Society of the Four Arts

The Society of the Four Arts is a cherished cultural gem, nestled on a picturesque 10-acre campus along the Intracoastal Waterway in Palm Beach, Florida. Established in 1936, this non-profit organization is dedicated to inspiring and engaging the community through the "four arts": music, art, drama, and literature. It offers a dynamic array of programs, from world-class art exhibitions and concerts to enriching lectures and educational workshops, creating a vibrant hub for cultural exploration.

Visitors can immerse themselves in the tranquility of two distinct and captivating outdoor spaces: the Philip Hulitar Sculpture Garden and the Four Arts Botanical Gardens. The Sculpture Garden features approximately 20 sculptures by renowned artists, seamlessly integrated into a serene, park-like setting with fountains and pergolas. Adjacent to it, the Botanical Gardens are a series of themed "garden rooms," designed to showcase the diversity of tropical plants suitable for South Florida's climate, including unique spaces like the Chinese Garden, Fragrant Moonlight Garden, and a lush Jungle Garden.

Beyond the gardens, the campus houses the Esther B. O'Keeffe Gallery (currently undergoing renovations), which hosts temporary art exhibitions, the Gubelmann Auditorium for performances, and two libraries – the King Library and a Children's Library. A visit to the Society of the Four Arts offers a peaceful escape and a rich tapestry of artistic and natural beauty, making it a memorable destination for all who appreciate culture and horticulture.
