About
This nonprofit arts district runs along the Old Highway between mile markers 81 and 82, bringing together galleries and working studios for painting, ceramics, photography, and gyotaku (Japanese fish printing). Spots like Morada Way Clay and Limelight Studio and Gallery sit alongside boutiques and the Florida Keys Brewing Company, whose beer garden makes a natural meeting point.
The best time to go is the Third Thursday Art Walk, held monthly from 6:00 to 9:00 PM, when galleries stay open late and artisan vendors, food trucks, and live music fill the street. Gallery hours vary by business on other days, so check ahead. Restaurants such as Green Turtle Inn and Chef Michael’s are nearby for dinner.
Good to know
Third Thursday
The art walk runs 6:00 to 9:00 PM on the third Thursday of each month.
Free to stroll
Walking the district and browsing galleries costs nothing, and much of the art is for sale.
Hours vary
Each gallery and shop sets its own hours, so call ahead on non art walk days.
