 Uniquely Palm Beach Gift Store
The Council sells homemade and unique objects created in Palm Beach County. Special attention is given to work by artists, especially those who make functional objects, and to things created by our cultural organizations such as note cards and other merchandise that highlights the unique features of our area. We hope this is the store you will call for all your Palm Beach gifts, a perfect choice for gifts to family and friends out of town. All proceeds support artist programs.

Galleries
2,500 square feet of flexible gallery space will showcase ongoing temporary exhibitions focused on art made in or unique to Palm Beach County. The goal of the gallery exhibitions is twofold: to educate the public about art and artists and to provide exposure to artists in Palm Beach County so they can be more successful in selling and promoting their art. Further, the Council will focus on the creation of art--how does the artist create? What process does he/she use? What does it take to make art? Why make art? This premise carries through to all media of art: visual, music, dance, theatre, etc. 

 

Information Center on Arts and Culture
This information hub is where visitors will be able to find the Council's award-winning magazine, art&culture, brochures and publications from cultural organizations, and a computer kiosk providing access to a cultural calendar of events and the Convention & Visitors Bureau website for hotels and other tourism amenities.
 

Artist Resource Center
This space will be used to provide training to artists to help them be successful entrepreneurs and small business owners.
