Building an Arts Community in Old Town a word about our creative process It

seems

like

just

yesterday

that

renovation

work

began

on

Key

West’s

historic

Armory

building,

headquarters

for

our

campus

at

the

corner

of

White

and

Southard

Streets.

From

late

2006,

when

The

Studios

of

Key

West

was

formally

established,

our

board

and

staff

have

overseen

the

transformation

of

a

familiar

physical

space

in

a

quiet

corner

of

Old

Town.

But

beyond

that,

we’ve

successfully

begun

to

transform

the

cultural

and

spiritual

place

under

our

care.

We’ve

done

this

not

in

solitude,

but

by

inviting

local

and

global

creative

people

to

spend

time

under

our

grand

Italianate

roof:

to

make,

talk,

share,

produce,

sing,

learn,

create.

To

help

us

build

a

bold

new

community... After

two

years,

an

antique

drill

hall

is

buzzing

with

events,

workshops,

lectures,

exhibitions,

and

visitors.

Studio

artists

are

at

work

upstairs,

writing,

painting,

and

assembling.

From

month

to

month,

visiting

artists

and

cultural

managers

populate

our

Mango

Tree

House

and

Old

Town

residency

cottages.

Significant

new

arts

partnerships

have

been

forged.

People

whole-heartedly

embrace

our

mission

to

explore

the

creative

process

and

unique

sense

of

place

here

in

the

Conch

Republic.

As

a

result,

The

Studios

of

Key

West

has

quickly

grown

from

an

idea

into

a

nexus

of

artistic

development

and

experience.

And

in

only

a

few

years

we’ve

managed

to

become

the

newest

contributor

to

the

island’s

cultural

identity.

This

transformation

has

happened,

in

part,

because

we

keep

the

doors

open

to

everybody,

welcome

new

ideas

and

partnerships,

and

rarely

say

“no”

without

first

considering

all

the

wonderful

implications

of

saying

“yes.” I’ve

been

executive

director

of

The

Studios

of

Key

West

for

almost

two

years,

and

feel

energized

when

I

walk

through

the

Armory

doors

each

morning

and

grateful

as

I

close

them

up

at

the

end

of

the

day.

Because

in

between,

I

get

to

work

with

an

incredible

staff,

a

genuinely

dedicated

board,

and

thousands

of

other

people

who

value

the

role

that

creativity

plays

in

our

lives

and

in

our

community.

Together,

we

get

to

breathe

new

life

into

an

old

building—create

pictures,

stories,

and

home-grown

artistic

produce

for

Key

West.

We

get

to

establish,

at

the

end

of

the

American

highway,

a

dynamic

cultural

hub

for

the

21st

century. I

sometimes

ask

myself

“how

did

we

make

this

place

happen

so

quickly,

so

profoundly?”

Then

I

look

around

and

find

fresh

paintings

in

the

main

hall,

local

video

projects

on

the

screen,

mixed-media

works

coming

down

the

stairs,

and

neighbors

stopping

in

to

check

our

schedule

or

renew

their

membership.

I

hear

musicians

practicing

in

the

main

hall,

a

board

committee

meeting

to

plan

special

events,

a

visiting

artist

gliding

by

the

sculpture

garden

on

his

bicycle.

I

remember

the

contractors

who

helped

us

rehabilitate

the

Armory,

the

generous

people

who

first

joined

our

Patron

Society,

and

the

writer-in-residence

who

finished

her

second

novel

entirely

in

our

Mango

Tree

House.

These

folks

are

the

answer

to

that

question.

They

are

The

Studios

of

Key

West.

And

they

deserve

our

thanks

for

the

great

start

we’ve

been

given. And

if

you

are

not

one

of

them

yet,

please

visit

us

soon.

Bring

your

creative

person

to

this

rejuvenated

building

and

become

part

of

our

ever-growing

community.

And,

in

one

simple

word

that

might

just

explain

it

all...yes! Eric

Vaughn

Holowacz Executive

Director The

 right,


 how

 and


 how


 to


 get


 a


 well


  developed


 portrait


 that


 ends


 up


 looking


 just


  like


 the


 subject.


