Shadow & Light: Island Contrast

A Juried Art Exhibition

The Key West Art & Historical Society is proud to present its bi-annual juried exhibition, Shadow & Light: Island Contrast, opening December 3, 2025 at the Key West Museum of Art & History.

Shadow & Light invites viewers to explore the nuances of illumination, shadow, and contrast as seen through the eyes of local artists. The exhibition features a range of works that evoke contemplation, wonder, and introspection, highlighting the balance and tension between nature and human experience.  Visitors will see diverse approaches to the theme, from light and shadow to form, texture, mood, and movement.

The exhibition is juried by Dr. Cori Convertito of the Key West Art & Historical Society, Elena Devers of The Studios of Key West, Jane Grannis and Carole Garcia of the Anne McKee Art Fund.

Opening Reception: December 3, 2025 — an opportunity to meet the artists and experience their work firsthand.
