Inspirations + ART PALM BEACH

logo-header

Happy short week!

Hope everyone enjoys their day off on Monday! Happy MLK Day.

Here are great and inspiring websites- if you ever have anything to suggest, please say so and I’ll add it to our continual blog roll of inspirational art + design websites.

1. Colossal: Art + Design (great for daily inspiration)

2. Imprint (EXCELLENT for additional reading from renowned designers

3. Abduzeedo I love it already for its inspiration links, tutorials and even video interviews with up and coming designers

4. LOCAL INSPIRATION: Art Palm Beach + ART SYNERGY NEXT weekend! (Jan. 23-27)

Formerly known as Palm Beach 3 – Art Palm Beach is our closest version of the Art Basel fairs in Miami. The contemporary international art fair will be open from Friday – Monday at the Palm Beach Convention Center (across from CityPlace – where PBSC hosts graduation). The website says admission $20, but there might be a student rate, bring your ID. Plus, tons of artist talks, etc.

Extra bonus? I am working at the Whitespace Collection booth… Stop by and visit!  I will be at the Whitespace Collection booth on Sunday from 12 – 4 p.m. Come say hi! 

At the same time – Art Synergy will be happening in local art walks! A new program this year, these pop up fairs look exciting! Go and check out some art in Lake Worth LULA Arts District, Northwood Village, South Dixie’s Antique Row or the Worth Avenue Art Walk.

So much to do….

Unique presentations

Multimedia presentations are everywhere… From interactive Prezi, to Pecha Kucha (20 images, 20 seconds – watch a few! Pecha Kucha shows “The art of concise presentations”) to the above simple, graphic and interesting video. I loved the message on connectivity and isolation. Anyone ever feel this way?
