Art & Photography Galleries

Seventy-odd artists across two floors of Duval, anchored by Bill Mack, whose portraits of Hollywood stars are carved into metal salvaged from the original Hollywood Sign. Open until ten most nights and eleven on weekends.

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

Shade & Shutter Key West is a serene, artisan gallery where handcrafted ceramics meet evocative nature photography.

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.

Maggie Ruley paints Key West in acrylic, sometimes from a picnic table at Fort Zachary Taylor with a water bucket and a stack of snacks. Her Fleming Street studio sells the paintings and teaches you to make your own on Tuesdays.

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.

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.

Steve Diossy designed Florida's Protect Wild Dolphins license plate in 1998, and it went on to become the state's best-selling specialty plate. His gallery at 404 Duval has the originals and the prints, and it closes for an hour at five every evening for happy hour.

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.

Dwayne and Cindy King throw pottery and cast bronze in a workshop you can stand and watch, then set the results loose in a hardwood garden of winding paths, sculpture and free-range peacocks. It is at mile marker 88.8 and ranks among the top ten things to do in Islamorada.

Gyotaku is the Japanese art of printing a fish directly onto paper, and Lisa Lee learned it in Japan from the master who developed the method she uses. The ink is non-toxic, which means the fish can still be filleted for dinner once the print is made.

Rock photography, animation art and signed collectibles fill this Duval Street gallery, where the artist list runs from John Lennon and Ringo Starr to Sylvester Stallone. Owner Don Oriolo, who ran the Felix the Cat franchise from 1985 until 2014, paints on site.
