What better way to ring in the New Year than to announce the dates of a newly curated art exhibition series with a collaboration between Maison Palmer + Studio 1608.  Studio 1608 has been at the epicenter of the local art scene for over 30 years. Nestled between the Norton Museum of Art and Antique Row, Studio 1608 houses seven full time artist studios and a 1,000 square foot main gallery space.

Maison Palmer is planning three curated art shows that will exhibit work created exclusively by local artists living in our community. The first show in mid-January titled “Ripple,” is a themed exhibition that draws inspiration from where we live and focuses on works of art inspired by water and sand. The VIP Preview on Friday, January 13 is by RSVP only and starts at 5pm. It will open to the public January 14-15 and the following weekend January 21-22 from 12:00-4:00.

Along with our Studio 1608 Resident Artists, we are pleased to exhibit works by Nicolas Grant, Lauren Pilla, Kyle Lucks, Sarah LaPierre, and Lydia M. E. Schrader. 

The second show in February will be called “A Moment in Time,” showcasing how photography captures the world we live now to preserves it for the future. The season will culminate with the third exhibition “Modern and Contemporary Art in our Community,” scheduled in March the weekend before the famed convention center art show called Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary. This final exhibition will showcase some of the hottest emerging artists in our community coupled with the already established artists of Studio 1608, opening your eyes to the incredible artists living in your community.
