In addition to the museums, from high-end galleries showcasing upscale artworks to cool and quirky home studios, Key West has a vibrant and ever burgeoning arts scene.
From ramshackle churches and cigar makers’ cottages to colonial mansions and pastel-painted Caribbean weatherboard houses, Key West’s buildings are fun and varied. The city's extensive history has seen African, Caribbean, British Bahamian, Spanish, and US influences, each leaving stamps of their own faiths and cultures.
