ArtiGras Fine Arts Festival — Local services in Palm Beach Gardens

My wife and I love fine art and art in general. However, the event left us unenthusiastic to return in the future. The first experience was the paid parking at the school which was somewhat of a mess and "valets" who cannot communicate nor direct traffic properly. I am also in agreement with another reviewer about how the booth layout was unorganized. I overheard many people say "is this all there is?" Others pointed out that there were more booths on the other side.

For $20 per person plus another $10 for parking, the event was worth the money. Just a day earlier I paid $20 dollars more in total for the the Palm Beach show which had true fine arts including some of the Masters on display. Artigras only had a few "true" fine art artists and should consider dropping the word "Fine" from its title. A lot of what was displayed seemed more like decorative art rather than fine art. However, art is objective and some will disagree with that statement.

On a positive note, the event does take place in beautiful Palm Beach Gardens, and this time of year the weather is great to walk around and enjoy...

The artists and exhibits were great. Ever since ArtiGras moved from Abacoa, we found it more inconvenient to access the show, and the parking situation and traffic control is horrendous. We've been to two shows at the new location and it's the same problem. We think a lot of people will enjoy ArtiGras regardless, but this will deter us from attending in the future. Also, the layout of the booths covered a lot of ground, but booth numbers were either obscured or not displayed or confusing. The map could've been better designed to make artist booth locations more precise. Also, when trying to get info from staff, the few we spoke with to get a fix on where certain booth's were located had no clue how to assist. It was a beautiful, sunny day...

We have been to other mulitple art events in the PBC and found some amazing pieces that we bought. The other shows featured more varied fine art offerings than what was available here. How many photographic art tents does one need to see? Plus we didn't have to pay to park ($15) or have pay an entry fee ($20 per person) either. Used to be a far better event with a lot more quality artists. Will be the last one we go to. Took all of an hour to walk the entire event. On top of it the food trucks were aweful. A disconbobulated mix of offerings that were not complementary to each other either. A lot was wrong with the Artis Gras this year. Hard pass going forward. Super...