 Each

 will


 begin


 with


  a


 presentation


 to


 make


 the


 medium


 of


 oil


  painting


 less


 intimidating.

Join


 visiting


 musicians,


 Carrie


 Newcomer,


 to


  discover


 the


 universal


 themes


 through


 the


  power


 of


 the


 personal


 story.


 This


 workshop,


  our


 first


 in


 music-making,


 explores


 the


  development


 of


 a


 unique


 voice,


 the


 power


 of


  the


 authentic


 story,


 and


 the


 use


 of


 specific


  songwriting


 tools.


 For


 Newcomer,


 songwriting


 is


 not


 about


 being


 clever,


 flashy


 or


  fancy—it


 is


 about


 telling


 a


 compelling


 story


  in


 language


 and


 music


 with


 elegance


 and


  clarity�


 The


 result


 is


 a


 resonant


 soundtrack


  for


 a


 world


 that


 is


 both


 sacred


 and


 ordinary.


 Expand


 your


 songwriting


 skills


 within


  a


 comfortable,


 nurturing,


 and


 encouraging


  atmosphere.


 All


 levels


 of


 music


 experience


  are


 welcome.


 

There


 are


 always


 two


 characters


 in


 a


  portrait,


 the


 subject


 and


 the


 artist.


 This


  workshop—taught


 by


 visiting


 artist


 and


  photographer,


 Curt


 Richter—is


 an


 open


  dialogue


 about


 how


 we,


 as


 artists,


 define


  the


 character


 in


 a


 portrait.


 What


 is


 it


 that


  we


 are


 trying


 to


 say


 about


 our


 subject


 and


  ourselves


 when


 we


 create


 a


 visual


 rendering


  of


 a


 person?


 If


 we


 are


 working


 on


 a


 large


  project


 or


 portfolio,


 how


 do


 we


 approach


  each


 subject


 as


 they


 relate


 to


 the


 greater


  collection?


 This


 workshop


 will


 begin


 by


 looking


 at,


 and


 talking


 about


 various


 artists’


 vision


 toward


 portraiture.


 Richter


 will


 discuss


  the


 history


 of


 portraiture,


 how


 it


 evolved


 and


  the


 different


 functions


 and


 intentions


 the


  portrait


 has


 served.

Some



people



say



that



watercolor



is



too



 difficult



and



uncontrollable.



Karen



Beauprie



 knows



that



is



nothing



but



a



myth!



Discover



 the



spontaneity



and



joy



of



splashing



around



 with



watercolors



to



create



vibrant



and



flowing



paintings.



This



workshop



is



designed



to



 build



a



strong



foundation



in



the



fundamentals



of



this



fresh



medium.





Students



will



learn



an



exciting



way



of



spraying



transparent



watercolor



that



results



in



a



 powerful,



unified,



graphic



painting



that



will



 get



everyone’s



attention.



Participants



will



 create



another



painting



using



the



elements



 of



shape,



line,



and



value



to



simplify



subject



 and



use



a



variety



of



color



plans



to



create



 emotion



and



mood.





Students



will



receive



advice



on



organizing



a



 palette,



choosing



and



preparing



materials



 and



equipment,



how



to



use



the



water



and



 pigment



to



create



a



variety



of



brush



strokes,



 laying



down



washes,



and



creating



specific



 textures.



A



desire



to



have



fun



and



be



open



to



 learning



is



Beauprie’s



only



prerequisite.





Mehaffey



will



guide



a



discussion



of



content,



 and



the



importance



of



color



schemes



and



 line



quality.



Finally



participants



will



work



 intuitively



with



shape,



color,



line



and



especially



texture



to



produce



an



abstraction



with



 a



personal



focus.



All



levels



are



welcome,



but



 participants



should



have



a



working



knowledge



of



their



materials.

