Pascual Bartolo and Boynton Beach High Students

"Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength"-Arnold Schwarzenegger


Renda Writer
"Be as you wish to seem"-Socrates

Patrice Simmons

" It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
-Theodore Roosevelt

Marcos Conde
"There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle." -Albert Einstein


Melissa Martinez

"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars."- Khalil Gibran

The ActivistArtiststA Bay Gates Project began in mid 2011 to the sound of a local santero playing his conga drum while artist Chan Shepherd created a brown skinned Babalú Ayé a/k/a San Lázaro to the bay gate of the recently opened ActivistArtistA Gallery at what is now recognized as the Boynton Beach Art District. 

Rolando Chang Barrero initiated the outdoor exhibition project with the assistance of Boynton Beach's Public Arts Administrator, Debby Coles-Dobay, who was instrumental in getting an addendum to allow the murals at the Boynton Beach Art District located in Boynton Beach's Industrial Park area.

SunSentinel by Jan Engoran, October 27, 2015

Artists for Climate Action, including many from Boynton Beach, marched in Miami on Oct. 14 with the local chapter of the South Florida Climate Action Coalition as a follow up to the People's Climate March in New York City last October.
Working out of HackLab in Boynton Beach, the artists mobilized and created a large illuminated sun that they carried aloft during the march. Read full story here SunSentinel TODAY
"Local artists, including Rolando Chang Barrero, founder of the Boynton Beach Arts District, snapped photos of the recent high tides, as part of the King Tides Project, an international initiative of citizen scientists capturing data and images showing what future sea levels will be and what is at risk.During the recent supermoon, Barrero went out with his camera and caught images of flooded streets along East Ocean Avenue and the Boynton Beach Marina and of the Palm Beach Yacht Club on Flagler Drive in West Palm Beach."
