Wavehenge was conceived as a site-specific piece for people to sit by the water and enjoy the view. It functions as a daily sundial and solar calendar, the shadow lands on the curved outline of one 'raft' bench when the hour and minute of the day matches the month and day of the year, for summer and winter solstice, and spring and fall equinox.

Gaia Grossi, 2020
The artist draws strength and inspiration from the figure of Mother Earth, (Gaea in Latin), and her fascination with Japanese gardens. As a woman artist, she felt a strong need to focus on feminine energy and simplicity. Her commitment and sacrifice to her art created opportunity and new beginnings for her life.
-
Susan Markowitz Meredith, 2024
Features three intertwining three-dimensional forms, representing the concept of mutual arising. Drawing inspiration from intertwining spiral forms found in nature, the three central shoots rise from a common source and engage with one another. There is a progression of transparent step-like forms that serve as metaphors for an intangible growth process, suggesting that individual experiences are not isolated, and that society grows and flourishes by embracing our differences and recognizing our interconnections.
-
Frank Michielli, 2020
These pieces are inspired by the vibrant, physical qualities of the wave, captured by setting up a dynamic relationship between the layers and components of the sculpture. Its structural properties, the double curvature of the bent steel rods, are similar to the anatomy of a seashell.

Marco Palli, 2023
This artwork honors the evolving spirit of the United States, rooted in founding principles and ever shaped by change. Two open arches rise: one to enter, welcoming all who seek to belong, to grow, and to try again; one to exit, offering the freedom to explore new paths, to reinvent, and to return if called. "Our Gates" invites both locals and newcomers to engage with dignity in the collective journey of progress. It celebrates the pursuit of sustainable, equitable opportunity. Together, the gates stand in mutual support, like the diverse communities they represent.

About the program
The Art in Public Places program brings visual art into the everyday lives of Florida Keys residents and visitors. It was established by Monroe County ordinance in 2001, which allocates one percent of the construction cost of new county buildings and major restorations to commissioning artwork for them. The committee is appointed by the Board of County Commissioners, and the Florida Keys Council of the Arts serves as its staff.
The Council oversees the maintenance and conservation of the collection, working with artists, conservators and county facilities staff.
Art in Public Buildings, the other program
The Council runs two things that sound alike. Art in Public Places is the permanent collection above: artwork commissioned for Monroe County buildings under the county's one percent for art ordinance, and it stays where it is installed.
Art in Public Buildings is the other one. Rather than commissioning work, it borrows it, and hangs it on a rotation in civic buildings around the Keys so that county offices, courthouses and clinics show real art by Keys artists. It has been organized by volunteers.
If you are an artist who would like to show work this way, or you want to know what is currently hanging, email info@keysarts.com or call 305-295-4369.

About the Sculpture Trail
The vision of Key West philanthropists Mr. John Padget and the late Mr. Jacob Dekker launched the public art sculpture trail project in 2017 along U.S. 1, the Overseas Highway, an All-American Road. The trail features 19 sculptures created by The Art Students League of New York's Works in Public program, and is a generous gift to the residents and visitors of Monroe County, Florida.
About the Art Students League of New York
The Art Students League of New York is one of America's premier art schools. It was founded in 1875 by artists, for artists, to provide affordable studio-based art education of the highest quality. Great artists have trained, taught, and exhibited at the League throughout its rich history. Classes, lectures, workshops, exhibitions, and professional development programs continue the League's legacy of supporting students who intend to make art a profession and cultivating a spirit of community among artists. Among its prominent instructors and students, the League counts Thomas Eakins, Frederic Remington and Reginald Marsh, Georgia O'Keeffe, Norman Rockwell, and Jackson Pollock.
About the Florida Keys Council of the Arts
The Council is the acting Public Art Administrator for both the Monroe County and City of Key West's prestigious 1% for Public Art programs. Executive Director Elizabeth Young and Art in Public Places County Chair Susann D'Antonio co-curated the Florida Keys Sculpture Trail on behalf of benefactors John Padget and the late Jacob Dekker.
WPA art and artists in the Keys
In the 1930s the Works Progress Administration and the Federal Emergency Relief Administration put artists to work in the Florida Keys. Murals, bas reliefs, watercolors and prints from that decade are still here, in libraries and courthouses and bars and museums, most of them free to walk in and see.
The Council mapped 16 of them for a printed brochure, researched by Malcolm Ross. This is that list, with 14 of the sites placed on the map above. The numbers are the Council's own and have not been changed.
Several of these sites are working offices, private businesses or schools. Check opening hours, and ask at the desk before looking around. The artists are below.