Residencies at TSKW time and space on a tropic isle The

Studios

of

Key

West

has

been

rapidly

developing

our

campus

and

programming

over

the

past

year,

and

recently

launched

a

residency

program

in

the

island’s

Old

Town

neighborhood.

We’ve

begun

inviting

interesting,

established

creative

people

to

spend

time

in

Key

West

as

artists,

producers,

and

cultural

managers-in-residence.

Throughout

the

2009

year,

our

campus

and

cottages

in

Old

Town

will

play

host

to

a

diverse

mix

of

creative

producers,

artists,

and

directors

of

cultural

organizations

from

around

the

world.

About

our

residency

program A

residency

at

TSKW

is

a

respite

away

from

the

usual

working/living

environment,

and

can

be

arranged

from

one

to

six

weeks.

We

provide

completely

furnished

living

accommodations

and,

when

available,

dedicated

studio

space

for

visiting

artists.

Time

at

TSKW

can

include

a

project,

presentation,

screening,

or

outreach

idea—or

it

can

just

be

a

retreat-like

hermitage

with

the

space

to

think

and

work

in

solitude.

It’s

our

goal

to

invite

remarkable

creative

people,

extraordinary

emerging

talent,

and

those

working

in

the

margins—and

to

support

their

projects

and

newfound

inspirations.

And,

of

course,

we

hope

they

return

from

a

Key

West

residency

with

a

closer

connection

to

our

small

tropical

island

and

the

unique

sense

of

place

at

the

end

of

the

American

highway. TSKW

is

a

member

of

the

Alliance

of

Artists

Communities

and

Res

Artis

(the

international

artist

residency

consortium),

and

draws

its

inspiration

from

places

such

as

the

MacDowell

Colony,

Djerassi

Resident

Artist

Program,

Yaddo,

Anderson

Ranch,

and

Atlantic

Center

for

the

Arts.

Our

program

proceeds

from

their

long-established

and

successful

models,

but

seeks

to

expand

the

mandate

of

the

artist

colony—and

try

new

things

that

might

expand

the

notion

of

a

creative

residency.

Expressions

of

interest

and

project

proposals

are

always

welcome,

and

there

is

no

application

form

or

fee.

History

of

the

TSKW

residencies In

January

2008

we

hosted

our

first

ever

artist-in-residence,

Helsinki-based

American

photographer,

Curt

Richter.

He

helped

us

launch

our

primary

artist

cottage,

the

Mango

Tree

House,

and

installed

his

major

show,

Faces

&

Stories,

in

the

Armory

main

hall.

While

here,

Richter

also

shot

new

portraits

of

people

about

the

island,

using

his

large-format

camera

and

the

studio

we

provided

him

on

our

campus.

TSKW

is

working

with

Richter,

and

the

Key

West

Literary

Seminar,

to

craft

that

new

body

of

portraits

into

the

2009

exhibition

project,

Still

and

All.

Since

Curt’s

inaugural

stay,

we’ve

hosted

New

Zealand

musician

Lorenzo

Buhne,

Chicago

artist

Mike

Lash,

Canadian

installation

artist

Helen

Verbanz,

and

Miami

new

media

artist

Charles

Recher.

Our

campus

has

also

seen

recent

residencies

by

author

Kristen-Paige

Madonia,

who

wrote

her

second

novel

entirely

at

the

Mango

Tree

House,

mosaic

designer

Jenifer

Strachan,

musicians

Dean

Wareham

and

Britta

Phillips,

and

prolific

Brooklynbased

painter

Steve

Keene.

Expanding

beyond

the

artist

residency,

TSKW

has

pioneered

a

new

short-term

residency

intended

for

America’s

leading

arts

administrators,

museum

curators,

symphony

directors,

and

other

creative

producers

(who

are

not

eligible

for

most

standard

residency

programs).

We

call

this

the

Cultural

Manager

Residency,

and

are

now

planning

a

dozen

or

more

for

the

2009

year.

As

a

result,

in

2009

our

island

will

play

host

to

the

head

of

the

Maine

College

of

Art,

a

Dean

from

the

Chicago

Art

Institute

School,

the

cultural

affairs

officer

from

Madison,

Wisconsin,

and

directors

of

residency

programs

from

across

North

America.

