Sidewalk Poetry
The Key West Art in Public Places (AIPP) Board initiated the Sidewalk Poetry Project in 2012.
A jury reviewed the 200 entries and chose 17 winning poems, the majority of which were written by Key West residents.
The installation of the poems on the City's sidewalks was completed by Key West Artist Craig Berube-Gray in 2015.
