In celebration of Connie Gilbert's memorable life, the Key West chapter of the National Organization for Women, which Connie founded, is sponsoring a fundraising event on Feb. 17  for its Connie Gilbert Scholarship fund. The highlight of the event is a live orchid auction.  It will be from 1 to 4 p.m. at The Bottlecap, 1128 Simonton St.

Connie died at age 77 on Sept. 4, 2016, from a stroke.  She was committed to the fight for social justice and was active in every significant civil rights struggle in her lifetime.  A candidate for the Connie Gilbert Scholarship must be a permanent local resident who identifies as a woman.  The live orchid auction portion starts at 3:30 p.m.  Also featured a fabulous silent auction that ends at 3:30 p.m. A Heads or Tails raffle will also be offered.

Live music will accompany the festivities. The entire community is invited for this opportunity to honor the memory of Connie Gilbert by supporting this NOW-sponsored scholarship.  Many Keys people remember her as a lifelong patron of the arts and an accomplished writer, publishing many works of fiction, poetry, and journalism.  She also appeared in local theater performances, worked backstage on Broadway and participated in local arts performances.

J. H. Allen is building a reputation for sophisticated work in an expressive style using the medium of Fresco.  This age-old method of making art uses plaster and water based pigment to create beautiful panels of texture and color effects that are not readily achievable in other paint mediums.  Allen has gained notoriety over the past several years for painting monumental sized murals on commission from Monroe County and the City of Key West.  This show will feature new work in this medium done on wood panels that make them appropriate for hanging in private living spaces.

Come out and view a preliminary study for "Ten Native Plants and Trees" which was commissioned for permanent installation in the lobby of Key West City Hall.  Winning a competition that received over 42 other applicants, J. H. Allen became one of the first local artists chosen by the Key West Art in Public Places Committee to provide art for a public building in Key West.  His command of the medium of fresco was a major contributor to his winning the award.  In addition to this one-man show featuring J. H. Allen, Stone Soup will be holding monthly exhibitions through the 2019 season during their 3rd Thursday Art Walks on White. This Thursday, February 21st also happening on White Street is an open house at Shade and Shutter, 1102 White St. End your evening watching a dance performance at 8pm at the Coffee Mill Dance Studio next door to Stone Soup Gallery, 802 White St.

 "Antarctica" Will be Hanging Until 2/14; and Up Shortly in this More of "Antarctica". Here is info on the Joanne Sloan Exhibition
Summer Clouds II 24 X 20 by Joanne Sloan
GLOW: A Bold Bright New Direction by Joanne Sloan, February 15 - March 1, 2019
The Key West Art Center will present GLOW, a solo show of Joanne Sloan's original acrylic paintings with an opening reception on Friday, February 15 from 5 to 7 pm.
 Vivid impasto paintings glow with the Keys spectacular sunrises and sunsets, portray the whimsy of cloud formations and evoke feelings of wonder in us of our island paradise. Although the works are typical of the Keys skies, seas and flora, her depictions are all her own. Joanne has been a juried member of the Key West Art Center for over ten years and, as she has grown into a mature artist, her work has taken a decidedly different turn becoming brighter and more textural. These new paintings are looser and more impressionistic reflecting a certain Keys freedom. At the same time the artist senses how little control we have in the face of wind, water and our tropical weather, which are the very things we love about this place.
Each painting is titled with a simple word or phrase but further explained by an accompanying original poem. These poems provide an interesting footnote to the thoughts and motivation of the artist in producing each work. Although movement, color and texture in the paintings seem obvious, the poems offer a second look at each piece.Every show attendee on opening night February 15 will be entered in a raffle to win one of Joanne's original art pieces. Additional raffle tickets are available for purchase and serve as a fund raiser for the gallery. The drawing will take place at the show's end March 1 and you do not need to be present to win.
For further information, contact Key West Art Center, 701 Front Street, 305-294-1241 or their Facebook page.

We'll have Photos from these next two Exhibitions &  Receptions in the Next Few Weeks.

Here is a Detailed Description of the Vey Exhibition from Nance Frank
Like the wind that blows up suddenly, Vey's embrace of color, freewheeling palate knife strokes, frequent distortions of space, and intensifications of motion established him as a leader of American tropic painters. He made his debut 23 years ago at the Gallery on Greene.  Vey has become the most successful painter in The Florida Keys.   
His buoyant qualities and seemingly constant state of joy are palpable and irresistible to most critics, gallerist, fellow artists & collectors. 
 
The variety of techniques in his portfolio have constantly evolved, gleaned from studying the work of Hopper, Homer, Bellows, Albers, Hoffman and Courbet and others on his own after completing an Art History degree at Duke.  
 
Vey's works of The Florida Keys, Cuba, Paris, New York City and other places he visits are emotionally compelling and arresting.  
Memories of Ballast Key is a pivotal work in the exhibit. This depiction of the shores of the only inhabited island in the Great White Heron Reserve has been a constant source of inspiration for Peter Vey.  Using only one tool, an artist's mixing knife, he coaxes paint to yield both the finest of lines and flat expanses of pure hue. He begins by making a loose sketch, to nail down the composition, and then builds up a picture area by area, much like the Renaissance fresco painters.
 
Up  Close and Beautiful is a portrait of Key West in wood and chunky, vibrant paint.  Shadows and brilliant sunlight highlight the traditional Key West historic home's gingerbread and stately lines.  Although Vey has painted much of the incomparable architecture of Key West,  his love of the spontaneity makes his realist work so strikingly fresh.  
Snowy Madison Square Park elicits New York's resplendent architecture and quiet spaces. 
 