Innovative

residency

partnerships

are

also

in

the

works

with

Martha

Wilson

and

Franklin

Furnace,

to

support

the

avant-garde

organization’s

annual

Fellows

by

offering

time

on

our

campus

in

Key

West.

TSKW

is

also

developing

exchanges

and

new

residencies

with

New

York

City’s

extraordinary

Gershwin

Hotel,

small

theatre

troupes

and

stage

projects,

and

various

city

cultural

affairs

offices

around

the

country.

Our

next

area

of

residency

develop-

tskw.org

Southernmost Residencies at the studios of key west ment,

to

be

explored

in

2009,

will

focus

on

exchanges

between

Caribbean

and

Latin

American

cultural

centers

and

our

own

creative

island.

And

beyond

that,

TSKW

is

considering

the

idea

of

cluster

residencies,

for

up

to

6

artists

and

cultural

managers

from

the

same

city,

as

a

collective

experience

from

one

creative

community

(like

Seattle,

Providence,

or

Chicago)

to

another

(Key

West).

It’s

all

part

of

our

plan

to

craft

a

bold

new

kind

of

creative

community

at

Mile

Marker

0.

What

are

the

TSKW

cottages

like? Our

Mango

Tree

House

is

a

renovated

2-story

townhouse

with

a

newly

landscaped

garden,

bedroom

and

bath

upstairs,

kitchen,

bath,

and

lounge

downstairs,

and

a

studio

room

that

can

be

used

as

a

work

space,

office,

rehearsal

room,

or

2nd

bedroom.

It

is

furnished

with

all

the

basics,

and

comes

with

two

cruiser

bicycles,

laptop

computer,

and

wifi

connection.

Thanks

to

several

generous

local

Patrons,

TSKW

is

expanding

beyond

our

primary

residency

site,

to

include

3

additional

charming

and

quaint

cottages

in

Old

Town.

If

you

own

a

home

or

cottage

in

the

Lower

Keys

and

might

consider

donating

unused

time

and

space

for

an

official

TSKW

visiting

artist,

instructor,

or

cultural

manager,

please

contact

our

office

in

the

Historic

Armory.

An

island

setting

rich

in

heritage The

surrounding

island

community

is

small,

two-by-four

miles,

and

most

people

get

around

on

bicycle

or

foot.

There

are

Cuban

groceries,

sandwiches,

and

cafe

con

leche

on

every

other

corner.

It

is

80

degrees

in

the

winter,

and

a

beach

is

never

far

away.

Flowers

bloom

year-round,

fruit

trees

proliferate,

and

lizards

and

geckos

rum

rampant

throughout

our

gardens.

Protected

from

the

American

mainland

by

120

miles

of

bridges

and

other

islands,

Key

West

keeps

one

foot

in

the

Caribbean

and

cherishes

its

independent

identity

as

the

Conch

Republic.

Long

a

home

to

artists

and

creative

people,

the

ghosts

of

Hemingway,

Robert

Frost,

Wallace

Stevens,

Zane

Grey,

Elizabeth

Bishop,

Tennessee

Williams,

Mario

Sanchez,

and

Shel

Silverstein

still

haunt

our

Old

Town

neighbor-

hood.

And

on

any

given

day,

it’s

not

unusual

to

run

into

modern-day

creative

people,

such

as

Judy

Blume,

Billy

Collins,

Jimmy

Buffett,

Meg

Cabot,

Seward

Johnson,

and

Annie

Dillard.

There

is

a

ubiquitous

population

of

wild

chickens

scattered

about

the

island—reviled

by

some,

celebrated

by

others.

The

island

also

contains

cruise

ship

tourists

by

day,

Bacchic

revelers

and

lively

bar

scenes

by

night,

boutiques

and

drag-clubs

along

Duval

Street,

as

well

as

an

assortment

of

fishermen,

divers,

bikers,

native

Conchs,

outlaws,

beach-goers,

and

free-spirited

libertines.

