  • Website
  • Mario Sanchez (1908-2005), a Key West native, is among this country’s finest and most-recognized folk artists. In hundreds of intricately painted wood carvings created in a lifelong labor of love, Sanchez has provided a better history of Key West in the first part of the 20th century than any annals or academic texts. His bas-relief carvings, or intaglios, are a visual feast filled with the music, smells and passion of Gato’s Village, the Cuban-American community of Key West where Sanchez spent much of his life. In the carvings, each person, chicken, dog and fish has its own singular expression, attitude and identity. The exhibit is on display at the Custom House Museum daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 281 Front St.

  • Key West Theater: Ben Harrison
  • Website
  • Ben Harrison is a playwright, lyricist and composer who is also an entertainer. What makes his live performances so enjoyable is that, at his core, he is a barroom guitar player/singer/songwriter who somehow manages to blend history, musical theater, Key West and humor into unusual stories that are mostly true. Key West Theater's Backstage Listening Room. Doors at 6 p.m.; show at 7 p.m. 512 Eaton Street.
