Come celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the hit musical film Moulin Rouge on Thursday night, November 18. This is not your ordinary screening - KWFF kicks it up a notch by making it a sing-a-long led by local performing legend Epiphany for a night under the stars of rousing song, dance and debauchery as only 1890's Paris could provide! 

We're also continuing our tradition of having a free outdoor screening of a concert film on Sunday night to close out the festival, and this year, we'll be hosting the Florida Premiere of Eric Clapton: The Lady in the Balcony - The Lockdown Sessions. When Clapton's Spring 2020 tour was cancelled due to the pandemic, he convened his band at his getaway in the UK to do a filmed version of the tour. It's as intimate a performance as you'll ever see from one of the most gifted musicians of our time.  Check out the trailer here!

Montessori United 5K Race and Kids Fun Run – November 14, 2021
KEY WEST, FL - There are two Montessori schools along United Street in Key West, and this year they are partnering up to co-host a 5K race and family fun run at Higgs Beach on Sunday, November 14, at 8:00 a.m. This fundraiser event includes a 5K, a 1-mile race and a half-mile kids’ fun run. Pre-registration is $30 for adults and $15 for kids and the proceeds benefit May Sands Montessori School and The Montessori Children’s School. Visit https://www.themeruns.com/ to register.
Founded in 1972, The Montessori Children’s School, located at 1221 Varela Street, is Key West’s oldest Montessori program. As a private, non-profit school, its program educates children from 18 months through 6th grade.
May Sands Montessori School, located at 1400 United Street, isMonroe County’s first charter school. Established almost 25 years ago, this tuition-free Montessori option serves students from Key West and the Lower Keys in grades VPK through 8th. 
Both schools offer the distinctive Montessori educational model to local families. The methodology involves multi-grade classrooms and an extensive curriculum implemented with hands-on materials and cross-discipline learning. Amy O’Connor, Executive Director of the Children’s School, explains, “A Montessori teacher is trained to introduce a child to may activities and concepts based upon their knowledge of child development and observations of the children, ultimately resulting in an individualized education for each child." Lynn Barras, Principal of May Sands Montessori, adds, “Many parents today are looking for alternatives to the one-size-fits all approach of the traditional education in this country, and Montessori education provides a more child-led, empowering approach.” 
The Montessori United 5K has the support of more than 25 community businesses. Top sponsors include Kimpton Key West, Key West Cooling Co., Tarpon Diem, Seaside Café, Barefoot Appraisal, Opal Key Resort, Cuban Coffee Queen and Two Oceans Digital.

Balancing the fun and adventure of the Florida Keys with marine stewardship and sustainability is no easy task. The United Way of Collier and the Keys has taken a big step in bringing both of those worlds together. As part of the partnership with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), UWCK has launched a comprehensive Marine Science Resource Guide. Found at KeyToTheSeas.org, it is a free online portal for residents and visitors - a place to find excursions, educational opportunities, and careers centered around marine science in the Florida Keys.

High and Dry: Key West Art & Historical Society elevates then celebrates Fort East Martello Parade Grounds with November and December COAST Is Clear concerts
 
While some tides may be King, the oceanside parade grounds of Fort East Martello are now queen-high and dry thanks to a Monroe County restoration and enhancement project in collaboration with Key West Art & Historical Society. The newly-completed $530,000 effort, supported by the Tourist Development Council, benefactors Anne McKee, her husband the late Ross McKee, the late Margo Golan, Key West’s Save A Tree, and many other individual donors ensure that the spacious parade grounds will be useable for a variety of outdoor events, including education programs, private venue rentals, and concerts with pop-up stages, including the upcoming Thursday, November 4 free-for-locals “G. Love” concert— a prelude to the COAST Is Clear Arts & Music Festival coproduced by COAST Projects, featuring Grammy nominated headliners Black Pumas set for Saturday, December 4— and a celebration of the new space.

Call to Artists for Public Art at 533 Eaton Street!
Phase one deadline: November 21st, 2021

  1. The Studios of Key West is seeking proposals for public art at its primary facility at 533 Eaton Street, a three story, 16000sf art center with galleries, classrooms, a theater, roof terrace and bookstore. Although any proposals will be considered, our interest is centered on two locations: the Lower Roof area, not regularly accessible by the public, but visible from the terrace
  2. the Stairwell, four stories high with blank walls and an open central space stretching 57’
The Studios has $26,438 designated for public art as the remaining portion of its 1% for Art obligation from the renovations of our facility. However, that figure is a minimum, not a limit; depending on the proposals we receive, our final budget may be up to twice that. Open to artists and design professionals working in all media who demonstrate creativity, professionalism, and relevant experience. Artists living or working in Monroe County, or who have a previous relationship with The Studios (eg. former artists-in-residence) will be given some preference, but quality and suitability for the project are our primary concerns.
