<strong>April</strong> 7, 6 to 9 pm<br />
James Blumenfeld and Susan Romaine,<br />
the principals behind The Meridian<br />
Art Experience today announced<br />
that the mAe will feature Our Delray<br />
Artists throughout the month of <strong>April</strong>.<br />
The Our Delray Artists exhibition<br />
will feature 10 of the city’s leading<br />
creative figures, including Steve<br />
Blackwood, Tim Carter, Ellyn Chafetz,<br />
Lucia Gomez, Brenda Gordon, Amelie<br />

Located in Delray Beach’s bustling<br />
Pineapple Grove Arts District, the new<br />
gallery is aimed at making the middle<br />
art market approachable, affordable<br />
and experiential by featuring a collection<br />
of emerging and mid-career fine<br />
contemporary artists.<br />
“At the mAe, we believe there is a<br />
vibrant, but under-served community<br />
of art enthusiasts who are interested<br />
in fine art that isn’t homogenized,” says<br />
Blumenfeld. “They are seeking to learn<br />
more and are hungry for experiential<br />
ways to do so. In fact, they are eager to<br />
engage in the fine art of living with art.<br />
