Join us for an evening of storytelling with Key West native and folk artist Wayne Garcia themed ‘They Only Follow Us At Night’. He will delight the audience with tales of Old Key West, his memories from growing up, and many of the island’s most infamous characters. His stories will be accompanied by his colorful wood carvings and vintage photographs depicting Key West’s incredible past.

About the Presenter:

Wayne Garcia is a 3rd generation Cuban American. He learned the techniques of carving on wood from watching legendary folk artists Mario Sanchez & Papito Suarez. Wayne’s delightful accounts of Key West’s past should not be missed. He literally and figuratively paints a picture of an island paradise rich in community and culture, validating all of the reasons why many of us have chosen Key West as our home.
