THE 1ST ANNUAL ART PALM BEACH SHOW
The International Contemporary And Modern Art Fair Of The Americas
Art Palm Beach makes its debut this year at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, the premier destination for conventions, trade shows, meetings and social events. With its state-of-the-art design, and cutting edge technology and services, it is the perfect venue for our inaugural show.
Palm Beach, founded by Henry Flagler, has been the winter home of America’s elite industrialists and Wall Street icons since the early 20th century. Over 24% of the world’s wealthiest families reside in South Florida from January through April. In addition to offering galleries access to America’s wealthiest towns during the winter, Palm Beach is the crown jewel of cultural life in Florida. Now home to many of New York’s leading top blue-chip galleries and international auction houses, Palm Beach has become Florida’s collector “must-see” gallery district during the winter season.
With over 100,000 square feet of exhibition space dedicated to some of the most prestigious contemporary, emerging and modern art galleries from the U.S. and around the world, Art Palm Beach will provide an exceptional platform for gallery representation, and a much anticipated art event, in The Palm Beaches.
Dear Guests,
On behalf of the City of West Palm Beach, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Art Palm Beach, the international contemporary and modern art fair of the Americas.
Art Palm Beach is internationally renown as the premiere mid-winter contemporary art fair in The Palm Beaches along Florida’s coastline by both art critics and enthusiasts. The fair taps into the booming market of Palm Beach, one of the world’s most culturally sophisticated and affluent cities, during the peak winter season.
Featuring some of the most prestigious contemporary, emerging, and modern art galleries, the show will provide a new entrée for collectors to explore and acquire the best of a broad selection of global contemporary and modern art in the vibrant cultural hub of South Florida. Geared to benefit from the current real estate boom, proximity to Miami and wealth of the Tri-County Area, Art Palm Beach 2023 will focus on presenting international modern and contemporary galleries featuring work by notable emerging artists as well as top names from the contemporary, modern, classical modern, post-war, and pop eras.
In addition to enjoying the amazing collection of art, I invite you to explore the many other treasures our City has to offer, including our spectacular downtown waterfront, our shopping districts, cultural amenities and historic neighbourhoods. Visitors to this show will find that West Palm Beach is well known for its natural beauty, its rich diversity and cultural heritage, and its art.
Last but not least, be sure to visit our website at www.wpb.org to find out more about our City and our free events.
Dear Friends,
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to our inaugural Art Palm Beach Show. As you may know, Art Palm Beach has been an important part of Palm Beach for nearly 25 years and the first and most important event of the Season, and we are honored that we are now in the position to steward this incredible show into the future.
As organizers, each year now and into the future we will strive to exceed the prior year’s offering of wonderful Modern and Contemporary Art offerings. We travel the globe to the finest art shows worldwide, in addition to frequenting the most important shows in our nation. As a result, it is our pleasure to present an international array of unique and highly esteemed exhibitors in each category of art, brought together in one spectacular event.
A show of this enormous breadth and depth presents challenges from inception through presentation and requires the coordinated efforts of a vast number of people. We would like to express our gratitude by congratulating everyone involved in making Art Palm Beach a success.
It is a true team effort that requires seamless production from our hard working office team to our technical and creative personnel, in order to bring this event to life.
Of equal importance, we would like to give a special thanks to the exhibitors who travel here so that we may enjoy spectacular works of art, rare antiques and timeless treasures. To each participant, we offer our appreciation and gratitude.
To our visitors and collectors, we extend our warmest welcome and invite you to take advantage of this cultural experience and the opportunity to meet many of the world’s most renowned and respected dealers showing the most interesting and collectible Modern and Contemporary Art available today.
We are pleased to welcome you to Art Palm Beach in 2023 and beyond.
Sincerely,
Scott Diament President/CEO Palm Beach Show Group
Welcome to Art Palm Beach 2023!
I am delighted our show is making its debut and kicking off the winter art season this year in West Palm Beach, one of the most culturally vibrant and sophisticated cities in the country.
Featuring some of the most prestigious contemporary, emerging and modern art galleries, the show will provide a new entrée for collectors to explore and acquire the best of a broad selection of global contemporary and modern art in the vibrant cultural hub of South Florida.

We are excited at the many new and ground-breaking aspects we will be bringing to this new market in our inaugural edition, notably those that have made our sister show, the LA Art Show in Los Angeles, so successful for 28 years.
For the first time in South Florida, we will be introducing a platform with a rotating group of art institutions, called DIVERSEartPB. This special curated section of the show engages local communities by generating innovative ideas and driving social change through art.
We are also pleased to have forged a first of its kind local partnership here with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® We’re honored that St. Jude is partnering with Art Palm Beach and will be our Beneficiary. We have a long-standing partnership together through our sister show in Los Angeles, the LA Art Show. Art Palm Beach donates 15% of the proceeds from the sale of all tickets to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.®
Last but not least, I would like to thank everyone who has helped make this show possible. Words cannot express my heartfelt appreciation for the support of all the exhibitors who are taking this amazing journey with us. I am also equally grateful to every member of our Art Palm Beach team, for the dedication, passion and hard work.
Enjoy the show!

ABOUT ST. JUDE CHILDREN’S RESEARCH HOSPITAL®
St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Our purpose is clear: Finding cures. Saving children.®
As the only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to children, treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to 80 percent since the hospital opened more than 50 years ago. St. Jude is working to drive the overall survival rate for childhood cancer to 90 percent. And we won’t stop until no child dies from cancer.
By freely sharing discoveries, every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
