Art & Photography Galleries

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.

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.

DE LA Gallery — large-format fine art photography in Key West, where museum-quality prints meet bespoke framing.

Lombarduw Photography — fine art & portrait photography in the Florida Keys, where passion meets image.

Amanda Johnson paints the Keys in oil, in the studio and outdoors, in a tropical impressionist style built on gold leaf, sunsets and the island's roosters. Trained at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Art Students League of New York, she has worked in Key West since opening her first gallery here in 2012.

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.

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.

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.

Gallery & studio of women artists—expressive art in Key West

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.

One of the few armories built in the South after the Civil War, and an unusual wood-frame one at that, this 1903 landmark on White Street has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1971. Twelve artist studios fill the second floor and Fringe Theater performs on the first.

A weather-beaten shell-cleaning shack in the Historic Seaport, now packed with ships' portholes, old anchors, antique postcards of Cuba and paintings of a Key West that mostly is not there anymore. It opens a few afternoons a week, so check before you walk over.

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.

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.
