Key West, FL – On Sunday, January 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Key West Artisan Market will host a special Women’s Club Edition at Clarence H. Higgs Memorial Beach. This event will celebrate the remarkable contributions of the Key West Woman’s Club (KWWC), a volunteer service organization founded in 1915. Guided by the motto “Qui Non Proficit Deficit,” the KWWC has spent over a century assisting Key West and Monroe County non-profits through fundraising and community service efforts, all while enhancing the quality of life for residents.
The Key West Woman’s Club is known for its dedication to preserving the iconic building it calls home, one of the few privately owned mansions remaining on Duval Street. Recognized by the National Historic Preservation Board, this historic Museum stands as a testament to the club’s enduring commitment to the Key West community and its cultural heritage. During the Artisan Market, attendees can purchase the popular Key West Restaurant and Theater Card, which offers a “buy one entrée, get one complimentary” deal at participating locations, along with an updated cookbook produced by the club. Guests will also have the opportunity to learn about the upcoming Key West Historic Days, scheduled for April 3-6, which will celebrate the 110th anniversary of the Key West Woman’s Club. The Artisan Market offers a vibrant selection of local delights, including a full bar serving bloody marys and mimosas, coffee, smoothies, and natural juices, alongside food trucks and stalls featuring both eat-on-site and takeaway options. Visitors can browse an array of fine crafts, artwork, and jewelry created by talented Florida Keys artisans, while enjoying live music from local performers and meeting local authors. The event will also spotlight the Key West Wildlife Center, further emphasizing the spirit of community support that defines the Key West Artisan Market. Conveniently located near popular attractions such as the Higgs Beach Dog Park, the free West Martello Tower Botanical Gardens, White Street Pier, and the Atlantic Ocean’s pristine shoreline, the Artisan Market offers an inviting atmosphere for locals and visitors alike. The Key West Artisan Market is now every Sunday through April and is organized by locals, for locals.
