More than 100 artists will open their creative spaces to the public this May
April 29, 2025 (Lake Worth Beach, Fla.) — Want to immerse yourself in the world of a local artist? This May, you can. The Cultural Council for Palm Beach County’s third annual Palm Beach County Open Studios gives residents and visitors access to over 100 professional artists at their creative spaces.
The free weekend-long event takes place May 17-18, 2025 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. across The Palm Beaches.
“Open Studios continues to gain popularity—with a record-breaking lineup of local artists this year,” says Jessica Ransom, director of artist services at the Cultural Council. “Our self-guided format lets guests choose their own adventure as they tour studios, interact with artists and browse original works.”
Artists will present pieces in various mediums, from traditional techniques like oil painting to contemporary expressions like spray paint, digital art, and the event’s first participating tattoo studio. Visitors can even find woodworking, ceramics, glass works and wearable pieces.
The Cultural Council will also open its Lake Worth Beach headquarters to showcase works by three local creatives—including Jeanne Martin, the featured artist for the Council’s MOSAIC (Month of Shows, Art, Ideas, and Culture) celebration this May.
“As part of our commitment to serving Palm Beach County’s cultural sector, Open Studios enables the public to directly visit and support local creative professionals,” says Dave Lawrence, the Council’s president and CEO. “Guests can also explore unique hubs like the Lighthouse ArtCenter, Arts Warehouse, and the Benzaiten Center for Creative Arts. We invite everyone to celebrate our vibrant arts community with us this May.”
Palm Beach County Open Studios 2025 is sponsored by PureHoney magazine and WLRN Public Media.
