The Old Island Days Art Festival is set on lower Whitehead Street and Caroline Street in historic Old Town. This renowned fine art show runs for two days, Saturday February 22 and Sunday Feb 23, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visitors can leisurely browse the beautiful displays of paintings from watercolor to oil and acrylic, decorative sculpture, photography and other fine arts from the selected artists. The show, which is in its 49th year, is sponsored by the Key West Art Center, and was originally held to raise money for the renovation of the building at 301 Front Street. That building is now home for the KWAC and displays works by the 60 plus local members. The first show was held on the sidewalk on Front Street, near the current gallery and artists used clothespins to attach their work to the fence in front of the old Custom’s House. Since then the show has been held annually and grown from just local artists and now includes exhibitors from across the country and Canada.
