The Urban Arts Lofts (UAL) consists of 12, brand new, two-story live/work lofts in the heart of the City. The three essential elements of this federally funded project included: style, sustainability and affordability. The Urban Arts Lofts provides workspace along with affordable housing for artists. These lots were once blighted and underutilized but the development of energy efficient/green units has helped market the City and given a real focus on setting the standard for arts and culture.

Downtown Lake Worth, long known for its charming eccentricities in art deco architecture, culture and people has opened its arms to a rebirth of some of the finest visual arts, experimental music forms, dance and theater groups. This is reflected in the many locally-owned boutiques, art galleries, vintage shops, and specialty and jewelry stores. Flamingo Clay Studio, Lake Worth Art League Gallery Art Link International, Clay Glass Metal Stone Cooperative Gallery, Bruce Webber Galleries, Maryanne Webber Galleries, Margot Stein Gallery, Artefact Pardo Gallery, McMow Art Glass, Art Gallery Designs, Shoe String Designs, Local Smoking Domain,  and Artisans on the Ave. are just a few of the participating galleries.

It is the season for shopping, bargain hunting and finding those special gifts.  The Merchants of Downtown (MOD Squad) of Lake Worth are giving The Rickie Report readers 10 new reasons to shop Lake Worth on Black Friday and Small Business Saturday.  More details about sales and events are in this article.

Merchants of Downtown : Lake Worth

The MOD Squad

Ten NEW Reasons to Shop Lake Worth

Black Friday and Small Business Saturday

All Day and All Evening

Friday, November 29 & Saturday, November 30

Small towns often suffer during the holiday season, deserted by the masses for the large malls; lured by glossy ads and non-stop commercials.  The Merchants and Restaurants of Downtown Lake Worth (The MOD Squad) are fighting back.  Downtown Lake Worth vows to take back the crowds with extraordinary wares, great pricing, quality merchandise and exceptional food and entertainment.

Stop by The Bees Knees!

Top Ten reasons to shop Downtown Lake Worth on Black Friday and Small Business Saturday

1.  You pay local merchant prices rather than the high mark-ups of the malls. Most of shops are mom and pop owned.

2.  There are unique, one of a kind gifts rather than the mass-produced products one sees coming and going; those gifts that are everywhere and on every commercial. Our gifts stand out as special.

3.  You will find Artist-run galleries with affordable works of art for the home, the table, to wear and to admire.  Works of art direct from the artist to you.

4.  Specialty shops abound with gifts from all over the world and gifts made right here in the United States.  Teas, soaps, jewelry, toys, costumes, decorations, chocolates, clothing. Find unusual gifts for your pets as well.

5.  Forget the food courts with their unhealthy trans-fat foods. Lake Worth has bakeries, café after café and restaurant after restaurant for you to stop into, rest your weary toes and gear up for another round of shopping.

6.  Stop for a music break on the streets as each corner has local musicians, from folk to blues to jazz to Caribbean drumming.  Have your caricature painted, or watch artists as they create unique works.

7.  Lake Worth is known for its shops filled with collectables and antiques.  They come in every price range.  For decades folks have been discovering Lake Worth and its unusual antiquing experience.

8.  Tis the holiday season to wander through an Americana, Old Fashioned town. Window shop, enjoy the competition between shop keepers to make their window the most festive,  see a wonderful movie, visit the theater and feel like you have fallen into a modern day Norman Rockwell painting.

9.  Parking is ample and free with four hour limits during the day and unlimited late afternoon and evenings.  Bring your treasures to the car and go back for more. Lake Worth has a great Sheriff’s Department patrolling and protecting your purchases.

10.  You pockets will have plenty of green protruding when you leave the scene. Use that to take the kids to the beach!

Come and Shop at the Carousel!

The Merchants of Downtown Lake Worth is a group that meets weekly to make Downtown Lake Worth a welcoming destination for neighbors and visitors alike.  The MOD Squad, as they fondly refer to themselves, organizes block by block bringing activity, unity and camaraderie to the Downtown corridor.  For additional information contact JClay6@aol.com.
