PINEAPPLE GROVE ARTWALK
Pineapple Grove Artwalk creates an innovative showcase of the Visual Arts with Sculptures,
Murals, Obelisks and informational Kiosks. These works of art will be scattered throughout the
sixty - five plus acres comprising the Pineapple Grove Main Street District.
The district is composed of a mixture of residential homes, interesting shops and service
orienu~d structures located in the historic Pineapple Grove Area. This was the location of
Pineapple fields and Canneries. All of that is gone save the old railway station and remnants of
the restored Ocean City Lumber Company which is now a beautiful restaurant, coffee house,
unique shops, photographic school and studio. In the center of Pineapple Grove Way the new
branch of the Miami City Ballet will enhance the District. Pineapple Grove is an area just off
the famous Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach's restored glamorous restaurant and specialty shop
district.
Thc outdoor gallery will encompass sculptures, murals and other art accomplishments by
international, national and Florida artists. Advertising in art oriented publications will am:act
artists of differing mediums. They will be asked to submit slides of their work to be considered
for annual and permanent exhibitions. A panel of qualified art professionals will review the
work.
For the Sculpture Exhibition the artists will deliver their work to the predetermined sites within
the gallery. These Sculptures will remain there for a year at which time the artist will have the
option to put their work up for auction. Proceeds from the auction will go to the artist with a
percentage retained by the Pineapple Grove Artwalk for management and upkeep. Artists will
also have a chance to compete for substantial cash awards.
Several factors should be noted:
1. Sculptures will be of various materials, sizes and themes, no charge to tour the Gallery.
2. Conducted tours will be available using trolleys. Stops will occur at various art sites, the
Butterfly Park, the Delray Beach location of the Miami City Ballet Company, Pineapple Town,
Creations of Pineapple Grove, Ocean City Lumber Company and others yet to be determined.
3. Several educational / instructional oppommifies will be available. Sculpture, painting and
glass blowing classes, among others will be taught by qualified instructors. Particular attention
will be paid to school children. Cooperation with magnet schools will be accomplished.
4. Special attention to Seniors and their wants, needs and desires will be a significant part of
the Pineapple Grove Artwalk Project. Many volunteers will be utilized to aid in guided tours
and as instructor aids. Multi - language tours will be available.
5. This project will produce jobs in the maintenance, clerical, administrative, teaching and
security areas as well as additional oppommities in retailing, restaurant and entertainment.
6. Special events such as Dixie - Land jazz, string quartets, circus acts, ballet, classic auto
shows, design competitions and opera will be available throughout the year.
7. The primary purpose of the Pineapple Grove Artwalk Project is to entertain, stimulate,
educate and provide a means for all to relax and have fun and enjoyment.
