Why 2026 Stands Out
This year's lineup reflects a growing emphasis on inclusivity, with events blending high-end luxury (like The Palm Beach Show's global antiques) and accessible community vibes (ArtiGras' interactive demos). The proximity of Palm Beach and Jupiter—just a short drive apart—makes it easy to hop between venues, soaking in the region's artistic pulse amid its beaches and boutiques. Whether you're a seasoned collector or a first-time visitor, 2026 promises discoveries that inspire and endure. For the latest updates, check official sites, as schedules may evolve.
