The best Golf Cart Tours in Cedar Key, FL
The Cedar Keyhole Artists Co-op & Gallery is a longtime Cedar Key destination for locally connected art and handcrafted work. Located at 457 2nd Street in Cedar Key, Florida, the cooperative makes an easy stop while exploring the island’s historic downtown.
This is an independent Living Cedar Key visitor guide. For official and time-sensitive information, confirm details with the organization before your visit.
The artists cooperative was organized in 1977 to provide an outlet for creative people in Cedar Key and the surrounding area. Its history is closely connected with artist Catherine “Cathie” Christie, who later helped establish the Cedar Key Arts Center.
The Keyhole occupies the main floor of the building, while the Cedar Key Arts Center uses the upper floor. That makes 457 2nd Street one of the most concentrated art stops in downtown Cedar Key.
The cooperative features a broad range of fine art and fine craft. Depending on current participating artists and inventory, visitors may encounter paintings, pottery, glass, jewelry, photography, fiber art, woodworking, metal work, mosaics and other handcrafted pieces.
Because the work changes as artists bring in new pieces, repeat visitors can find something different from one trip to the next.
Address: 457 2nd Street, Cedar Key, FL 32625.
Current local listings show daily hours, but hours can change seasonally or for holidays. Check current information before making a special trip.

The cooperative’s story stretches back nearly half a century. The Cedar Key Arts Center reports that the co-op was co-founded in 1977 and later moved to its current area on 2nd Street. In 1994, Christie established the Cedar Key Arts Center and donated the building to the new nonprofit organization, creating the arrangement visitors see today.
No. They share a building and have intertwined histories, but the artists cooperative and nonprofit Arts Center are distinct. The Keyhole is on the main floor and the Arts Center galleries and activities are upstairs.
