Duval Street
Duval Street — "the longest street in the world," running from the Gulf to the Atlantic across Key West's one-mile width — is the city's party spine, but its side-street walls and the backs of the buildings that face Duval host some of the most exuberant outdoor art in the Florida Keys. The colorful Caribbean vernacular architecture provides a ground that artists have learned to collaborate with rather than override.
Featured Artists
All artists →Mr. Brainwash
"Conch Republic" layers Warhol flowers, Lichtenstein dots, and the iconic Key West conch shell into a dense, joyful composition that captures the city's self-declared independent spirit in Brainwash's signature chaos-of-pop-culture aesthetic.
Tristan Eaton
"Southernmost Point" presents the famous buoy marker — the most-photographed object in Key West — as the center of a pop-art composition that radiates Cuba, Caribbean flags, and the routes of the 90-mile crossing that has defined Florida's political geography for half a century.
ROA
"Hemingway's Cats" renders the polydactyl cats of the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum — the six-toed descendants of the writer's original feline companions — in ROA's characteristic X-ray cross-section style, the cats' extra toes anatomically illustrated in a nod to Key West's best-known literary resident.
