HotWorks’ second annual Palm Beach Fine Art Show takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., February 27 and 28, at Palm Beach Outlets, in West Palm Beach. Produced by the same company that hosts the Boca Raton Fine Art Show (voted as one of the top 100 juried art shows in America), the Palm Beach Fine Art Show brings high-quality, juried fine arts and crafts with all work original and personally handmade by the artist in the show.

Totally outdoors with COVID-19 safety precautions in place, including wide aisles, booths minimum six-feet apart, social distancing, hand sanitizing stations, and face coverings recommended, the original visual arts and crafts created by award-winning artists from around the world include paintings, clay, glass, sculpture, fiber, wood, jewelry and more—something for everyone in all price ranges. Great food from local area restaurants and music add to the ambience.

The associated 501c3 nonprofit arm, Institute for the Arts & Education, focuses on visual arts, cultural diversity, community enrichment and fostering art education among youth. The Budding Artist Competition, for ages 9 to 19 (grades 6 to 12), encourages students to enter their original art which is publicly displayed the entire weekend. Presented at the show will be $250 Youth Art Awards and each youth art winner will also receive the same two-foot-long colorful ribbon that professional artists receive (sponsor sought in this area).

Free admission. Free parking. Optional donation supports Institute for the Arts & Education, Inc. (ArtsAndEducationInc.org). For more information, visit HotWorks.org. Painting by Julio Garcia.
