The Cultural Council for Palm Beach County’s MOSAIC (Month of Shows, Art, Ideas and Culture) is returning this month for its seventh year, highlighting the top arts and cultural destinations across the Palm Beaches.
Offers throughout May include “buy one, get one” deals, half-off discounts, and special experiences. Participating organizations range from the Palm Beach Zoo and Conservation Society to the Cox Science Center and Aquarium, and the Norton Museum of Art.
“We’re thrilled to expand the experience to give visitors a unique opportunity to be a part of the vibrant arts and culture scene in The Palm Beaches,” Cultural Council President and CEO Dave Lawrence said. “With over 90 local artists participating and over 25 cultural organizations offering exclusive deals, MOSAIC is bigger and better than ever, and we are so proud to share the experience with locals and visitors alike.”
The Cultural Council also is expanding Palm Beach County Open Studios from a half-day in 2023 to two days, Saturday and Sunday, May 18 and 19, from noon to 5 p.m. More than 90 artists will welcome visitors on self-guided tours into their personal studios and art hubs, including Arts Warehouse in Delray Beach, Zero Empty Spaces in Palm Beach Gardens and Boca Raton, and The Peach in West Palm Beach. Expect to see painting, glass blowing, photography, jewelry making, sculpture, printmaking and more.
The Cultural Council has commissioned Allan Creary, a West Palm Beach postmodernism artist, to create the official MOSAIC 2024 artwork, which, along with other works, will be displayed at the council’s headquarters in downtown Lake Worth Beach.
