Historic
State Park
,
Key West

Florida
.
This nationally recognized exhibition showcases international and world class artists and is viewed by collectors, art patrons and over 100,000 visitors to the park.
The 87-acre Park is home to a civil war era fort surrounded by a moat and includes the island’s best beaches, and open field and wooded areas. Every winter the park becomes home to an exhibition of large-scale sculptures, many of them created specifically for the site by leading sculptors from around the world. What is unique about Sculpture Key West is that its outdoor venue can be seen by land, sea and sky. Many artists take advantage of this unique venue to showcase work that can be viewed from a variety of vantage points.
The Park is situated on the southernmost tip of
Key West
where the Atlantic and the
Gulf of Mexico
meet, offering a variety of settings for contemporary sculpture.
Captain Billy-Bob with His Treasured Chest is a mixed media sculpture standing 74” tall. This playful piece is uniquely situated at Historic Fort Zachary Taylor conveying a whimsical twist of historic folklore and legend of the romantic and adventurous pirate era. The exhibition opens February 25 and continues
through April 14, 2007.
