The Palm Beach 100: Palm Beach Illustrated x Carousel Fine Art
On August 19, The Palm Beach 100 came to Carousel Fine Art. Presented by Palm Beach Illustrated and hosted in our gallery in West Palm Beach NORA District, the evening celebrated the Class of 2026 among contemporary paintings, photography, and sculpture.
They are the business leaders, visionaries, philanthropists, and community changemakers who shape how Palm Beach County lives, works, plays, and gives back.

The Evening at Carousel Fine Art
Carousel opened the doors of its NORA District gallery so Palm Beach Illustrated could celebrate the people on the list.
Our West Palm Beach gallery opened in November 2025 with a dedicated exhibition space for contemporary work. The gallery shows contemporary painting, photography, and sculpture. The program includes street and urban art, abstract and mixed-media painting, and fine art photography. Artists on the West Palm Beach program include Eric Alfaro and Christopher Schulz, alongside rotating artists from Carousel's international roster.
