Arts near Boynton Beach: Morikami's kintsugi show opens Oct. 17, Ron Garrett prints at the Cornell, Delray's art walk Nov. 6 and Art on the Square Nov. 7-8.

Last checked Oct. 11, 2026. Listings run from today to Nov. 22 and come from each venue’s own page: the Boynton Beach Arts and Cultural Center, the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens, Old School Square and Downtown Delray Beach. Refreshed each month.

Boynton Beach’s own gallery has nothing on its calendar this month, so the arts season here starts just down the road. The Morikami Museum, about 8 miles southwest, opens a major kintsugi exhibition on Oct. 17 and fills its fall with films, family craft days and Japanese arts workshops. Delray Beach, about five miles south, has a printmaking retrospective at the Cornell Art Museum, a gallery walk Nov. 6 and an outdoor fine art show Nov. 7-8.
