Florida Keys Council of the Arts: 2018 Members Show “The Creative Art of Lettering”

The Florida Keys Council of the Arts is proud to announce our 2018 Members Show, “The Creative Art of Lettering”. The Opening Reception will be held Friday, November 17, from 5 – 7 pm at the historic Gato Building. The exhibition will remain on display through January 2018.

This show explores pictorial alphabets, illustrated letters, decorative letters, calligraphy, illuminated manuscripts, initials, monograms, names and more. The theme is inspired by the “Key West Alphabet”, a hilarious ink sketch limerick book which dates back to 1913.

The Gato building, which is home to many State and County offices, supports the Art in Public Buildings program which offers an alternate space for artists to display their work.

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.

Contact the Arts Council at 305-295-4369 with any questions.
