CityPlace
Welcomes CONTINUUM WPB Arts
Location: (700 S. Rosemary Avenue Ste. 120, WPB, FL.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.
(January 6, 2017) – Approaching
its fourth year, the vision of this pop up multi-media art fair held in
the City of WPB during ArtPalmBeach Week exhibiting regional South Florida
artists has been very successful. Over the last three years, over 150 South
Florida artists have exhibited at this art fair. This year, 52 artists from
Brevard County to Dade will be showcased at this alternative fine art fair.
CONTINUUM
WPB Arts started as a grassroots effort of ATB Fine Artists & Designers LLC’s
husband & wife team Anthony
& Trina Burks, fellow artist and art activist Craig McInnis and a team of local artists
from the Palm Beach County area. With the assistance of the West Palm Beach Arts &
Entertainment District as well as many sponsors such as PNC Bank and Bombay
Sapphire, the last three years put this little engine that could on top very
quickly as the must see of art fairs in South Florida in the new year.
CityPlace, one of Palm Beach County’s most
favorite shopping and entertainment destinations is welcoming CONTINUUM WPB in
2017. This move was made as a decision due to the fast changes in the real
estate market. Curator and founder Trina Slade-Burks states: “When the idea for
CONTINUUM first came about, we would seek locations that were empty for long
periods of time. Raphael Clemente and his team would choose a spot that could
eventually be activated by a potential business owner. Pop-ups bring an
opportunity for this to happen. We are proud to say that CONTINUUM as brought
those opportunities for leasing agreements because of these activations.”
One of the great
things about this new move is the fact that CONTINUUM WPB will be close to
partners ArtSynergy and ArtPalmBeach who will be at the Palm Beach County
Convention Center. Partner, Rolando Chang Barrero commented about the new move:
“I think it's great! I get to attend more events since all I have to do is
cross the street from Art Palm Beach. With the richness of all the programs I
can just drop in and then return to the convention center without much ado”
CONTINUUM WPB
Arts mission has always been to collaborate different artistic disciplines
while enhancing the community. It

based charity. This year’s charity is Resource Depot, which will be supported by CONTINUUM’s

painted sneakers painted by local artists. Some of the other returning events include:
