Description[edit]
The Continuum fair began on January 22–26, 2014, in the historical Anthony building in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida. The Continuum was orchestrated by Trina-Slade Burks and Anthony Burks of “ATB Fine Art Group Inc ” in community partnership with Lee Ann Lester of Art Palm Beach Next Level Fairs.
Continuum is fostering a new exhibition model with community partners, which respond to the demands of the emerging collector eager to know the new values of art, and keen to contribute to a change in the relationships and practices of acquisition of work.[3] The Continuum fair took a unique multi-faceted approach to the exhibition by using music, dance, and poetry to enhance the visual experience of the art . Within the continuing spirit of creative and artistic renewal, the fair featured, top graffiti artist of the area.[4] They created an interactive wooden sculptural mural structure along the Clematis Street corridor in Downtown West Palm Beach.[5] The fair profiled the top artists in the Southeast Florida region. The dynamic fair programming generated a wealth of interest from an increasingly diverse audience base.
The City of West Palm Beach in which The Continuum fair is located, has in recent years, experienced a creative renaissance, especially in the visual arts. The area is home to many of the world's top art collectors.[6] The city continues to attract international attention and more newcomers in terms of artists, galleries and curators. In 2014, Art Palm Beach began partnering with the community in order further facilitate the growth of Palm Beach County into an international arts destination.[7]
