Tour Spady Museum
Bringing People Together In Celebration of Black History
Museum Hours
Tuesday – Saturday 11am – 4pm
Black people arrived in Delray Beach to settle and build their family legacies in the late 1800s. They migrated to this area from the Bahamas and from North Florida and the coastal communities of the Carolinas and Georgia and similar areas.
In the deeply segregated south where Jim Crow laws were in force, entrepreneurship was a necessary part of survival for black people. Delray Beach had a strong and thriving “colored town” since it’s birth.
Visit the Spady Museum to learn about AIN’T NO LIMITS. The newest exhibit at the Spady Cultural Heritage Museum is a reciprocal ekphrastic style of exhibition pairing 4 artist with 4 writers. This exhibition contains new and original visual art and written word that depicts and describes our need for more rest, more freedom, more pleasure.