It

is

a

community

long-celebrated

for

tolerance

and

the

ubiquitous

official

motto,

One

Human

Family.

How

do

I

apply?

Artists

interested

in

a

TSKW

Residency,

generally

a

one

month

stay,

are

welcome

to

apply

at

any

time.

Arts

administrators,

program

officers

and

curators

who

can

get

away

from

their

busy

roles

for

a

week

or

two

are

also

welcome

to

express

interest

in

the

new

TSKW

Cultural

Manager

Residency.

Please

send

a

letter

expressing

your

interest,

a

CV

or

biography,

samples

of

your

work,

details

of

what

you’d

like

to

accomplish

while

here,

ideal

dates,

and

anything

else

you’d

like

to

include

for

our

review.

Participants

must

be

able

to

cover

travel

to

and

from

Key

West,

as

well

as

some

living

expenses

while

on

the

island.

Ground

transportation,

in

Old

Town,

some

meals,

and

other

amenities

will

be

provided

by

Based

on

review

of

any

project

proposals,

TSKW

also

considers

providing

support

for

creative

projects

undertaken

while

in

residence

and

that

have

an

impact

on

the

KEY WEST PICTURE SHOW

Begun

in

August

2006,

One

Night

Stand

is

our

annual

summer

collaborative

extravaganza.

This

24-hour

theatre

project

brings

together

teams

of

actors,

set

artists,

directors,

and

playwrights,

and

gives

them

one

day

to

write,

rehearse,

stage,

and

perform

entirely

new

oneact

plays.

The

Armory

becomes

a

creative

frenzy,

and

our

house

is

packed

to

gunnels

for

the

evening

premiere

when

the

curtain

comes

up,

and

the

new

plays

unfold.

Our

2009

One

Night

Stand

is

scheduled

for

Saturday,

August

1,

so

mark

your

calendar

for

this

slow

season

tradition.

In

early

2007,

inspired

by

the

1978

mock

travel

documentary,

The

Key

West

Picture

Show,

we

decided

to

call

together

the

island’s

film

and

video

artists

and

challenge

them

to

create

new

short

films

based

on

unique

aspects

of

the

here

and

now.

The

resulting

eight

shorts

premiered

at

The

Tropic

Cinema,

and

enjoyed

weekly

screenings

throughout

the

Spring.

Filmmakers

interviewed

long-time

residents

about

the

old

days

on

the

island,

explored

the

nooks

and

crannies

of

Stock

Island,

delved

into

the

heritage

of

the

Green

Parrot,

made

music

and

good

times

at

Blue

Heaven,

and

depicted

a

tourist’s

romance

with

our

tropic

isle.

Thanks

to

generous

sponsorship

from

Margaritaville,

we

launched

a

successful

film

and

video

project

now

known

as

The

Return

of

the

Key

West

Picture

Show.

the

gathered

almost

60

local

creative

people—from

writers

to

photographers

and

painters

to

video-makers—and

had

them

circulating

throughout

the

neighborhood

making

new

art.

Projects & Initiatives an island of inspiration ARTISAN HOLIDAY FAIR

CURT RICHTER/ STILL AND ALL

ART-O-MAT

In

2007,

just

before

the

holidays,

TSKW

invited

over

a

dozen

local

artists

and

craftspeople

to

show

their

work

as

part

of

our

Walk

on

White

evening.

We

called

it

the

Holiday

Artisan

Fair,

and

that

evening

began

a

new

annual

tradition.

Each

Fall,

we

invite

artisans

from

throughout

the

Keys

to

show

their

work

during

the

November

Walk

on

White,

then

we

encourage

our

island’s

art-lovers

to

come

along,

discover

something

new,

and

stock

up

on

original

holiday

gifts.

If

you’d

like

to

participate

in

the

2009

Artisan

Fair

at

the

Armory,

simply

contact

our

office

for

details

on

how

to

become

a

featured

artist.

Last

January,

our

first

visiting

artist

set

up

a

studio

in

the
