Lake Worth Beach, Fla., Sept. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Cultural Council for Palm Beach County recently launched its third installment of MOSAIC (Months of Shows, Art, Ideas and Culture), celebrating arts and culture in The Palm Beaches with special offers and hotel deals designed to restart cultural tourism.
From spacious museums and historical sites to beautiful botanical gardens and nature preserves, visitors can safely experience The Palm Beaches and enjoy hotel deals now and special cultural offers coming soon.
To kick off the celebration, the Cultural Council worked with renowned collage artist and longtime Palm Beach County resident, Bruce Helander, to design this year’s campaign artwork titled, "Magical Mosaic (Everything Under the Sun)." The piece features an aerial view of The Palm Beaches with local landmarks surrounded by a vibrant collage of images depicting the arts, sciences, history and community.
Cultural organizations in The Palm Beaches recognize that safety is the top priority for visitors. In addition to state guidelines in place for attractions, restaurants and things to do, Palm Beach County has a local ordinance requiring facial coverings in public places, indoors or outdoors, wherever social distancing isn’t possible. Cultural organizations also have specific guidelines, allowing guests to experience the arts while maintaining proper safety precautions. Many have also signed The Palm Beaches Pledge, promising to follow guidelines from health and government officials to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and keep everyone safe.
