What were the Goals •Association between Cultural Institutions •Connections between Cultures: Old & New •30 Minute Walking Tour around the Civic Core •A Very Unique Opportunity for Delray Beach –National Model and Self Reality
In the tiniest of geographies, the Cultural Loop reminds everyone how close we all really are to each other. Through just one lunch hour, just one morning dog walk or just one evening stroll, anyone can discover a little bit of everyone who is sharing this place called Delray Beach. The Cultural Loop demonstrates that Delray’s "new urbanism" is not an isolated oasis, but a real place with all attributes of life.
