West Palm Beach, Fla. — Conservative activist and artist Scott LoBaido is set to headline a fundraising art show in South Florida, an event organizers say will blend political messaging, contemporary art, and conservative activism.
The fundraiser, presented by The America Project, will take place at the West Palm Beach Marriott and will feature a guest appearance by Tom Homan, the former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Organizers say attendees will also be offered an opportunity to purchase tickets for a separate Mar-a-Lago fundraiser, an event expected to include both Homan and Donald Trump.
LoBaido, who was born and raised in New York City, has built a national profile over the past three decades for his overtly patriotic artwork and public activism. Known for painting American flags on buildings ranging from schools and firehouses to police stations and hospitals, he has described his work as a response to what he views as anti-American sentiment within the contemporary art world.
His Florida exhibition will mark his first major show in the state and is expected to feature dozens of works depicting variations of the American flag, patriotic portraits, and politically charged paintings of prominent Democratic figures, including President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The event will also include the unveiling of what organizers describe as LoBaido’s largest and most ambitious painting to date.
Beyond his art, LoBaido has become a visible figure in conservative media circles, positioning himself as an outspoken critic of what he calls political correctness, cancel culture, and progressive ideology. A documentary film about his life and work, The Relentless Patriot, is scheduled for release in summer 2023.
According to event organizers, a portion of proceeds from artwork sales will be directed toward causes focused on what they describe as protecting the rights and freedoms of Americans.
The fundraiser reflects the growing intersection of political activism and art within conservative circles, where exhibitions increasingly double as ideological gatherings as well as cultural showcases.
