Art Pops Off the Walls in West Palm Beach

Art has officially left the building — and it’s taking over West Palm Beach in the most creative way possible.

The City’s public art program, ArtLife WPB, just dropped its latest installation series, The Commons: 5 Artists, 5 Spaces, and it’s giving major Endless Summer vibes. Think bold visuals, immersive storytelling, playful pop art, dreamy nature vibes, and magical fairy tale landscapes — all out in the open and free to enjoy.

Here’s the scoop: five local artists took their vision beyond the studio to create site-specific art all around town. You’ll find it in parks, libraries, courtyards, and tucked into unexpected corners. Even better? There are free workshops and events so you can meet the artists, make some art, and be part of the magic.
