Despite unique challenges the 18th Annual Palm Beach Show is live and in-person this year. The event is a bit smaller but well attended, with safety protocols in place. A few highlights – a rediscovered painting by Lawrence Alma-Tadema, a rare Stradivarius, the most expensive COVID mask in the world, and a Paraiba tourmaline necklace. Old friends, new friends, and so much more... The show runs February 11 - 16, 2021.

Exotic Expressions Exhibition | SuperCar Week
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.
