“Beautiful Islamorada” is a new exhibit hosted by the Village of Islamorada and the Art Guild of the Purple Isles. The exhibit is on view in village buildings, located at 87000 and 86800 Overseas Highway, through Nov. 13.

This is the second Art in Public Buildings exhibit curated by Emily Rother, village cultural arts coordinator. Art in Public Buildings makes use of public spaces — in this case, the Ron Levy Aquatic Center, the community room and village hall — to create opportunities for the public to encounter works of art during everyday activities. 

Those visiting the village hall, playing pickleball at Founders Park or attending a council meeting can check out the works by the 18 featured artists. Anyone interested in the artwork may contact the artist – all the art in this exhibit is available for sale.

Featured guild artists are Angela Sayre, Annette Nina, Asta Kraskouskas, Carmen M Alex, Christine O’Neill, Daryl Duda, David Bader, David O’Neill, Deana Jorgensen, Gloria Avner, Gisela Llorens, Karen Kubacki, Kelly Walkotten, Lonell Rice, Louise Lindsay, Mary Bonde, Monica Bankowski and Sheri Griffin.
