About the Exhibition

Palm Beach County-based professional artists explore the landscapes, light, and visual culture of coastal South Florida. From shifting reflections and atmospheric skies to surf culture and shoreline environments, the works examine how artists interpret the experiences, rhythms, and evolving identity of life along the coast. Across a range of perspectives, the exhibition reflects the enduring influence of the beach on the creative life of The Palm Beaches.
