We want to tell you the Rain Barrel, Islamorada’s local artists’ village, strikes a balance between the beautiful and the tacky. But you’re more likely to find souvenir-y tourist tat here than a truly striking work of art. That said, strolling around the seven studios and galleries that make up the Rain Barrel is nice, and who knows, you may find the piece of your dreams, or at least a hand-painted sign that says, ‘It’s always 5 o’clock somewhere.’
