New opportunity to exhibit as a fine craft artist

Once a year the Key West Art Center holds its annual jury, where local artists have the opportunity to apply to become exhibiting artist members at Key West's oldest art gallery. If accepted the artist comes a part of the a tradition here in Keys reaching back to the Great Depression and the WPA artists who help save Key West when it was one of the poorest regions in the entire country.

For either type of exhibiting artist membership,  applications may be returned to Key West Art Center  October 4-November 8, 2019.
