ABOUT
2025 marks the 9th Annual year of the Armory Art Center’s juried art festival. Our museum-quality contemporary market is in West Palm Beach, Florida, just across the bridge from the Town of Palm Beach. Our creative market has easy load-in and load-out, and scores of patrons come prepared to begin their holiday shopping.
The Creative Market hosts nearly 5,000 visitors inside and outside the Armory Art Center’s historic campus, located in Howard Park, within walking distance to City Place, Antique Row, and the Norton Museum of Art.
The venue sits squarely in the heart of the historic Grandview Heights, Flamingo Park, and Sunshine Park Neighborhoods. It is a short distance from the I-95 corridor, Palm Beach International Airport, Amtrak, Tri-Rail, and Brightline train and accessible from the downtown Circuit Transportation. Over 150 artists gather at the Creative Market to showcase their work and provide demonstrations, performances, and more. Parking and Admission are free.

THEME
Full Circle | Circles are a universal symbol of perpetual motion, balance, and renewal. Nature provides tree rings and seasonal cycles. In Full Circle, artists create work depicting subjects with a circular form, or exploring symbolism, metaphor, or traditions expanding the basic circle. From oranges to eggs, drum rolls to figure eights, we challenged artists to close the loop, spiral out of control, and share their sphere of influence in this year’s Creative Market juried exhibition.
EXHIBITION | November 3, 2025 – December 27, 2025
