The Florida Keys Council of the Arts is proud to announce our 2025 Members Show, “Then and Now: Artists of the Keys”, with an opening reception in Key West on Thursday, November 14th and an opening reception in Key Largo on Wednesday, November 20th.

The Key West Opening Reception will be held Thursday, November 14th, from 5:00 – 7:00 pm at the historic Gato Building, 1100 Simonton Street, Key West. The exhibition will remain on display through early 2025. We will feature our Member Artists’ works along with precious historic artworks that we are honored to present for sale. These works came from estates and families of the Keys. These special pieces reflect the spirit of days gone by, our stunning natural surroundings, treasured island lifestyle, special landmarks and our diverse cultural history.

The Key Largo Opening Reception will be held Wednesday, November 20th, from 5:00 – 7:00 pm at Kona Kai Resort, located at 97802 Overseas Hwy, Key Largo. The exhibition will be on display at Kona Kai during business hours through the month of March 2025. Our Member Artists share in the spirit of celebrating our unique history of the land and sea which surrounds us and the colorful sights and sounds of the fabulous Florida Keys. We hope you can join us!

The Gato building, which is home to numerous State and County offices, supports the Art in Public Buildings program which offers an alternate space for artists to display their work. Free parking is available, and the building is ADA accessible. Refreshments will be served. Kona Kai Resort & Gallery is a slice of Old Florida that retains its original charm and elegance. The gallery is open 9 am to 6 pm every day. Refreshments will be served at the opening reception.

The Florida Keys Council of the Arts supports visual, literary and performing artists and cultural organizations throughout the Keys with several grant programs and scholarships. We connect artists to each other and to their audiences.
