The City of Lake Worth: A Vortex of Creativity

Create Date and Bean Scene Events: A Boost to City of Lake Worth's  Popularity!


Hundreds of people showed up for back to back events; artists, chefs, locals, tourist, and some first time visitors!
Here are some pictures of Vortex of Creativity that engulfed the city!

ARIST PLAY DATE:
Artists Play Date, the brainchild of AnnaMaria Windisch-Hunt and Rolando Chang Barrero, was created 
as fun event to gather local creatives to come out and literally play together and get to know one another.
The ARTIST PLAY DAtE (a private invitation only group on facebook) is 754 members strong at last count; 
the group continues to grow and is expected to be "1000 Strong."
Contact: Rolando Chang Barrero to join the page, or ask anyone of your artist friends for an invite.

The first PLAY DATE was called Create Date and was held in Lake Worth along Lucerne Avenue that 
has blossomed into what is fast becoming recognized as the Palm Beach Fine Dining and Fine Art Corridor. 

Lucerne Avenue has it's own hash tag #LuxuryOnLucerne and landing page on Goggle+ 

The Bean Scene:

VEGAN CHILI COOK-OFF competition & MEGA ANIMAL ADOPTION CHARITY EVENT was organized as a benefit  for the food pantry Community Caring Center of Boynton Beach and Saving Grace and Her Furry Friends Dog Rescue. The vegan chili was delicious and satisfying to say the least. Suppprtors got to vote for your favorite plant-based chili from top area chefs.

The winners: 
Judges Choice: Grommet's Tavern & Eats - Juno Beach, People's Choices, 3rd place: Suri Tapas Bar in Lake Worth, 2nd place: 4th Generation Organic Market & Cafe and in FIRST PLACE: Rahein Jones and team at The New Vegan. 

The Bean Scene continues: Interested in going vegetarian or vegan? We'll launch a month's worth of activities at the Chili Cook-off to support you in a 30-day challenge. A "Best of Vegan in Palm Beach County" line-up featuring everything from vegan cooking classes to movie screenings, social meet-ups at the best vegan restaurants and much more. Contact: BeanScene2015

  

 Craft beer will be available. Meet with our vendors to learn more about vegan and pet-friendly resources in the area. Dogs and cats from multiple organizations will be available for adoption to loving homes.

Pedro Carlos Ortiz was born in the province of Matanzas, Cuba, on October 20, 1932. He began his university studies in architecture at the University of Havana.

"What I paint are images and shadows that emerge from within me and that become realities."
-- P.Ortiz

The eclectic style of artist Pedro Carlos Ortiz
transports the viewer on a journey from the working class neighborhoods of mid-twentieth century Cuba to the sun-splashed streets of Madrid. Using surreal oils and inks, he conjures the rituals and mysticism of healers and mediums who practiced a mix of indigenous African religions and Roman Catholicism, while conversely, he employs bright colors and bold strokes to evoke the purity and spirituality of the
Madonna and San Rafael.

Ortiz, master of many media, possessed an extraordinary sensitivity and simplicity. His works capture the great love he devoted to his beloved homeland, a place he never abandoned in his heart and mind.

" I collected Pedro for over 10 years and have a collection of 15 painting hanging in my home. 
I love the magic they add to my walls and my collection".

--Evy Baird Willis, Private Collector of Cuban Art and French Post Impressionist Art.




Excerpt from letter from the Estate of Pedro Carlos Ortiz to Rolando Chang Barrero.


" I am honored that Rolando Chang Barrero has chosen my Husband's work to
begin his series on Cuban Masters from the early Vanguard to the Present.
Although my husband was a successful architect, as well as, a fine artist here in the United States I can honestly say his art gave him his greatest satisfaction. Pedro Loved creating and
sharing his art with as many as possible. 

He was honored in his lifetime with several awards and Honors but there was not greater accomplishment to him than to place his paintings and acquire new Collectors.  I am certain that Pedro would be thrilled to introduce his work to a new audience in Palm Beach County. Again I thank Rolando for this great opportunity and Homage".--Irma Ortiz, wife of the late Perdro Carlos Ortiz
