WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (October 9, 2025) — The Armory Art Center is planning three dynamic new events at its historic campus in West Palm Beach—including its annual Creative Market and two brand-new exhibitions this November.
The free Creative Market willtake place on Saturday, November 8 and Sunday, November 9, 2025 (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.), highlighting nearly 60 artisans from Florida and beyond. Their works will represent a variety of styles, including ceramics, jewelry, woodworking, sculpture, painting, photography, and more.
The market will also feature live local music and art demonstrations, craft food and beverages, children’s activities, and more. Located within walking distance of CityPlace, historic Antique Row, the Norton Museum of Art, and the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, the Armory hosts thousands of visitors every year and is expecting a packed event.
The 40-year-old organization is also preparing for two more exhibitions this winter, running from November 3 to December 27, 2025.
Through intricately woven fiber portraits, collages, prints and paintings, Kandy G. Lopez’s solo exhibition, Past the Eyes, captures the soul of individuals often overlooked. This exhibition invites viewers to witness more fully and engage with communities through empathy, memory, and connection.
In the juried exhibition Full Circle, artists created work depicting subjects with a circular form, or exploring symbolism, metaphor, or traditions expanding the basic circle. From oranges to eggs and drum rolls to figure eights, artists will find original ways to close the loop, spiral out of control, and share their sphere of influence.
The Armory’s free market and exhibitions are generously supported by the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County, Discover The Palm Beaches, and the Tourist Development Council of Palm Beach County.
