A moment of magic under the palms.
Surrounded by lush gardens and timeless charm, this ceremony at the historic Audubon House was nothing short of enchanting. A perfect blend of elegance, nature, and love in the heart of Old Town Key West.

🌟 We elevated our style at RADfest with wearable art! ⁠ ⁠
🎨✨ We’re thrilled to shine a spotlight on the incredible fashion designer Carlos Marrero (@camarrero) and his dreamy Blue Ridge scarf 😍💙⁠
⁠
“The Blue Ridge is known for being shrouded in a lovely bluish haze, especially when seen from a distance,” he says of his inspiration. “What a view that needed to be a subtle scarf!” ⁠
⁠
Don't miss your chance to snag the luxurious blend of cotton and silk that Carlos describes as his favorite piece - your wardrobe will thank you! ⁠
⁠
Tag your most fashionable friends, then tap the link in our bio (@artsvilleusa) to support Carlos, who lost his space at the Marquee warehouse because of Helene. Support local talent and wrap yourself in style! 🙌💖⁠

🌟 We had an amazing time at RADfest! ⁠ ⁠
🎨✨ We’re excited to highlight the work of RADfest artist Cassie Butcher (@cassiebutcherceramics) and her captivating ceramic sculptures, which she refers to as "Soul Survivors."⁠
⁠
“I use the word ‘souls’ to describe the basic figures that are the starting point for all of my work because I feel it touches on the essence of who everyone is,” she says. “We all experience joy, pain, suffering, sorrow, and love.”⁠
⁠
Sadly, Cassie’s studio at Curve Studios (@curvestudios) was affected by the flooding caused by Helene. She has temporarily relocated to 375 Depot Street.⁠
⁠
Let's support our local creatives! 🥳💖 Tag your pals who dig art, then tap the link in our bio (@artsvilleusa) to learn more about Cassie and find out how to acquire one of her extraordinary pieces 🎁 ⁠
