About

Connecting our community to the world through the Arts.

This vision drives all of our decision making. Our programs at Arts Garage bring local, emerging artists and established global performers into our South Florida multi-cultural community — students and adults, locals and tourists, people of all ages, income levels, backgrounds and who share a love of the arts.

Diversity is a hallmark of all our programming at Arts Garage. We provide multicultural, diverse programming that promotes inclusion in the arts.

#DiscoverDiversity isn’t just our tagline: it is the cornerstone of our outreach programs, staffing, and marketing.

OUR MISSION

Arts Garage delivers innovative, diverse, meaningful and accessible visual and performing arts experiences to Delray Beach and the South Florida community.

Music

From Grammy Award winning musicians to emerging, local artists, Arts Garage hosts performers on our main stage, the Stuart & Shelby Theatre, that represent a broad diversity of cultures. While our venue is perhaps best known for our Jazz and Blues programming, we also have a vibrant calendar full of other genres including Rock, Soul, World, Alternative, Hip Hop and Country.

Visual Arts

The Marshall Family Foundation Gallery at Arts Garage exhibits emerging visual artists from the Delray Beach area. All artists have a reception, aligned with Delray Beach’s monthly Art Walk, drawing people to their exhibit; Arts Garage provides the artists with 70% of revenues earned from the sale of their work.

Arts Education

With both adult and children’s arts education programming, Arts Garage provides a variety of opportunities for locals to grow their talents and knowledge of the Visual & Performing Arts. From theatre, drumline, and chorus to art and dance, Arts Garage provides meaningful instruction for all ages.

Comedy

Comedians from South Florida and beyond share the stage at Arts Garage. Our comedy series features touring comedians with famed stand-up specials, alongside emerging, local talents. Our monthly comedy nights provide up-and-coming comedians with a space to bring humor to the Delray Beach community.

Theatre

Arts Garage stages theatre that represents new work, socially relevant content and community driven performances. While we do not host a traditional theatre season, we continue to provide opportunities for thought-provoking and innovative work.

Volunteers

Our volunteer programs not only provide extra hands to help us fulfill our mission, they also enable even more members of our community to engage with the arts. Our teen volunteer program provides young people who are passionate about the visual and performing arts an opportunity to earn community service hours doing what they love. Adult volunteers enjoy opportunities to earn hours that can be used for Arts Garage performance tickets.

Equity Statement

Arts Garage connects our community to the world through the arts. This vision is founded in our commitment to equity in our organization’s policies and practices.

We recognize that our society does not often equitably provide access to the arts or a place at the table during the decision making process. Arts Garage believes that equity is vital to the arts and to our community. We are committed to ensuring that Arts Garage celebrates diversity in thought, culture, experience and perspective to maintain an organization where all people can contribute.
