The Florida Keys have famously been a haven for such historical luminaries as playwright Tennessee Williams, novelist Ernest Hemingway, and bird-chronicler John James Audubon. Aspiring artists continue to be drawn to the area for the unique and free-spirited way of life embodied in the Keys – a spirit that is evident at the many festivals and events, art galleries, plays, open-air festivals and symphonies.
