HUMAN-POWERED ART SCULPTURES ARE COMING!
WHO WAS STANLEY PAPIO ?
Papio's Kinetic Sculpture Parade debuts in Downtown Key West in May 2016. The Key West Art & Historical Society presents this family-friendly, art-inspired, human-powered, float parade through the streets of Key West. Bicycles donning creative, funky and wild designs will be crafted by people of all ages. The premier of this annual event starts at the Custom House Museum and winds its way down historic Duval Street. The art machines will be on display all month at the Fort East Martello Museum. A celebration and concert follows on parade night.
If you drove through Key Largo during the 1970s, you would have passed by the 'junkyard' of metalworks art-ist Stanley Papio. He was described as, 'a gadfly among moths, an artist unloved in a community of art-ists, a true individual, as inflexible as cast iron and as hard to weld.' Read more at:
Papio Kinetic Sculpture Parade

in this event...more info to come***
