Palm Beach Gardens is getting a splash of color and creativity as the annual ArtiGras Fine Arts Festival kicks off this weekend at the Gardens North County District Park. The two-day affair, which runs from Saturday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m, brings together a cornucopia of artists from around the nation showcasing their masterpieces in an open-air gallery setting.

As the 39th anniversary of the ArtiGras festival rolls around, organizers at the Palm Beach North Chamber of Commerce are putting out a call for "enthusiastic" high school volunteers to keep the wheels turning on this well-oiled machine, according to a report by WPTV. The community service opportunities offered are not only a boon for the students but also keep the festival humming along, as around 600 volunteers are typically needed to manage the event. "We'll give you a shirt. We'll feed you good food and you get to be outside," said Noel Martinez, CEO of the Palm Beach North Chamber of Commerce, to WPTV.

Festival-goers will be able to engage with nearly 300 artists featuring their best across a dozen categories of fine art. For those who want to dive in before they arrive, the ArtiGras App available on Apple App Store or the Play Store is recommended. It's packed with all the essentials – a map of the festival grounds, an interactive list of artists, a schedule of events, and much more – as noted by a guide on ThePalmBeaches.com.

With a history that stretches back more than a quarter-century, starting humbly on the North Palm Beach Country Club driving range, ArtiGras has blossomed into an arts experience ranked in the top 10 of U.S. art shows. Not only does the event highlight gallery-quality pieces, but it also invites interaction with the creators, offers children's activities in the Amazon ArtiKids Zone, and sets the stage for live music under the cool outdoor breezes of sunny South Florida. Tickets are $5 cheaper in advance, and it's worth noting that kids 12 and younger can enjoy the festivities free of charge.
