BOUNDLESS - Florida's Creative Resilience Exhibition

On June 12, 2024, the state elected to veto all funding to arts & culture in the state of Florida for the 2024-2025 cycle. This crucial decision impacts employment for artists, musicians and all other creatives, arts in education curricula for children at museums and afterschool programs as well as community projects which afford institutions to provide free and discounted admissions to the public. It also impacts on tourism and potential opportunities for people to want to move to the state of Florida.

The No More Starving Artists Foundation’s board of directors along with ATB Fine Art Group Inc. decided to produce an exhibition entitled BOUNDLESS - Florida's Creative Resilience Exhibition. This is a retrospective showcasing Florida based artists. The title of the show is in response to the vetoing of state funds going to arts and culture. The show is to emphasize that artists, as well as arts and culture are resilient. Proceeds from sales of the art from the show are going to the Legacy Fund. This fund will help other local organizations that have been impacted by this veto and wish to hire creatives for their programs but cannot, would be able to receive assistance. Over 30 artists will be participating from different parts of the state, exhibiting their amazing works.

The exhibition will be held at Palm Beach Art, Antique & Design Showroom from November 1-30, 2024. Tickets will be available online on Eventbrite.
