision Zero initiative. For more about Vision Zero visit: wpb.org/visionzero







Speaking of Biking... Bike to Work Week is coming up on March 11th. The city has a web page set up to encourage you to get out and bike for a week. wpbbiketowork.com

Feb 23rd - 24th The Lake Worth Street Painting Festival



Traced back to 16th century Italy when itinerant artists would use their chalks to transform pavement into a makeshift canvas, street painting has retained its appeal through the centuries. As in ages past, crowds still gather to watch as fine works of art emerge. The “paintings” last only until the next rain, but the lively spirit and accessibility of the exhibition captivates new audiences each year and inspires lasting memories.

B E A R T O E

"If you’ve been around Florida for the past few years or more, chances are good you’ve seen the Beartoe moniker attached to various bars, clubs and festivals all across The Sunshine State. Regularly playing four and five shows a week—sometimes multiple shows a night, usually for two and three hours a pop—Beartoe’s got to be one of the hardest working musicians in Florida" Showsigoto

D A V I D K

"A man of some history, many parts, a hard edge, and a soft underbelly, singer/songwriter and hairstylist extraordinaire David K brings his tales of heartbreak and paradox to the stage on an irregular basis....K's songs are intricately rhymed tales of love and loss, their emotional reversals bitter, sweet and delicately worldly-wise. To blithe melodies and with quavering voice, angels rush in, stumble, and fly off to fall again" New Times



THE GUTTERTONES

A new duo out of west palm beach, the GutterTones are bringing dirty stinkin rock and roll straight out of the gutter and onto the stage. High energy and high volume, this duo takes elements of blues, jazz, and rock and roll, runs them through the ringer of low life and hard times and polishes it up with all the shine of a rusty tire iron.
