    Sunsport's restaurant, the Naturally Nude Cafe, is now serving with limited seating space in addition to its take out and delivery service.

    Call 561-485-5554 to place an order.

    Now people from outside Sunsport can order delicious and healthful food from the Naturally Nude Cafe through Uber-Eats. That should help people in the community become more aware of Sunsport.

    Reminder:

    Please use the appropriate containers for throwing out items. Place materials such as paper and cardboard in the yellow bins; cans, plastics except Styrofoam, juice boxes, and glass and plastic bottles in the blue bins.

    Place large items such as platforms and furniture near, but not in, the dumpster. Place only bagged garbage and small items in the dumpster. Never place plastic bags in the bins since they clog the recycling equipment.

    To help Sunsport and the environment, please deposit aluminum cans in a special bin with a round hole in the top in the main recycling area.
    • The yellow containers are for paper and flattened cardboard
    • The blue containers are for aluminum cans, glass, juice boxes, and plastics except styrofoam, bags, and utensils.
    • Deposit other trash in trash cans.
    Please secure all trash cans tightly since raccoons are skilled at opening containers and making large messes. Thanks.

    Art Gallery

    Stay Tuned!

    Watch the progress here as Sunsport's Art Gallery comes to life;

    see curator Theresa Frazier for information.

    IMPORTANT:

    We have been informed that the Indian Trail Improvement District will soon be installing a gate at the east end of the section of 40th St. in front of Sunsport (the cut through).

    Only equestrians, bicyclists, pedestrians, and emergency vehicles will be allowed through; vehicles including golf carts will not be able to pass through the gate. While this will be an inconvenience to those of us heading north to Northlake or east to SR7, it will be a benefit to those residing on Sunsport's front road since it will mean an end to traffic noise and dust.

    Midwinter Naturist Festival Program

    September is the month I organize the program for the Mid-Winter Naturist Festival. The 2021 Festival will be February 11-16. If you would like to lead workshops or activities for adults or children, please call me at (561) 254-9878 or email me at [email protected].
    I will need to know the title and a one sentence description of your workshop(s). I will also need to know which days you will be attending the Festival, hopefully the whole time, and any special needs for your workshop/activity.

    Hey What is Permaculture?

    Geoff Farmer:
    Permaculture is a philosophy of design for creating a sustainable human culture. That is, it's a way of thinking about how we set up the support systems around us: shelter, food, water, energy, society and business. Well designed permaculture systems allow us to live as a beneficial part of the ecosystems around us.

    Art & Naturism.......naturist spirited art

    How Henri Rousseau Became the Untrained Master of Surreal Jungle-Inspired Paintings

    Rousseau’s body of work was criticized by many.

    For other people, however, it evoked a sense of mystery and eccentricity.

    henri-rousseau-6
    The Dream, 1910
    With one critic remarking,

    Monsieur Rousseau paints with his feet, with a blindfold over his eyes.


    But the artist claimed he needed

    No other teacher than nature,


    and pasted all his negative reviews into his personal scrapbook.

    The artist once famously said,

    When I step into the hothouses and see the plants from exotic lands, it seems to me that I am in a dream.

    Happy Quartet
    Happy Quartet, 1902
    Le charme, 1909

    Many famous artists from history were unappreciated in their time, but French post-impressionist painter Henri Rousseau was particularly mocked by critics for his “childlike” compositions. The self-taught naïve artist became best-known for his lush jungle scenes—despite having never left France or seen a jungle first-hand. Instead, his now-iconic paintings were inspired by children's books as well as the zoo and botanical gardens of Paris.
