New Art Exhibit on Display at Keys History & Discovery Center

‘Pollinators’ Showcases Original Works by Tropical Botanic Artists

ISLAMORADA, FL – Keys History & Discovery Center announces a new arts-meets-nature exhibit now on display through Sunday, Jan. 16, 2022. ‘Pollinators’ includes original works of art emphasizing the variety and variability of creatures that pollinate South Florida’s abundant native plants.

Focusing on these complex relationships, members of the Tropical Botanic Artists collective illustrated birds, butterflies, moths, bees, wasps, even aquatic zooplankton, with plants they pollinate. Informative labels accompany each work.

“The critical role of pollinators is familiar to farmers and home gardeners alike,” said Susan Cumins with the Tropical Botanic Artists. “In South Florida’s remaining uncultivated places – pine rocklands, hardwood hammocks, watery glades, and coastal mangroves – the connection between plants and their pollinators is crucial. These co-dependent relationships, though not always obvious, can be strong. Without one, the other will not survive.”

Keys History & Discovery Center is located on the property of the Islander Resort, is open Wednesdays through Sundays, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information, visit www.KeysDiscovery.com or call 305-992-2237.
