Centennial Campaign
The Society of the Four Arts has officially begun work on the most significant enhancement of its historic buildings and grounds since the institution’s founding in 1936. Focused on the west half of the campus, the project will upgrade the Esther B. O’Keeffe and John E. Rovensky buildings — homes to many of The Four Arts’ acclaimed visual and performing arts programs, as well as its beloved Children’s Library — to enhance the visitor experience, elevate programmatic spaces for artists and audiences alike, and create a more unified cultural destination in the heart of Palm Beach.
The project is funded through The Four Arts’ Centennial Campaign, a $250 million philanthropic initiative for both construction costs and endowment that represents a generational investment in the sustainability of both the institution’s physical campus and its enduring mission to provide world-class cultural and educational programming for the public.
