Key Largo Arts & Entertainment: A Guide to the Local Creative Scene
- While Key Largo is justifiably renowned as the dive capital of the world, the best-kept secret on the first island of the Florida Keys is its thriving arts and entertainment community. Artists create gorgeous memories of the Keys in every medium for display in local galleries. Potters fashion unusual glazes that evoke the incredible hues of backcountry and offshore waters, and add them to the shapes of shells, platters adorned with fish and much more.
Fine-art, portrait and underwater photographers rank among the best in the world at capturing the essence of Key Largo and the Florida Keys. Their work reveals the awe-inspiring beauty of Everglades National Park, the aquatic wonders of John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, and our outstanding artificial and natural coral reefs. It also showcases our famous sunsets and the abundant, irreplaceable flora found in the continent's last remaining stand of tropical hardwood hammock.
Local jewelers design unique bracelets, earrings, charms, pendants and necklaces with a distinctly nautical flair. Anglers can immortalize their most memorable catches with eye-catching jewelry built to last for years to come.
The performing arts scene is just as rich. From concert associations offering free musical performances to community and professional theater groups and dance companies, local performers know how to keep an audience spellbound - or laughing at their comedic antics.
