Get discounts at all kinds of arts and cultural institutions in Palm Beach County this May with the MOSAIC program.

Now in its seventh year, MOSAIC (Month Of Shows, Art, Ideas & Culture) offers Buy-One-Get-One deals and up to 50% off on admission tickets, retail purchases and unique experiences at participating attractions and organizations including Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society, Arts Garage, Palm Beach Dramaworks and The Taras Oceanographic Foundation. There’s even a discount for this weekend’s SunFest!

Also, as part of the monthlong program, local artists will welcome visitors into their creative spaces with an Open Studios event from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, May 18, and Sunday, May 19. The Open Studios program, which debuted last year as a one-day activation, will extend to art-making hubs such as Arts Warehouse in Delray Beach, The Peach in West Palm Beach, and Zero Empty Spaces in Palm Beach Gardens and Boca Raton.

“After the success of Open Studios last year, we’re thrilled to expand the experience to give visitors a unique opportunity to be a part of the vibrant arts and culture scene in The Palm Beaches,” says Dave Lawrence, president and CEO of the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County, which produces MOSAIC. “With over 90 local artists participating and over 25 cultural organizations offering exclusive deals, MOSAIC is bigger and better than ever, and we are so proud to share the experience with locals and visitors alike.”
