Arts and craft fairs are certainly nothing new around these parts. Everyone seems to imagine himself an artist in these DIY times, but just because you dab some paint onto something doesn’t make it art (sorry). The Palm Beach Fine Craft Show, now in its ninth year, is a bastion of real art and good taste. It is a juried show, meaning that the artists on display have gone through a rigorous judging process by people qualified to separate the masterpieces from the pieces of… well, you know. There will be traditional fine art but also fashion, interior design, and furnishings on display at the Palm Beach County Convention Center (650 Okeechobee Blvd., West Palm Beach). In addition to the 123 artists being featured, including 29 newcomers, each day will offer a series of lectures, fashion shows, and demonstrations from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $15, $14 for seniors, and free for those under 12 as long as they are accompanied by an adult. Visit palmbeachfinecraftshow.com.
