After the success of last year’s Art Palm Beach show, newly acquired by the producers of the renowned LA Art Show, representatives are boasting an even bigger, more thrilling event for 2024 in Palm Beach, Florida. There will be more than 80 modern and contemporary galleries in attendance—including a large international presence—featuring “notable emerging artists as well as top names from the contemporary, modern, classical modern, post-war and pop eras,” reads the show website.
The roster of exhibitors includes prominent galleries such as Hollis Taggart, Mark Borghi Fine Art, Masterworks Fine Art Gallery, Sponder Gallery, Cernuda Arte, Gladwell & Patterson, Vertu Fine Art and Rosenfeld Gallery.

Kassandra Voyagis, producer and director of the entire event, explains, “Last year, we created a new and completely revamped Art Palm Beach. Under our leadership, we took this show in a new and exciting direction marrying both fairs in a dynamic state-of-the-art bi-coastal enterprise. This year we are upping the ante even more by adding new international galleries, a completely new theme and a new charity partner.”
Voyagis notes that the show is proudly donating 15 percent of the entire show’s proceeds to the American Heart Association including the night of the star-studded VIP opening night premier event.

Returning this year is the rotating group of museums, art institutions and nonprofits that are part of DIVERSEartPB, highlighting a community engagement platform exploring artificial intelligence. “Under the expert guidance of renowned art curator, Marisa Caichiolo, DIVERSEartPB will spotlight how AI is reshaping humanity,” says Voyagis. “Through thought provoking installations, live and interactive experiences, visitors will be challenged to look at how AI is recreating the way the human memory works and changing our perception of what it means to be human.”

Voyagis continues, “In addition…DIVERSEart hopes to connect visitors with museums and nonprofit arts organizations as they present projects/programming aimed at stimulating dialogue, generating innovative ideas and driving social change through art.”
Art highlights this year include what Voyagis describes as a “wonderful Chagall piece that visitors won’t want to miss” from Modern Fine Art (formerly Waterhouse & Dodd) out of New York City. Chagall’s dream-like scenery and poignant use of color is on full display in the offered piece titled Esquisse Pour Le ‘Grand Cirque’. Modern Fine Art will also have contemporary works like Edward Povey’s Definitie, a highly realistic painting of a female figure surrounded by objects that hint at the subject’s life story. “[Povey’s] paintings are his exploration of emotional realism, his term for this style of painting, [and an] intimate look at what it is to be human, with all its pain and beauty,” reads Povey’s artist statement.
