Datebook: ArtPalmBeach Adds Global Flair in 2015

BY MICHELLE TAY | JANUARY 05, 2015

ArtPalmBeach, running  January 22 - 25, is going global this year, casting its focus on galleries from Asia, Latin America, and Europe.

The fair, founded in 1997, will also continue its commitment to infusing new blood into the mix, which this year includes participants as far flung as Thailand’s Adler Subhashok Gallery; Brazil’s Callegari Fine Arts; Portugal’s Galeria Cordeiros; Düsseldorf’s Galerie Lausberg; Poland’s Poczesna Galeria; and Chile’s Galeria ArtLabbe, to name a few.

Programming highlights will include a performance by Beatriz Millar titled “Plastic Dorianna in Love”; video screenings of Ai Weiwei and Bert Benally’s 2014 film “Pull of the Moon”; and lectures on the Surrealists’ interest in magic and spirituality, given by Dr. Irvin Lippman, the executive director of the Boca Raton Museum of Art.

ArtPalmBeach is also partnering with Art Synergy, the countywide gallery walk through nine historic art districts’ worth of gallery receptions, open artist studios, performances, museum openings, lectures and special architectural tours.

ArtPalmBeach is organized by Lee Ann and David Lester, principals of Next Level Fairs (formerly IFAE LLC), organizer of more than 100 international fairs including Miami Art + Design, Art Miami, American International Fine Art Fair, and Expoships’ SeaFair.
