Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To enrich, inspire and engage the Palm Beach County community, enhancing the quality of our lives through educational and cultural programs in art, music, drama, literature, historical and current affairs.

  • Artistic programming consists of art exhibitions, concerts, films, HD screenings from cultural partners, and lectures. Each season The Society of the Four Arts presents a full season of notable programs in music, drama, literature, and the visual arts. Concerts include programs by the world's leading musicians in diverse performances of classical, jazz, bluegrass, and more. Recent art exhibitions included Past Forward: Native American Art from Gilcrease Museum and Rory McEwen: A New Perspective on Nature. Each run included a lecture on the exhibition. The Four Arts curates a Friday Film Series and hosts screenings from the Metropolitan Opera in New York, National Theatre Live in London, and an Exhibition on Screen series. Attendance 21,534 over 83 programs.

    Expenses $5,638,219 · Revenue $575,257

  • Because the Town of Palm Beach has no public libraries, the Society's two libraries - the King Library for adults and a separate, superbly equipped Children's Library, serve, in effect, as the town's "official" libraries. Both are open to the public at no charge (adults pay a small fee for borrowing privileges); both present a full season's schedule of events: story hours for children, plus celebrations of special events like National Fire Prevention week when Palm Beach's fire trucks and firefighters visit the children's library, author visits, book signings, poetry readings, lectures, book discussions, and other events for adults. Attendance 75,530 including 313 events.

    Expenses $479,289

  • Education (Campus on the Lake) programming consists of field trips, lectures, master classes, seminars, and workshops dedicated to the living arts. These programs and events are presented in the new Four Arts Dixon Education Building. The presentations range widely in subject matter: ongoing classes on classical music, opera, literature, art, watercolor painting, sculpture, cooking, and flower arranging; one-time lectures on a wide variety of subjects. Designed to attract a broad audience, the Campus on the Lake has won wide praise for the variety and depth of its programs. Attendance 10,163 over 124 programs.

    Expenses $1,721,006 · Revenue $402,284

  • The Four Arts gardens were founded in the 1930's, when many visitors and new residents were unfamiliar with the subtropical flora of south Florida. The gardens were designed to demonstrate the varieties of horticulture possible in the region. The horticultural display gardens feature nine separate sections ranging from a Chinese-style walled garden to a formal colonial garden to a Spanish garden against a mediterranean-revival facade and showcasing an antique Spanish well. The gardens are maintained by the Garden Club of Palm Beach.Immediately adjacent, the two-acre Philip Hulitar sculpture garden, which displays an encyclopedic collection of American and international sculpture and functions as a public park for Palm Beach, is a further showcase for subtropical horticulture. The gardens are open to the public year-round, free of charge. Attendance 56,450 while open for 342 days..

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
