Thief swapped out price tags at Lake Worth Art Gallery

Thief stole art from Lake Worth Gallery

Gary Kroman is a Palm Beach County artist who sells his work in a boutique downtown. On Aug. 10, Kroman said a man entered the business on 700 block of Lake Avenue in Lake Worth Beach and switched price tags from his gallery.

Now, Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office deputies are in the hunt for the suspect. They said the thief took $6,500 worth of Kroman’s artwork and only paid about $50.

“It feels like someone punched you in the stomach and the air went out of you," stated Kroman. "It took a lot time to do, it’s an important piece.” [WPTV]

This YouTube has terrible audio from Mr. Kroman but you will get the idea of what happened to him and photo of thief.

Hunter's Art Dealer Reveals More WH Lies

Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., leading the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, told Newsmax on Tuesday that testimony from Hunter Biden's art dealer showed he had no contact with the White House about ethical guidelines, even though the White House said publicly they were put in place.

The art dealer, George Berges, also testified Tuesday in front of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, which Comer chairs, that Hunter Biden knew the identities of 70% of those who purchased the art, even though the White House had said the president's son wouldn't be told who bought his art.

"No. 1, they're selling access to influential people, as well as bad people and bad countries," Comer said. "We don't know what those people are getting in return. [No. 2], we also know that Joe Biden has not been truthful about any aspect.

"We're going to bring in more people, but every time we interview someone, every time we get a new batch of bank records, every time we get access to more emails, we find more lies by this White House, more lies by the Bidens, and more ethics violations by the Biden family."

Two Lake Worth Commissioners Honored for Environmental Actions

 

The Monthly Changing Window at Flamingo Clay Studio

Honors Three Prominnent Ecologists

(Two of whom are City Commissioners)

J Street Junction, Lake Worth Beach, Celebrates   “Earth Month”

Lake Worth Beach is populated with neighborhoods and neighbors who care about the earth, climate change and ecology.  From solar panels, butterfly gardens, beach clean-ups and food choices, individuals in this little community work hard, doing their share to keep this planet alive.

“Think Globally, Act Locally,” has become a motto many observe, and the theme for the monthly changing window of the Flamingo Clay Studio at 15 South J Street, Lake Worth Beach.  During the first weekend of each month, artist Saya Gayoso creates a themed window reflecting the themes of the months and the seasons.  This month’s window honors Greta Thunberg (Think Globally) and two local scientists/ecologists (Act Locally) who have made their life’s work saving our enormous natural resources.

In Lake Worth Beach, two residents, city commissioners, have made saving the planet their life’s work. For this reason, it is fitting that they are honored for their decades of tireless works. 

 

Dr. Christopher McVoy is a soil and wetland scientist who has devoted most of his career to scientific research in support of Everglades restoration.  Along with a colleague, he operates a research platform in the Everglades to better understand how the flow of water and sediments make the Everglades unique.  Dr. McVoy’s earlier research, published as a book by the University of Florida, documented the Everglades as they were originally, before we started draining them.  As Vice Mayor of Lake Worth Beach, Dr. McVoy focuses on solar power, enhancing our historic character, better conditions for bicyclists and walkers and being a voice for the under-represented.

Reinaldo Diaz is our Lake Worth Waterkeeper.  He advocates for the Lake Worth Lagoon and its watershed, a coastal estuary running along the eastern edge of Palm Beach County in South Florida.  The watershed, which is considered the northern reach of the Everglades, extending from Lake Okeechobee to our famous beaches.  He is currently tracking and tagging the Horseshoe Crab, addressing population and breeding concerns.  He works with an ecology posse, a group of children known as the LaGoonies.  A LaGoony is a person who acknowledges their ecological role and understands that it is through learning and experience that one can envision a better tomorrow.

J Street Junction  is located in Downtown Lake Worth Beach.  It is the first block east of Dixie Highway and the first block South of Lake Avenue. A wide and quiet street, it is home base for artists and musicians with two art galleries, an artist studio, and three major music venues. Street Festivals, have  become the norm for large crowds of art, music and food lovers.

Palm Beach Art Dealer Pleads Guilty

Crooks in Palm Beach? Oh no!

