This May, The Cultural Council for Palm Beach County is thrilled to welcome back MOSAIC—the Month of Shows, Art, Ideas, and Culture—and Palm Beach County Open Studios. Now in its eighth year, the MOSAIC celebration allows tourists and locals alike to experience The Palm Beaches’ arts and cultural scene with perks all month long, including BOGO (buy one, get one) deals and discounts of up to 50% on admission, retail, and special experiences. From stunning sanctuaries like the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens to hands-on learning at the Cox Science Center and Aquarium, MOSAIC provides endless opportunities for discovery and connection.
“MOSAIC has become a cherished tradition for us each year,” says Dave Lawrence, President and CEO of the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County. “It shines a well-deserved spotlight on our incomparable cultural organizations, making them even more accessible and giving both locals and visitors a chance to celebrate the artistic heritage that makes our county so special. Programs like MOSAIC are vital in elevating our cultural landscape and reinforcing The Palm Beaches as Florida’s Cultural Capital®.”
As part of the celebration, a series of collectible lapel pins will be available at select MOSAIC attractions, along with fun watercolor activity cards, while supplies last. Visitors are encouraged to collect them all! The pins and watercolor cards draw inspiration from this year’s official MOSAIC artwork called “Our County TOONS.” Palm Beach County-based artist Jeanne Martin, a graphic artist, illustrator, and animator, was commissioned by the Cultural Council to create this year’s visual ode to The Palm Beaches’ art and culture scene. Martin’s illustration shows a family exploring numerous activities and venues around the county, featuring native wildlife, art and artisans, performers, and of course, the beach.
Also returning this May, Palm Beach County Open Studios will feature more than 100 artists across The Palm Beaches on May 17 and 18 from 10 AM to 3 PM each day. Visitors can explore personal studio spaces and creative hubs like Lighthouse ArtCenter, The Peach, TBA Tattoos (the event’s first participating tattoo studio), as well as the Cultural Council’s headquarters, where Martin will showcase her work alongside two other local artists.
With a self-guided tour format, Palm Beach County Open Studios provides guests with the opportunity to meet with local artists, witness their creative process, and purchase original art right from the source. Artists will present pieces across a wide range of mediums that cater to any art enthusiast—from traditional techniques like oil painting to contemporary expressions like spray paint and digital art. Visitors will also find examples of sculpture, metal and woodworking, ceramic, and even wearable art.
“Now in its third year, Open Studios demonstrates the profound impact of connecting with local artists to support their work and strengthen community ties. These interactions not only provide artists with valuable exposure but also foster a deeper appreciation for the creativity that drives our region’s cultural growth,” says Lawrence.
With over 30 limited-time offers, May is the perfect time for visitors of all ages – from families to solo travelers to couples looking for date-night ideas -- to explore The Palm Beaches’ flourishing arts and culture scene.
