Key West Mayor Teri Johnston, during the April City Commission meeting, proclaimed April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
The designation calls attention to the fact that sexual violence is widespread and harms the health and safety of our whole community. Statistics show that one in five women and one in 67 men will experience sexual assault in their lifetimes. Sexual violence inflicts trauma on survivors' physical and mental health, robbing them of their sense of safety in their community.
"Christina's Courage offers survivor-centered supportive services and counseling for sexual assault survivors in Key West," reads the proclamation, "and we, as a community, can support survivors of sexual assault and help foster healing by holding offenders accountable and believing survivors."

Drawing on more than 20 years of experience working above and below the waterline, Mehgan Heaney-Grier will lead the audience on a journey of exploration, adventure, and ocean stewardship. In sharing experiences from her pioneering freedive records, Hollywood stunt diving, and work on an elite team of explorers for the Discovery Channel, she will convey how a life of adventure can cultivate not only a deep connection with the environment, but also the sense responsibility to protect it.
A former Keys resident, Mehgan established the first U.S. freedive record for both men and women, in the constant weight category and is an original inductee into the Women Divers Hall of Fame. She holds a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and Anthropology. She is also a mother, established micro-influencer on social media, and a strong female figure for young people around the world.
As an ocean advocate, adventurer and storyteller across multiple media platforms, Mehgan is dedicated to raising awareness and empowering the next generation of ocean stewards to engage and tackle the critical issues facing our oceans today.

Acclaimed mystery authors, celebrated storytellers and the fans who love them are set to rendezvous on the tropical island where so many have found literary inspiration during the 6th Annual Mystery Fest Key West, set for June 28-30, 2019 in Key West, Florida. During the weekend's series of panels, presentations and social events, Mystery Fest attendees will have the opportunity to learn first-hand how to craft or refine their own tales of crime, murder and mystery from a stellar line-up of high-profile mystery and suspense luminaries and true-crime experts.
|

2019 headliners are Keynote Speaker Jeffery Deaver, the international bestselling and global multi-award winning suspense-thriller author of 40 novels, including the wildly popular "Lincoln Rhyme" series books; New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Heather Graham, New York Times bestselling authors Lisa Black, Carla Norton, and Diane A.S.

Founded in 2014, the Mystery Fest Key West quickly grew in fame and attendance, but "still has the intimacy of a boutique-sized convention with lots of direct interaction between authors and audience," commented author, publisher and Fest co-founder Shirrel Rhoades. "And, because of the star-power of our guest authors, the fascinating panels and unique social events, we also attract writers and fans of other genres as well." Beginning Friday afternoon, June 28, Mystery Fest highlights are to include an opening wine and cheese party on the veranda of Key West's iconic Custom House Museum with author Heather Graham and Key West Mayor Teri Johnston presiding, keynote luncheon with Deaver, a killer line-up of panels and presentations examining everything from "Forensics for Writers" to "How I Plot a Mystery," author book signings, a rum sampling event at Hemingway Rum Company/Papa's Pilar Distillery, a Bloody Mary Morning breakfast at the historic Schooner Wharf Bar, a chance to win a cameo "character placement" role in author Gray Basnight's next mystery tale, and presentation of the annual Whodunit Mystery Writing Award. Event registration is $195 and includes all panels, presentations, a lunch and a brunch, and social events, with panels and presentations taking place at The Studios of Key West in the island's Old Town historic district.

Peek into the past at Key West Art & Historical Society's upcoming vintage postcards exhibit at Custom House Museum
Tourists have been visiting Key West and the Florida Keys since the mid-1800s, and Key West Art & Historical Society has an extensive postcard collection which documents it. On Friday, May 10, from 6:00pm - 7:00pm in the Bumpus Gallery at the Custom House Museum, a new exhibit titled "Wish You Were Here: Postcards From Paradise" will showcase more than 130years' worth of vintage images taken from Key West Art & Historical Society's archives, a repository that contains over 2,000 collected and digitized postcards.
The exhibit will feature aesthetically engaging cards in original, reproduction, and enlarged formats as well as information on the many facets of postcard collecting and their influence on social, economic, and architectural history.
"Postcards are like windows into the past, windows that convey glimpses of particular places, times, emotions, and sentiments," says Society Curator Cori Convertito, Ph.D. "Postcards representing geographic locations, such as the Florida Keys, served as modestly-priced, mass-produced means of communication, and were particularly prominent during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries."
While each card's written and pictorial content is different, each is a portal to the cultural and social values of the time in which they were written and sent.
"They are an exceptional source of social history because they reveal what was popular or seen as important in the region where the postcard was sold," says Convertito. "They can, in an ancestral sense, be thought of as the predecessor of today's social media sites such as Instagram - a filtered/enhanced image alongside personal sentiments."
"Wish You Were Here: Postcards from Paradise"will run through August 11. For more information call Cori Convertito, Ph.D., at 305-295-6616 x112, or email her at cconvertitofarrar@kwahs.org, or visit kwahs.org. Your Museums. Your Community. It Takes an Island.

SOLID UNCERTAINTY by MICHEL DELGADO in the Sanger Gallery. Sponsored by Truman & Co.
Bottom-L) Delgado works with the idea of experience - mining visual images for their emotional and spiritual content. Never having a preconceived image in mind, he seeks to portray things that are not obvious in reality, focusing instead on the composition and the balance of the work. This amalgamation of uncertainty and confidence brings his work to life in surprising ways.
ACTIVE DUTY by ALAINA PLOWDREY in the XOJ Gallery. Sponsored by The Perry Hotel
(Bottom-R) Alaina Plowdrey explores ideas of physicality, drive and determination in her portraits of active duty service members. Linking her paintings to the ideas of philosopher and poet Lucretuis, Plowdrey delves into the psyche of the soldier.

GRACY@KEYSDIGINET.COM Gracy Lozano Byrne
Gracy sends regards and tells us : This website was created to make easier to event goers to find times and dates. Companies can save time and always have updated/available events available to them and their customers. They don't have to search every local news paper to find what they need. They have ready and combined information on one calendar. It's also online and therefore very convenient. Most people are digital nowadays. Another selling point is that the calendar of events will provide useful information that can be used for scheduling. Any company who is having a special event can look at the global calendar and avoid clashing times/dates with other organizations. This also allows them to attract more people to their events by scheduling their own events when other organizations aren't scheduled.
