The Key West Art Center in Key West, FL is pleased to announce that Grace Epperly is the new Show Director for the 35th Key West Craft Show and 55th Old Island Days Art Festival. 

Local Key Wester, Grace Epperly is a potter and former gallery owner. She personally has participated in the Key West Craft Show for at least 15 years as well as various other shows throughout the state of Florida. She knows exactly what is involved in preparing a large amount of inventory, traveling to a show and setting up and breaking down for a show in all types of weather conditions. She is the perfect person to take over the position from Lois Songer, the previous director, as she knows firsthand the show experience from the artist’s perspective. Grace will also bring a fresh, bold and bright look to the marketing with her graphic design background.

"I'm honored to take over the reins for Lois. My goal is to bring some new artists for each venue to keep the shows fresh and energetic and make this an outstanding community event for locals and our island visitors. I have a plethora of marketing ideas to promote each show and I'm very excited for this opportunity." 

The 35th Key West Craft Show is January 25 & 26, 2020. The deadline for applications is September 1, 2019. 

The 55th Old Island Days Art Festival is February 22 & 23, 2020. The deadline for applications is October 1, 2019.
