(PRESS RELEASE)_Oct. 12, 2023 (West Palm Beach, Fla.) – The Armory Art Center’s beloved annual arts festival is getting an upgrade—and a new name. Adding an extra day of art-filled fun, the Armory’s 7th Annual Holiday Arts Festival will return to Palm Beach County from December 1-3, 2023. The outdoor festival will highlight hand-crafted artwork from artisans across the country. Guests can browse dozens of booths for holiday shopping, watch artist demonstrations, enjoy craft fare from local food trucks, and more. Located at the Armory’s historic West Palm Beach campus, the free, three-day festival will also include hands-on activities for all ages and give guests a chance to learn about the Armory’s classes, workshops, and more. “We look forward to enjoying The Palm Beaches’ beautiful winter weather, vibrant art scene, and all things merry and bright to kick off the holiday season,” said Lianna Slater, the Armory's exhibition & event coordinator. “By purchasing goods from artists or signing up for a class at our campus, visitors take part in our mission to inspire people to experience art—and enable us to grow as the community’s leading resource in arts education.” Last year’s festival brought thousands of visitors and nearly 100 artists with work representing various mediums, including painting, photography, printmaking, ceramics, furniture and more. The Armory Art Center is located on the south end of Howard Park within walking distance of the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, the Palm Beach County Convention Center, Hilton West Palm Beach, and The Square—a premier shopping, dining and entertainment destination. With so much to see and do in the area, festival guests are encouraged to make a whole weekend out of the festivities and enjoy all The Palm Beaches, Florida has to offer. If You Go Shop til you drop! Scheduled at the perfect time for great weather and holiday shopping, artisan tents will be located outdoors in the Armory’s sculpture garden and in the parking lot. Guests can browse and find unique gifts for loved ones this holiday season—from handmade jewelry to paintings and more. Artists will interact with the public through art demonstrations and booth chats. The demonstration schedule will be announced in the coming weeks.
