#FloridaPeachy Art Palm Beach Wraps Up Successful First Show

This weekend Art Palm Beach wrapped up its first show at the Palm Beach County Convention Center under new ownership. The show brought in tens of thousands of people and record sales for multiple galleries. Art Palm Beach is the longest running fair dedicated to contemporary, emerging, and modern art in the area. This year, the owners of the LA Art Show, the most prestigious and innovative art show in America, brought their knowledge and expertise to Palm Beach. "We created a new and completely revamped Art Palm Beach", said Kassandra Voyagis, the producer and director of the show. "We are so proud of what we accomplished taking this show in a new and exciting direction. I could tell by the look on people's faces when they walked in that they were wowed by the experience we provided."

Art Palm Beach went in a new and exciting direction, wrapping up its first show at the Palm Beach County Convention Center under new owners. The show brought in tens of thousands of people and record sales for multiple galleries. The completely revamped show focused on climate change and immersive experiences. Artists like Lorenzo Marini had touch and feel exhibits, Picasso, Dali and other works sold at record prices. People were in complete awe of the all the new experiences!

The show kicked-off with a successful VIP night in conjunction with St Jude Children's Research Hospital. A patient family spoke about their gratitude for the support from Art Palm Beach. Fifteen percent of ticket sales from the five-day event benefitted St. Jude. From the "yellow" carpet to the four Pablo Picasso art pieces for sale to Lorenzo Marini's most loved immersive experience titled "Raintype" — art you can touch — guests and patrons alike commented on the vibrant energy and fun buzzing through the course of the show.

Art Palm Beach garnered national TV attention from networks like Discovery+, The Weather Channel and multiple local news segments highlighting the uniqueness of the show that focused on climate change. As a part of DIVERSEartPB, international artist Marcos Lutyens provided a trance room called "Echo of Oblivion" about drought. Renowned art curator Marisa Caichiolo also featured an immersive experience by artist Guillermo Vezzosi dedicated to the rising sea level. Guests were able to see, feel and touch recycled trash as an art form.

Mark your calendars for next year's show at the Palm Beach County Convention Center Jan. 24th -28th 2024. For more information about the exceptional show go to: ArtPalmBeach.com

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
