Art & Photography Galleries

A nonprofit gallery and working studio on the highway in Tavernier, showing two dozen Keys artists across painting, photography, raku and stained glass, with a ceramic studio on site. Sales here support art education and community programs rather than a private owner.

Barbara Hann is a Key West oil painter who captures the tropical light, palm trees, and coastal scenes of the Florida Keys on canvas. Her originals, prints, and collector's book bring a bit of island color home, and she shows her work at The Studios of Key West.

Judith Chesher stocks her shop with work from around thirty Keys artists, and as she puts it, the Keys are full of artists doing all kinds of weird things. It sits in Rain Barrel Village, a few steps from a forty-foot lobster.

Elena Madden paints water and light from memory, never from a photograph, in Conté crayon and acrylic layered until the surface seems to move. Her studio gallery sits in Islamorada's Morada Way arts district, and her 22-foot tarpon hangs in the lobby at Cheeca Lodge.

Rachel Garreau came to Key West from Casablanca with thirty-six dollars, worked at Sloppy Joe's, spent five years as an art director, then sold her house to open her own gallery on Duval. It is full of work by Key West artists, and she is usually in it.

An Islamorada fine art gallery featuring rotating exhibitions from local and visiting artists.

A gallery of Key West painters on Upper Duval, open since 2009 and anchored by Jim Salem, who is half the name over the door. Tuesday through Sunday, closed Mondays, and by appointment if that suits you better.

Florida's Official Fine Art Photographer has kept his gallery on Duval Street since New Year's Day 1999. Sunsets, Everglades light, wildlife and a vanishing Old Florida, printed on canvas, aluminum and glass at sizes from modest to architectural.

Arana Glass has been painting faces onto coconuts for more than thirty years, and since 2020 she and her husband have been hiding them around the Keys for strangers to find and keep. Her studio at mile marker 86.7 in Islamorada has the originals, the prints, and a good deal more.

Next door to Pepe's, which has been feeding Key West since 1909, and a few steps from the Historic Seaport. A small gallery of island and Caribbean work by Key West artists, priced to actually buy.

Garlic Grater with Love is a 14-year-old artisan brand crafting distinctive handmade ceramic garlic grater bowls and eco-friendly scrubbie sponges, found at the Key West Artisan Market at Higgs Beach and available online for those who want to bring a piece of handmade artistry home from the Keys.

Holle represents Tom Everhart, the only artist Charles Schulz ever taught and legally authorized to paint Peanuts as fine art. The gallery sits on Duval and stays open until ten every night, so it fits into an evening rather than competing with your beach day.

A marine biologist who once curated the Key West Aquarium now builds picture frames out of retired lobster traps and sculpture out of old bottles. Bob Cerkleski's shop is on Fleming Street, and most of what is in it exists exactly once.

Key West cottages, roosters, bar fronts and beaches, photographed around the island and then painted over by hand, stroke by stroke, on a tablet. Mark Baratto's gallery is tucked into the Shops at Mallory Square, across from Cuban Coffee Queen.

DeClues Custom Framing is a custom picture-framing shop in the Upper Keys that builds new frames for artwork and photographs. It works alongside DePaula Gallery, with framing drop-off and pickup on weekday afternoons.
