EN PLEIN AIR Art in Nature

In The Palm Beaches, art is all around, from colorful murals in unexpected places to massive sculptures hidden away in tropical gardens.

Stroll along the scenic Palm Beach Lake Trail and find yourself at The Society of the Four Arts in Palm Beach, where you’ll find the Philip Hulitar Sculpture Garden and Four Arts Botanical Gardens. Pick up a free selfguided walking tour pamphlet at the garden entrances and learn about the 20 sculptures, plus water fountains and more.

In West Palm Beach, escape to a tropical paradise at Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens, where you’ll find colossal sculptures tucked amongst more than 250 rare palm species, cycads and exotic tropical varieties. This botanical oasis was designed by esteemed landscape architect Sir Peter Smithers and features a meditation pond, reflection pool and views of the Lake Worth Lagoon.

After exploring the art and artifacts in the indoor galleries of Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach, breathe in the peaceful surroundings as you explore each of its six outdoor gardens, featuring elements such as artfully pruned bonsai trees, streamlined sculptures, Zen rock gardens and tranquil lakes with koi and other wildlife.

In Boynton Beach, experience one-of-a-kind kinetic art installations offering interactive outdoor and indoor kinetic works.
