Art & Photography Galleries
In the Florida Keys, art pops up everywhere—bright canvases splashed with island color, sculpture gardens tucked into courtyards, and photography that captures the Keys’ endless light. Galleries range from quirky co-ops to elegant showrooms, often run by the artists themselves. Peek into a shop and you might meet a painter mid-brushstroke or a photographer still salty from a sunrise shoot. These listings highlight places where the Keys’ spirit hangs on every wall. Stop in, wander slowly, and maybe carry a piece of paradise home with you.

Abstracta
A small Duval Street gallery stocked with work that does not look like anybody else's on the street, including sculpture built out of reclaimed metal. It stays open into the evening, which makes it one of the few galleries you can browse after dinner.
Whimsy Key West
Barb Sage paints roller skates, lamps, vintage mannequins and wooden signs in colors you can spot from across the room. Whimsy Key West works out of Sacred Space on Stock Island, a collective of nine local women artists.
Gingerbread Square Gallery
Key West’s oldest private art gallery, showcasing original works in a historic Victorian setting.
Key West Sunsets
Isaac Valdes sets up at the Sunset Celebration every night, with giclée prints, digital work and hand-carved pieces framed by his wife Danay in salvaged lobster trap wood. Find him at Mallory Square from about 6:15pm.
Island Style Gallery
A Duval Street storefront of American craft rather than framed art: hand-painted furniture, pottery, glass, jewelry, tiles and sculpture, most of it one of a kind. Owner Dyan Stuglin buys primarily from Florida artists.
Archeo Gallery
Rugs hand-knotted in Afghanistan from nautical charts of the Lower Keys, African ceremonial art, and fish that swam in a Wyoming lake fifty million years ago. Archeo on Upper Duval calls it ancient art for modern living, and means it fairly literally.
Barbara Hann Art
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.
The Stockyard, Studios & Artists
Tucked into a working commercial yard on Stock Island, Stockyard Studios is where a dozen Keys artists weld, build boats, carve wood and fire stoneware. This is a place to watch things get made, not a gallery row.
Key West Pottery
Adam Russell and Kelly Lever have been making pottery in Key West since 2009, from mugs and bowls to fish sculptures that stand taller than the people looking at them. Everything in their Duval Street gallery was made on this island by one of the two of them.
Art On Duval Key West, A Procaccini Gallery
Around twenty painters and photographers on one of the busiest blocks of Duval, from painted surfboards to the founder's own photographs of Keys water and light. Time your trip for winter and you can meet the artists in person.
Gallery on Greene
Gallery on Greene is a premier fine art gallery in Key West’s Historic Seaport, specializing in representational works by renowned Key West and Cuban artists, with offerings spanning paintings, sculptures, and reproductions.
Zero Mile Art
The green Mile 0 sign at Whitehead and Fleming is the photograph people drive the whole Overseas Highway to take, and this shop sits on the corner. Art prints and local gifts inside, plus cold drinks and key lime pie, open until eight.
Harrison Gallery
Helen Harrison learned to shape wood building a 38-foot sailboat in Costa Rica, sailed it for eleven years, then came ashore in Key West and started carving sculpture instead. She and Ben opened the gallery on White Street in 1986 and have run it themselves ever since.
Ocean Blue Galleries Key West
An authorized Dr. Seuss collection, Tom Everhart’s Peanuts work, Nano Lopez bronzes and lit glass animals by the Borowski brothers all share this gallery at the top of Duval. The mix leans toward pop art and nostalgia alongside Key West scenes.
Art@ 830 Gallery
Hand blown glass, turned wood, ceramics and paintings on Caroline Street in the Historic Seaport, run by two artists who have been working in Key West for decades. Ask about Tony Gregory's Key West alphabet.
