The Premier Fine Arts Festival of the Palm Beaches
From its humble beginnings at the North Palm Beach Country Club, to its current ranking as one of the premier fine art festivals in the United States, the ArtiGras Fine Arts Festival has stayed true to its purpose – to promote cultural arts in Northern Palm Beach County in a family friendly environment.
It is so evident that ArtiGras is well planned, well advertised, and well managed. The volunteers were so accommodating...they really enjoyed being there to help both customers and artists...many of them thanked us for being at the show. The brochures were really helpful... I noticed many customers using them.
Artist Survey Results show that exhibitors consider ArtiGras as one of the best shows in the country for Organization, Layout, Quality & Quantity of Customers and Artist Amenities and the average artist grosses over $3,500 during the three day event.
ArtiGras is celebrated annually for over 25 years over President’s Day Weekend in Jupiter, FL. Ranked as one of the Top 50 art shows in the United States by Sunshine Artist Magazine and one of the Top 20 Events in the Southeast by the Southeastern Tourism Society, ArtiGras showcases a unique juried exhibition of nearly 300 of the top artists from all over the country. The three-day event also features interactive art exhibits, live music, and demonstrations that provide an arts experience like no other in South Florida. ArtiGras is produced by the Northern Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce and benefits school art programs and local charities.
Fabulous treatment of artists and great turnout. I did an artist demonstration this year and was treated like a “rock star”. I did very well on gross receipts and the crowd was sophisticated, the jurying selection of the show was top notch, the staff was very nice.

From its humble beginnings at the North Palm Beach Country Club, to its current ranking as one of the premier fine art festivals in the United States, the ArtiGras Fine Arts Festival has stayed true to its purpose – to promote cultural arts in Northern Palm Beach County in a family friendly environment. As budget cuts increase, school art programs continue to decrease everyday. We know how important these programs are to a child’s educational and social development and that’s why we created the ArtiGras Foundation to benefit local school art programs and scholarships. We are proud to report that since its beginning, ArtiGras ticket sales and programs have generated over $500,000 to support the arts in Palm Beach County.
