Looking for something to do? Check out the Cultural Council in Downtown Lake Worth

For information about parking, current exhibits, and the Roe Green Uniquely Palm Beach store at the Cultural Council use this link. This latest news comes from Jan Sjostrom, the arts editor at the Palm Beach Daily News, aka The Shiny Sheet:

     The vacant lot behind the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County’s building in Lake Worth soon could be transformed into an outdoor sculpture garden and concert site. [emphasis added]
     Plans call for the 10,125-square-foot property just south of the council’s building to be developed in phases as money is raised, said Rena Blades, president and CEO.
     Once the project is completed, the space will feature pads and lighting for large-scale sculptures by Palm Beach County artists, a small covered stage where local artists will perform, an oval-shaped walkway, a paved area in the center for tented events, landscaping, signage and a perimeter fence.

     Many of the council’s Lobby Desk concerts and Open Mic nights have been packed, including two recent performances by Wellington jazz singer Yvette Norwood-Tiger.
     She’s been trying to play more concerts rather than bar and restaurant gigs, and is pleased by the council’s plans. “I think it’s going to be wonderful,” she said.
