The streets of West Palm Beach are set to be transformed into an open-air gallery as ArtLife West Palm Beach rolls out the third edition of The Commons, an initiative designed to showcase local artistic talent in public spaces. “The Commons: 5 Artists 5 Spaces” invites residents and visitors alike to immerse themselves in the “Endless Summer” theme through a range of site-specific works now on display at various locations in the city, according to the West Palm Beach official announcement.
