The Key West Art Center will present the 57th annual Old Island Days Art Festival at
Truman Waterfront Park on Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 26-27, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
This year’s show brings back some longtime favorite artists and introduces many new participants. The waterfront setting has given the festival opportunity to set up more booths and artists responded, with more 110 of them scheduled to attend.
Last year, COVID’s social distancing rule required the show to move to Truman Waterfront. While it was expected to return to Whitehead Street this year, road work in the neighborhood prevents that.
Artists and crafters will line the quay showing watercolors, oil/acrylic, mixed media, photography, and more works for the home, office or outdoors. In addition, visitors will find jewelry, clothing,
sculpture, glass and wood, along with plenty of fun, funky tropical arts and crafts.
This group of artists has something for every taste and budget.
There is plenty of parking and bike racks and the show is steps away from the Duval Loop stop.
The Old Island Days Art Festival is sponsored by the Key West Art Center, 301 Front St. The non-profit Community Art Center is Key West’s oldest gallery and features original
works of art by over 50 local artists.More information is at 305-294-1241 or KWArtShow@gmail.com.
The Old Island Days Art Festival has moved for the past two years from its longtime location on Whitehead to Truman Waterfront Park. More than 110 artists will display and sell their work from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 26 and 27. CONTRIBUTED
