04 Sep The 56th Old Island Days Art Festival • February 27 & 28, 2021
Looking for a taste of Key West art and culture? Head down to Key West for the Old Island Days Art Festival! This annual art festival brings in over 100 artists to the area. It is a two day event starting February 27th. Exhibitors will include painters, photographers, sculptors and more!
The exhibits will be set up along Whitehead Street and Caroline Street. They will go through the Presidential Gates and into Truman Annex. The historical setting gives visitors even more reason to come to the show! At the festival you can enjoy both traditional and contemporary art. Don’t forget to bring your wallet, you may just find a piece you can’t live without!
This is the festival’s 56th year and is sponsored by the Key West Art Center. The first show was held on the sidewalk on Front Street and featured local artists. The artists had to use clothespins to display their artwork on the fence in front of the Old Custom’s House. The festival has now grown to include artists from all over the country and even some from Canada!
Of course, one of the most beautiful things you will see when you come to the festival is Key West itself! A city with ocean views and warm winds! A city filled with rich history and colorful diversity! If you think you may want to live the island life, call Margarita Villoch. She is your real estate resource for Key West and the Lower Keys!
