Arts Garage delivers innovative, diverse, meaningful and accessible visual and performing arts experiences to Delray Beach and the South Florida community. We believe that every expression of art has value. When we provide our community the opportunity and access to arts programming, we create a vehicle for transformation – for individuals, for communities and for the globe. Art has the power to blur the lines that divide people and communities. Our vision of “Connecting our community to the world through the Arts” drives us toward innovative and diverse programming that is both accessible and relevant to our community. Diversity is a hallmark of all our programming at Arts Garage. We provide multicultural, diverse programming that promotes inclusion in the arts. We believe that diversity of staff provides an array of perspectives that pushes us to address the needs of the entire community.
Our programming includes:
· Music: From Grammy Award winning musicians to emerging, local artists, Arts Garage hosts performers representing a broad diversity of cultures. While our venue is perhaps best known for our Jazz and Blues programming, we also have a vibrant calendar full of other genres including Rock, Soul, World, Alternative, Hip Hop and Country.
· Theatre: Arts Garage stages theatre that represents new work, socially relevant content and community driven performances. While we do not currently host a traditional theatre season, we continue to provide opportunities for thought provoking and innovative work.
· Visual Arts: The Grassroots Gallery at Arts Garage exhibits emerging visual artists from the Delray Beach area. All artists have a reception, aligned with Delray Beach’s monthly Art Walk, drawing people to their exhibit; Arts Garage provides the artists with 70% of revenues earned from the sale of their work.
· Arts Education: With both adult and children’s arts education programming, Arts Garage provides a variety of opportunities for locals to grow their talents and knowledge of the Visual & Performing Arts. From theatre, drumline, and chorus to art and dance, Arts Garage provides meaningful instruction for all ages.