A Florida art dealer has pleaded guilty to laundering money from an art fraud scheme

said the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida (USAO)

Daniel Elie Bouaziz, a Palm Beach art dealer, plead guilty last week to laundering money derived from his scheme to sell counterfeit artwork.

According to the USAO, Bouaziz owns art galleries in South Florida, including Danieli Fine Art at 226A Worth Avenue in Palm Beach County and Galerie Danieli at 230 Worth Avenue in Palm Beach County.

Specifically, on or about Oct. 25, 2021, the release said, Bouaziz sold counterfeit artwork to a customer, including pieces purportedly by artist Andy Warhol. Bouaziz reportedly told the customer that the works that he was selling, for between $75,000 and $240,000, were authentic Warhol pieces, and that some were signed by the artist.

Hunter's "Grifting"

Too obnoxious to ignore--Hunter's Grifting

"Even dutiful shills for former President Barack Obama have to admit that Hunter Biden’s grifting has become too obnoxious to ignore.

Walter Shaub, the former ethics chief under Obama, called Hunter’s upcoming art auction a pretty obvious front for influence-peddling — or worse".

It has been said that Hunter will not even know who has bought his 'art.' Sort of like trying to make us believe that Joe didn't know Hunter's business partners.

Lake Worth, Fl – CANVAS Outdoor Museum Show expanding to Lake Worth

CANVAS OUTDOOR MUSEUM SHOW EXPANDS TO DOWNTOWN LAKE WORTH LAKE WORTH, Fla. (October 17, 2017) ---

CANVAS OUTDOOR MUSEUM TM SHOW, the nation’s largest outdoor museum show, is expanding to the City of Lake Worth this year. Artists from around the globe will assemble in Downtown Lake Worth for one-week from November 26 – Dec. 2 to transform the city’s streets into a world-class outdoor museum. Blank walls will be re-imagined with colossal murals, and monumental shipping containers, art installations and interactive sculptures will be showcased in high-profile locations within walking distance of the Downtown corridor.

“CANVAS is leaving a permanent footprint for visitors to enjoy year-round. It’s very exciting to bring this caliber of public art to the heart of Downtown Lake Worth to define a thriving arts district,” said CANVAS Outdoor MuseumTM Show founder and curator Nicole Henry. “When curating this year’s show, artists were selected based on their innovative ideas and interactive components to their work. We really want visitors to experience and interact with the art around the city.”

Participating artists will embrace this year’s theme of “unity” by expressing how art brings people together when there is so much division in the world. Visitors will be able to interact with artists working in real time to create public masterpieces. CANVAS will announce the artists and locations leading up to the live artwork.

The City of Lake Worth, Lake Worth Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County worked collaboratively to bring this event to the city. Additional donations will be provided by 120 SPACE and Florida Food & Farm.

“We are very excited to welcome the expansion of CANVAS to the City of Lake Worth”, said City of Lake Worth Mayor Pam Triolo. “Since its inception, Lake Worth has been the place in Palm Beach County where art is created. CANVAS joins our Street Painting Festival and Biblioarte in attracting world renowned artists to our streets and continuing our artistic vision. We couldn’t be more excited and honored!”

The City, CRA and Cultural Council are also working on finalizing an Arts & Cultural Master Plan for Downtown Lake Worth, which will be the first of its kind in Palm Beach County when it is released early next year. Adding CANVAS to the city’s lineup of major cultural events supports the strategic plan.

“We are thrilled to welcome CANVAS to our City, said Madlyn McKendry, Chair of the Lake Worth CRA. “This event highlights our continued redevelopment efforts that include projects with an artistic flair. Along with our local mural program, the new Hatch 1121 space and ethnically diverse events CANVAS and add a new element of creativity to our downtown canvas.”

CANVAS will also bring an important tourism component to the City of Lake Worth and to Palm Beach County.

“Palm Beach County has several unique arts districts that attract visitors from around the world,” said Rena Blades, president and CEO of the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County. “The addition of CANVAS will strengthen the Downtown Lake Worth district and make it a greater tourism destination. It will also bring high-profile international artists to the city - each with their own following - that only adds to the excitement.”

Visitors are encouraged to download the free CANVAS Outdoor MuseumTM app from the Apple or Android stores for a self-guided tour of this year’s exhibition. A map of exhibit locations as well as artist information can be found at canvasmuseum.org.