Vey, who is as laid-back and upbeat as his paintings, has an easy but apt response: "There's plenty of art that throws you into an introspective tailspin," he says. "I like to celebrate life. That's important to me."

COAST PROJECTS 2/17
YONDER MOUNTAIN STRING BAND HEADS TO KEY WEST
Colorado-Based Bluegrass Band Back For One Night Only

Yonder Mountain String Band, the internationally acclaimed Colorado-based bluegrass jam band, rolled into town last year to play what their diehard fans recounted as the smallest venue they've seen them play since their early days in the late 1990s. And now they're headed back down the mountain to the historic San Carlos Institute for one night only on February 17. The show is being produced and promoted by Coast Projects and was originally slated to take place at their venue on Stock Island.

Says COAST founder Billy Kearins, "Last year's show was quite a scene - a 70 foot tour bus pulling up to our little tin shed on Stock Island and a packed house for what was likely the band's most intimate performance in years. Considering our recent move out of Stock Island, we'll be hosting the hoedown at one of my favorite places to watch music - the historic San Carlos Institute - so I'm equally as excited to see them play there."
Last year was Yonder Mountain's first ever show in Key West and was an audience hit as the band has a huge local following as well as a traveling fan base who always look to see them in new and different spots around the country.

The February show at San Carlos is part of the band's extensive winter tour route and tickets are nearly sold out. The night will open with Fayetteville, Arkansas's dynamic duo Handmade Moments - who are building their own nationwide fanbase and supporting the entire winter tour with Yonder.
Tickets can be purchased fee-free at the COAST retail shop at 803 Whitehead Street or online through their website www.coastprojects.com/store

Larry Blackburn, Deb Moore and Sandy Sun at Frangipani Gallery for the February Exhibition

Frangipani Gallery is pleased to welcome Larry Blackburn and his photography as our newest artist.  His beautiful photographs will be on display at the First Friday Art Stroll on Feb 1 from 6-8 pm.  We will also feature new paintings by Deborah Moore and ceramics by Sandy Sun. Please stop by and meet the artists. The show will be up through February

Everyone knows Larry stands out in a crowd and he and his camera are everywhere. As Fantasy Fest King, Larry has embarked on a year of fundraising for various organizations.  His iconic photos of Key West scenes and nature are sure to delight.

Deborah Moore has long referred to Key West as the "eclectic cul de sac of society" because of its mix of personalities, architecture and history that live essentially on a cul de sac with one road in and out.  Even though she visited Key West in the 80's and many times thereafter before moving here, Deborah still find new discoveries around every corner.  This show will encompass more of those discoveries and the different architectures of Key West.

Sandy has been exploring botanical themes and experimenting with nuances in texture.  Her ceramics encompass both functional forms and wall tiles.

"Poinciana Shadows" by Deborah J. Moore
"Sunset" by Larry Blackburn
"Mango Plate" by Sandy Sun

 Key West Art & Historical Society invites public to embark on a virtual journey aboard Flagler's Overseas Railway 
 
A year after Key West Art & Historical Society unveiled a newly renovated "Overseas to the Keys: Henry Flagler's Overseas Railway" permanent exhibit at the Custom House Museum, its virtual counterpart is now available to researchers, students, historians, history buffs, and Flagler fans all over the world.  The Society's new online exhibit, "Henry Flagler's Overseas Railway Timeline," is a multi-media experience created by Annette Liggett, Brewster Chamberlin, and Society Curator Cori Convertito, Ph.D. that details the construction process of the engineering feat that joined mainland Florida to Key West in 1912. Visit kwahs.org/education/overseas-railway-timeline to explore the "Eight Wonder of the World," and check back for additional related online features and downloadable curriculum that will be launched over the coming six months.

The Key West Police Department, with the help of a grant from the Florida Department of Transportation, is continuing a program aimed at improving the safety of bicyclists and pedestrians in particularly accident-prone areas of the island. Recent studies have shown that Key West, when compared to cities of equal size, ranks #4 for bicycle injuries and #4 for incidents involving pedestrians. Over the past several years, Key West has dropped in ranking from #1 to #4 for bicycle injuries -with the help of these FDOT grants. The "Alert Today, Alive Tomorrow" FDOT campaign is providing grant funding so that the Key West Police can step up enforcement in targeted areas to stop unsafe behavior or all road users: motorists, pedestrians and cyclists.
 
Officers are increasing their presence in all of the crosswalks on North Roosevelt Blvd., including those at the Triangle. These High Visibility Enforcement Details are funded through a contract with the University of North Florida in partnership with FDOT.  The program is an effort to educate motorists as well as cyclist and pedestrians. The goal of the enforcement is to change behaviors. Anyone driving a vehicle needs to be aware of cyclists and respect their right to share the road. Motorists must be aware of and yield to pedestrians in the crosswalks. Pedestrians must use crosswalks and be sure they are visible to drivers when walking at night. Cyclists need to obey the rules of the road. The goal of the grant is shows real reductions in injuries and fatalities by changing behaviors.  That means that bikes, when travelling in the road, must go with the flow of traffic, stop at all lights and stop signs, and use lights at night. It's also illegal for a bicyclist to pass a car on the right, especially through an intersection. Bicycles may ride on sidewalks, however they must yield to pedestrians and give an audible signal when passing someone on foot. Bikes and motorists must yield to pedestrians.
