Art in Public Buildings

Two different programs

The Council runs two things that sound alike. Art in Public Places is the permanent collection: artwork commissioned for Monroe County buildings under the county's one percent for art ordinance, and it stays where it is installed. You can see all of it on the Collection page.

Art in Public Buildings is the other one. Rather than commissioning work, it borrows it, and hangs it on a rotation in civic buildings around the Keys so that county offices, courthouses and clinics show real art by Keys artists. It has been organized by volunteers.

We are checking which venues are on the rotation now before listing them here. If you are an artist who would like to show work this way, or you want to know what is currently hanging, email info@keysarts.com or call 305-295-4369.
