TWAA Art Walk | August 1, 2025
Two Waters Arts Alliance is in the process of planning the 10th Annual Art Walk in Key Center. This event features booths for our local KP artists to display their work; jewelry designers offering one-of-a-kind pieces; and quality crafts from skilled artisans. You can walk through the different venues and browse, and maybe find something special to take home.
There will also be several non-profits providing information and answers to your questions. For the kids, there will be opportunities to make an art piece to take home, and there will also be a face painter!
Our local KP musicians will perform at 3 different venues. The Capitol Bar will feature 3 different sets of musicians and provide draft beers, ciders and wine. The Sunnycrest Bar will feature several different musicians, and provide beer and wine. The Corral will feature the South Sound Strummer and Dr. Roes’ Down Home Band.
GNOSH will be serving sandwiches along with other offerings. The Ice Cream truck will be available for bars and cones. IGA will have a wine and beer tasting inside the store.
We encourage you to Come and Enjoy the afternoon with us in Key Center!
Also, If you would be interested in helping with this event, please contact Jodi at: gmalittlefield@gmail.com. She will be coordinating our volunteers.

Two Scholarship Opportunities!
Beverly Bier-Pedersen Art Student Scholarship
A scholarship of $2,000 is available to help Key Peninsula residents of any age to study all types of art as their primary focus. This money must be used to pay for art materials and/or tuition at an art school or academic institution. The intention is to support people in becoming professional artists through traditional study and includes those who are returning to formal study after working in other fields.
Beverly Bier-Pedersen Art Teacher Scholarship
A grant of $500 is available to anyone teaching art at a school serving the Key Peninsula. This money must be used to learn or refine an art technique and acquire the materials needed to teach it to schoolchildren. The intention is to help those who are bringing hands-on art experiences to children by enabling them to take classes and pass the gained knowledge on.

TWAA Presents
ART IN SCHOOLS
Two Waters Artists In Schools is a twofold program. Classroom teachers call upon artists in the “Residency” program to flesh out specific topics within the classroom environment: a musician brings songs of the time to life in a history lesson, or a visual artist expands the world of a plant in science. The artist functions as a resource, much like a film strip or textbook, under a teacher’s direction illustrating how art and core studies interrelate. For students wishing to explore specific artistic activities, Artists in Schools supports the increasingly popular Key Peninsula Middle School “After School Arts” program. Professional artists, most from the Key Peninsula, guide students through a particular art project in a focused after school program.
