Nestled in the heart of Old Town Key West, The Studios of Key West is a cultural gem that embodies the island’s vibrant artistic spirit. Established with the vision of bringing world-class artists to the island while promoting local talent, The Studios is a must-visit attraction just steps from the bustling Duval Street. Housed in a beautifully renovated 1951 Art Deco building, originally the Scottish Rite Masonic Center, this spacious and light-filled venue offers an array of creative experiences.
The facility boasts the island’s largest gallery for contemporary art, a professional 200-seat theater, nine artist studios, and an advanced digital media lab. The rooftop terrace, known as Hugh’s View, provides breathtaking views and is a favorite spot for concerts and plein air classes. The Studios also offer artist residencies and varied art classes, fostering a thriving creative community.

The Helmerich Theater hosts a myriad of performances, from concerts to theater productions, while the rooftop bar is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the arts. The Studios of Key West are not just a cultural association but a dynamic platform supporting artists, inspiring creativity, and building community.
