2127.gif?width=159 February 21 & 22
Key West, Florida

Whitehead and Caroline Streets
10am-5pm daily
approximately 100 exhibitors
Deadline: October 15


This nationally recognized event attracts fine artists from across the country to this beautiful historic area of Key West.  Exhibitors include painters, sculptors, photographers, collage artists and other nonfunctional fine art.  Reports from the2132.jpg?width=250 2014 show exhibitors were positive and they were pleased with the number of buyers.

Since we are celebrating our 50th Annual we have planned a special advertising section in the local paper that will include a two page spread with artist names and maps sponsored by local businesses.  

Exhibitors will set up along Whitehead Street from Greene Street to Eaton, and on Caroline Street through the famous Presidential Gates into the beautiful Truman Annex.  Set among historical attractions such as Audubon House, the Little White House and Mel Fisher Museum, the City of Key West closes two blocks of Whitehead Street and another block of Caroline Street to vehicle traffic for the show. 

Visitors (local residents, tourists and browsers from cruise ships) leisurely visit the beautiful displays of fine arts from the selected artists. Tropical themes are abundant here, but contemporary and traditional styles make something for everyone!

The show is sponsored by the Key West Art Center, Key West's oldest gallery, and was originally held to raise money for the renovation of the building at 301 Front Street.  

The first show was held on the sidewalk on Front Street, near the current gallery and artists used clothespins to attach their work to the fence in front of the old Custom's House.  Since then the show has been held annually and grown from just local artists and now includes exhibitors from across the country and Canada.

Make this a "working vacation" by joining us for a few days in Paradise for an art fair you will fondly remember.
