ABOUT US

As northern Palm Beach and southern Martin Counties' oldest and largest visual arts museum, the Lighthouse ArtCenter is a two-building operation featuring a museum and a school of art with classes for children and adults, beginner through professional levels, a popular summer camp for kids ages 4-12 and diverse and educational exhibits.

Programs also include art openings, lectures, musical concerts and our 3rd Thursday evening of each month, where we feature fun, social activities, such as concerts, lectures, art demonstrations, live performances and gallery talks. It's a perfect opportunity to broaden one’s knowledge of the arts and mingle with other art enthusiasts and Lighthouse ArtCenter members.
