Sculpture Surprise

It happens I am out walking and I wonder what there is that is new under the sun in Key West and imagine my surprise when the city yields one more to keep me wondering.The Studios is an eclectic art space on White Street housed in the old Armory, a swords to plowshares concept of ever there was one. They offer concerts, art shows and exhibitions in the lovely old hall, especially in winter when the connoisseurs from Up North are in town to see and be seen around town, but this is a place where something always seems to be going on. What prompted me to stumble in the little outdoor space in back I'm not sure but there it was all laid out for me to enjoy.There was no one else there to enjoy the sea mammals carved in stone, but they put on an excellent show for me.They smiled to see a visitor.There is a wealth of talent to go around in a world that can put out such art in a back space.I felt lucky to come across it tucked away here off White Street.I only wanted more time to spend there but being as how I'm just one more bureaucrat in a world apparently overloaded with us despised government workers, I had to report for work at my union workplace. Lackaday me.I saw no more information than this about this delightful exhibit.It was all I needed. It pays to keep your eyes open when walking the streets of Key West.

It's a great place, TSKW. Look them up on the Internet, they get top shelf talent on for shows.

Off to dinner in Singapore,

Chuck.
