Island Days Art Festival
February 21 - 22, 2009
Where: Whitehead and Caroline Streets, Old Town Key West

Presented by the Key West Art Center, a co-op organization for local artists, the juried show typically draws artists from across the United States and Canada. Offerings range from watercolor and oil paintings to sculptures, graphics, collages and photography.

Organizers expect 25,000 to 30,000 attendees during the event.

The art show is a highlight of Key West's Old Island Days, a multimonth celebration of local arts, culture and history that began in 1960 under the auspices of the Old Island Restoration Foundation.

Other notable events during Old Island Days include tours of unique private homes and gardens, theatrical and musical productions, museum exhibitions and an offbeat conch shell blowing contest.

The Old Island Days Art Festival is free to attend. For more information, call (305) 294-1241. End of Article
