Hot Works’ Boca Raton Fine Art Show has been voted in the top 100 art shows in the nation - a testament to our efforts & successes. In addition to the winter show on January 26 & 27, 2019, in 2018 the Boca Raton Fine Art Show turns bi-annual, with a fall show November 3 & 4, outdoors in downtown Boca Raton’s Mizner Park Amphitheater, adjacent to the Boca Raton Museum of Art. The location has an effect on the type of patrons it draws, who trend toward affluence & culture, with "money to spend". Both art shows are limited to 175 artists, or less.
 
Producer Patty Narozny brings 30+ years of event & media experience. She has a national reputation for her integrity & for producing extremely high-quality art shows. All work is original & personally handmade by the artist in the show. Hot Works shows are juried by art professionals - if you do not make your work, please do not apply.
 
Narozny networks with the local media to bring a high-end buying audience, people with money to spend. “Hot Works is both organized & they really bring great quality buyers–this show is a must-attend.”

Our #1 goal at Hot Works is to make the Boca Raton Fine Art Show a pleasant & profitable experience for all of our stakeholders in this endeavor – the artists, patrons, residents, sponsors, local merchants & the City – all the while aiming to be an enjoyable family-friendly event & destination for which we can all take great pride.
