Art Palm Beach, the area’s longest running art fair, returns this week to the Palm Beach County Convention Center.  This year, it is a larger and completely revamped show, with a very close relationship to the LA Art Show, which makes it more dynamic and state-of-the-art.  

The 2023 edition of Art Palm Beach includes 80 art galleries, including the South Florida debut of DIVERSEartLA.  DIVERSEartLA seeks to engage local communities and drive social change through art; it includes immersive art experiences, and the disruption of patterns of thinking, associations, and ways of existing in the world.  All this is done through exhibitions and performances.  This is very intriguing to this writer, and definitely worth checking out!

And yes, you might be thinking “this is in West Palm Beach” but Brightline offers train service to bring you here from Fort Lauderdale in 42 minutes flat (74 minutes to Miami,) and you can walk from the station to the fair, and lots of other restaurants and shops.When you go: Art Palm Beach begins on Wednesday, January 25th, 2023 for VIP ticket holders, and on the 26th for general admission.  Palm Beach County Convention Center, 650 Okeechobee Blvd., West Palm Beach FL 33401.  You can pre-purchase your tickets here.
