100 Artists • 100 Recipes • 100 Stories

Following the tremendous success of our first Artful Cooking cookbook, Artists of Palm Beach County is excited to announce plans for a new, expanded hardcover edition featuring 100 APBC artists.

With more than 200 copies sold, our first cookbook has found an enthusiastic audience well beyond our membership. It is currently available in the gift shops at the Norton Museum of Art, Cultural Council for Palm Beach County, Boca Raton Museum of Art, and Cornell Art Museum, and we’re thrilled that it will also be featured on The Society of the Four Arts 2027 book list.

Building on that success, the new More Artful Cooking will bring together 100 artists, 100 recipes, and 100 stories—celebrating art, food, family traditions, memories, and the stories of our creative community in a beautiful keepsake edition.

Each selected artist will have a dedicated feature combining their artwork, a favorite recipe, and a personal story about the recipe or its significance.

WHAT TO SUBMIT

Each artist will submit:

• A high-resolution image of your original artwork to be reproduced in the cookbook (300dpi/CMYK)
• One favorite recipe
• A short story about the recipe – 50 words or less
• A short artist bio – 75 words or less

Recipes can include appetizers, soups, salads, entrées, side dishes, breads, desserts, beverages, family favorites, cultural specialties, or any recipe that has special meaning to you.

ELIGIBILITY

This opportunity is open to current Artists of Palm Beach County (APBC) members.

Artists who participated in the first edition of Artful Cooking are welcome—and encouraged—to participate again. Returning artists must submit a new recipe and artwork different from what was featured in the first cookbook.

Your artwork does not need to be food-related. We want the cookbook to showcase our members' diversity and creativity, so we encourage artists to submit work that best represents their artistic practice.

Space is limited to 100 artists.
