Old School Square - the City’s epicenter for the Cultural Arts

Delray Beach is known for its unique historic character and dynamic arts scene and exciting nightlife, all of which draw millions of visitors each year. Old School Square (OSS) offers the city world‐class events, exhibits and cultural opportunities. This award‐winning, nationally recognized cultural center successfully combined historic preservation and the arts to become the catalyst for the 1990's renaissance of downtown Delray Beach.

Located across nearly 6‐acres on the corner of Atlantic and Swinton avenues in downtown Delray Beach, the restored early 20th century school buildings (listed on the National Register of Historic Places) house the Cornell Art Museum (c. 1913), the Crest Theatre (c. 1925) and a vintage gymnasium. The Pavilion, which opened in 2002, hosts outdoor concerts and festivals.
