On December 17, 2020, the Palm Beach Design Showroom hosted a VIP opening preview party "Exotic Expressions, A Collaboration with SuperCar Week.” With all major art events cancelled this year, this was, probably, the first live in-person art show of the season. There was also an auxiliary pop-up display of rare and vintage cars, courtesy of Neil London, president of SUPERCAR WEEK, which is an annual Palm Beach event in January. Angelica Sua, the showroom executive director, said that the event observes all necessary Covid-19 protocols, but she says: "We want to keep art alive." The exhibition runs through January 21, 2021.
