PALM BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, October 15, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Acclaimed contemporary artist Kyle Lucks has been named the Artist in Residence for the Historical Society of Palm Beach County’s upcoming grand exhibition, ‘Wish You Were Here,’ running from November 15, 2024, to June 28, 2025, at the Richard and Pat Johnson Palm Beach County History Museum in West Palm Beach. This announcement recognizes Lucks’ exceptional talent and his ability to blend art with cultural history, making him an ideal choice for this prestigious role.
As part of the ‘Wish You Were Here’ exhibition, which celebrates 150 years of tourism in Palm Beach County, Lucks will create original paintings that reflect the vibrant history of Palm Beach’s tourism industry, from its early days as a hidden paradise to its evolution as America’s first resort destination. His role as Artist in Residence will involve producing large-scale, immersive art that brings to life the essence of Palm Beach’s past while connecting it with the present-day allure that continues to attract visitors worldwide.
“I’m honored to be part of the ‘Wish You Were Here’ exhibition and to contribute to a project that not only explores the rich history of Palm Beach but also celebrates its cultural significance,” said Lucks. “This residency allows me to create work that merges history with contemporary perspectives, giving voice to the stories that have shaped this region.”
