Details
The Cornell Art Museum is proud to present the return of Art on the Square, a premier juried outdoor fine art show set on the beautiful historic grounds of Old School Square in Downtown Delray Beach. Hosted on the museum’s front lawn and along Swinton Avenue, this two-day outdoor art gallery will feature approximately 60+ fine artists from around the country showcasing original, museum-quality works.
Thousands of visitors are invited to stroll the picturesque campus, meet the artists, discover one-of-a-kind artwork, and enjoy a lively atmosphere filled with live music, gourmet food and drinks, and hands-on art experiences. The event encourages guests to explore nearby shops and restaurants, supporting the local downtown economy while enjoying a vibrant cultural weekend.
This beloved event has a proven legacy, with six successful shows produced between 2017 and 2020, and returns under the direction of Cultural Arts Director Marusca Gatto to once again bring world-class art to the heart of the community.
Featuring: Art Moves You “En Plein Air”
This year, Art on the Square welcomes Art Moves You “En Plein Air,” a live painting experience unfolding across the Old School Square campus throughout the weekend. Several South Florida artists will paint live outdoors, capturing the lively scenes of the event as they happen.
At the end of each day, the artists’ freshly painted works will go on view inside the Cornell Art Museum, giving visitors a chance to see the weekend come to life on canvas. On Sunday, November 8 at 3pm, everyone is invited to gather and cheer on the award winners of the two-day “En Plein Air” exhibition.
All artworks are available for purchase, with proceeds benefiting the Cornell Art Museum.
