Monroe County is one of over 300 Public Art programs in the United States with installations throughout the island.
The Art in Public Places committee, run by The Florida Keys Council of the Arts, is charged with the purchasing and installation of artwork in any new major county construction. The first installation, The Roth Building on Plantation Key, was completed in 2003, followed by many additional installations.
Public Art enhances public spaces and promotes civic pride, while supporting artists and building a cultural legacy. It offers an intersection between the past, present and future. It opens a platform for discussion and new ideas. And best all, it is free for all to enjoy.
Below are the links to installations in alphabetical order:
Bernstein Park, Big Pine Key Community Center, Big Pine Key Fire Station, Cudjoe Key Fire Station, Freeman Justice Center, Key West International Airport, Marathon Courthouse, Marathon Library, Murray Nelson Government Center, North Key Largo Fire Station, Roth Building Plantation Key, Stock Island Fire Station, Tavernier Fire Station
