Morada Way Arts & Cultural District
We strive to connect our community with the arts through monthly Art Walks, Partner studios & galleries, and more!
About
Founded in 2011, The Morada Way Arts & Cultural District (MWACD) is a 501(c)3 not for profit organization registered with the State of Florida.
The MWACD is the driving entity behind the creation of The Upper Keys’s Arts & Cultural District, which is defined within a 6-block corridor marked by the cornerstones of the iconic Green Turtle Inn and the Hurricane Monument; the primary thoroughfare is Morada Way.
The MWACD fosters the ONLY downtown area, “Main Street” and neighborhood between Key West and Miami. It is a place where the public can gather to safely enjoy a lively, beautiful, and bustling corridor with galleries, restaurants, and studio spaces. This grassroots accomplishment has channeled arts and culture integration into surrounding parks, bike paths and business establishments adjacent to the Art & Cultural District.
