Art and tech combine at Boynton Beach’s 3rd biennial International
Kinetic Art Exhibit and Symposium, Feb. 3-5, 2017. The City’s signature
event gives attendees opportunities to interact with more than 75
kinetic artworks, have one-of-a-kind visual art experiences and
purchase kinetic art. During the weekend event, downtown Boynton
Beach, from Boynton Beach Boulevard to SE 1st Ave., and along east
Ocean Avenue, from Seacrest Boulevard to Federal Highway, will come
alive with art that moves. These works include fine art pieces powered
by solar, wind, lights, robotics, water, gravity and more. The event will
also feature kinetic-inspired exhibits, community projects, meet-and-
greets with kinetic artists and a lecture series.
Kinetic art relies on movement for its effect. One of the best-known
kinetic art forms is the mobile created by sculptor, Alexander Calder.
However, modern kinetic art incorporates many forms of movement.
Some of the infinite possibilities of kinetic art will be showcased
during this exhibition. There will be a total of 16 iconic outdoor art
works by kinetic artists, featuring Tom Brewitz, Anthony Castrovono,
Kevin Duval, Paul Daniel, Craig Gray, John King, Jim LaPaso, Beju
LeJobart, Darren Miller, Stefan Radu Cretu, Don Redman, Amos
Robinson, Ron Schroer, Elayna Toby Singer, and Doug Taylor. The
artworks include solar-robotic “Moonflower,” several graceful wind-
driven kinetics like “Revelation” and “Ying Yang,” large colorful
industrial looking sculpture like the “Kiko-Cy,” the whimsical “Winds
of Wine,” a corkscrew-like kinetic artwork, and “Dudali Salsa,” a giant
dancing exhibit. Several of these kinetic artworks are already installed
in east Boynton Beach, along east Ocean Avenue, between Seacrest
Boulevard and Federal Highway.
The City’s signature event will also introduce new fine art and
technology fusions. On Saturday, February 4th and Sunday, February
5th, a Romanian kinetic artist will install an exhibit that has never been
seen before in the United States. The artwork merges art with solar
and mechanical kinetics to create a piece that is unique to Boynton
Beach. Throughout the event, attendees can view the kinetic art on a
self-guided tour, or with the aid of docent volunteers. In addition, the
event will feature more than 60 indoor kinetic art displays, ranging
from the light-activated, interactive, self-moving and motorized. There
will also be scheduled opportunities for attendees to meet many of the
artists and discuss kinetic art.
Boynton Beach’s 3rd biennial International Kinetic Art Exhibit &
Symposium also includes informative presentations for attendees to
learn more about the kinetic art form. Presenters include working
kinetic artists and educators Noam Ben-Jacov, Eleonora Nicoletti,
Anthony Castrovono, Ron Jaffe, Stefan Radu Cretu, PhD, Ralfonso, and
Don Redman. The presenters will discuss many aspects of kinetic art,
including the history, different forms, use of technology and the future
of kinetic art.
The 3rd biennial Boynton Beach International Kinetic Art Exhibit &
Symposium concludes with an artists' awards ceremony on Sunday,
Feb. 5. For a complete schedule of events and venues, visit www.

The Bienes Center for the Arts is a state
of the art black box theater and perfor-
mance center located on the campus of
St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Ft
Lauderdale. With a focus on performing
arts education, the Center was founded
to nurture and emphasize the arts for
the students of St. Thomas Aquinas, as
well as other schools and institutions in
the area and the community at-large.
The St. Thomas Aquinas Fine Arts
programs and classes utilize the Bienes
Center facilities daily for lessons, classes,
concerts, performances, master classes,
exhibits and receptions. Programs
include the Summer Theater Academy,
open to students in grades 6--8. Many of
the daily curriculum activities are based
on the Florida State Thespian Competi-
tion standards. The program guides
aspiring young actors through the musi-
cal theater experience: from auditions
- to staging, choreography and vocals to
culminate in a showcase performance at
the end of each week. This program is
appropriate for actors with previous mu-
sical theater experience as well as begin-
ners. In addition to these programs, the
Bienes Center offers an annual series of
professional performances and events,
which are open to the public as ticketed
events. Students are always offered spe-
cial pricing/admission options.
Since opening in 2008, the Bienes Cen-
ter for the Arts at St. Thomas Aquinas
High School has continued to host and
present local, national, and international
events, performances and educational
opportunities. Some notable events
have featured Broadway Star Idina
Menzel, Latin Music Star Tito Puente Jr.,
Grammy Nominee Seraphic Fire, Florida
Grand Opera’s Young Artists, and many
other performances, educational oppor-
tunities and exhibits.

February 1, 7pm: The world famous
Glenn Miller Orchestra returns to the Bi-
enes Center for what is sure to be anoth-
er spectacular performance. Over sixty
years since the public first embraced the
successful Miller Sound, both the legend
and the music live on. The Glenn Miller
Orchestra is the most sought after big
band in the world today. Still considered
the greatest band of all time, its unique
sound is loved by almost anybody that
cares for music.
March 13, 7pm: The Capitol Steps began
as a group of Senate staffers who set out
to satirize the very people and places
that employed them. No matter who
or what is in the headlines, you can bet
the Capitol Steps will tackle both sides
of the political spectrum and all things
equally foolish.
April 11, 7pm: The amazingly gifted Flori-
da Grand Opera Young Artists take pride
in their command of the Grand Operatic
Tradition, as well as their mastery of the
style and conventions of American Musi-
cal Theater. This Young Artists Showcase
will highlight committed performances
of some of the most arrestingly beautiful
moments from both of these traditions,
and will illustrate that they have more in
common than we sometimes realize.
For more information on programs and
performances, please visit
www.bca-sta.org.
Highlights for 2017
performances include:
January 11, 7pm: The season kicks-off
with Hunter and Doe, featuring Stepha-
nie Cadman & Aaron Levigne. The
unique guitar playing and vocal agility of
Aaron, combined with Stephanie's fierce,
rhythmical footwork and her dynamic
fiddle playing, make for an explosive
duet that is breaking musical boundaries
and giving birth to a new, electric, fusion
of sound.
January 19, 7pm: Jerry Seeger performs
Demerits, Detentions & Dismissals, fea-
turing the works of slam poet champion
and teaching advocate, Taylor Mali.
Whether it’s extolling the virtues of the
profession or illustrating compassion for
a student’s suffering, the teacher guides
his “students” through the unexpected
twists and turns of the classroom.
