Shop for Local Art at “The Short List”

The Cultural Council for Palm Beach County will usher in 2026 with “The Short List,” a first-of-its-kind exhibition featuring compact, affordable artworks by Palm Beach County-based artists, January 16-24.

“The Short List” will feature 175 works by more than 140 artists in a wide range of mediums, including paintings, photography, and ceramics, all curated for collecting.

To give the community the first chance to purchase works before the exhibition opens to the public, the Cultural Council will host The Short List: First Look on January 15, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Council’s headquarters in downtown Lake Worth Beach.

Guests can mix and mingle, enjoy bites and libations, listen to live music by Palm Beach County violinist Zai Kristy, and browse the Main Gallery to view and purchase art. The event will also feature a celebratory parade highlighting participating artists.

Additionally, guests can meet the creators directly to learn more about their work. Most artworks are priced between $45 and $500.

Tickets to The Short List: First Look are $50 for general admission, and free for donors in the Council’s Founder Circle. To learn more or purchase tickets, visit palmbeachculture.com/shortlist.
