NAUTICAL ART EXHIBIT ON DISPLAY AT ISLAMORADA LIBRARY TIL NOV. 12

The exhibit features nautical stories and mythology. CONTRIBUTED

The History of Diving Museum’s traveling exhibit, “Dive Into Art: FantaSea,” is on display until Nov. 12 at the Islamorada library. 

This traveling show of student artwork, featuring nautical stories and mythology from eight Florida Keys schools, was originally displayed as part of the annual art show with the Art Guild of the Purple Isles. The “FantaSea” exhibit celebrated fantasy elements tied to the ocean: mermaids, pirates, sunken cities and more. 

This traveling exhibit was sponsored in part by Culture Builds Florida, the Florida Keys Council of the Arts, and Monroe County Tourism Development Council.

The Monroe County libraries have partnered with the museum to give students the opportunity to see their work on display throughout the Florida Keys. The 2023 Dive into Art show is entitled “Edge of the Sea,” a celebration of the unique habitats found where land meets water. This exhibit opens in January 2023.
