Pt. 3 Guild Hall Gallery Artists

Pictured here is Alfred Hitchcock, pioneer and master of the suspense and thriller genres. Oddly enough, Hitchcock never won a "Best Director Oscar" Award in his lifetime... even though he is now widely considered one of the greatest directors of all time. His companion here is none other than Leo the Lion, mascot for Hollywood film studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as well as its predecessors, Goldwyn Pictures. Leo was featured in the studio's production logo. Since 1916 there have been seven different lions used for the MGM logo. Only the current lion (pictured here), who has been in use since 1957 (a total of 60 years), actually bore the name Leo.

Allison Rich, Sr. Library Assistant, and Michael Nelson of the Monroe County Public Library Informs us of this Important Presentation
700 Fleming Street, Key West, FL  33040, 305-292-3595
The Key West Library at 700 Fleming St is hosting an FWC Biologist led presentation on Iguanas on  Wednesday, December 19th at 6:00pm.  Learn about their origins in the Keys and how their presence is impacting the area.  For more information, contact the library at 305-292-3595.  
EDITORS NOTE ; I'LL BE AWAY FOR THIS; BUT HAVE WANTED TO FIND THE RIGHT MOMENT TO USE MY MAGAZINE TO HELP THE IGUANAS as Part of the Unfashionable and Unpopular View of NOT KILLING THEM.  What's the Deal Key West Residents : The Iguanas have been here for Thousands of Years ; and just like the Rooster , and our Coral Reefs make Key West Unique.  They are beautiful and are elaborate ; and the tourists love them..So what if they eat a few Plants in your garden ; or make a small a amount of bathroom waste ( All  outdoor Animals Do)..They have cute children that need protection from us and Cats, Dogs and Birds..I have spectacular gardens ( My favorite Hobby); yet the 7 regular Iguana visitors to my house and pool only eat 1 type of flower from the 30 different varieties planted.  I do believe they help control bugs. They have no diseases that our Pets or Humans can get.  My Iguana Friends come for a snack every day . I have 2 that actually come into the Lobby of the House ( The Door is Open since I seldom use A/C ; being a few blocks from the Ocean)...They wait for me to look at them ; since my attention is always at the computer Editing the Magazine. After making eye contact I go to the fridge take out snacks and feed them. They eat and leave; they never stay and chat... The 
mass public that will blindly get swayed by the few that can make money on killing Iguanas ; it sickens me how we as a so called Eclectic / Cool / Friendly to All;  and can be so Blind to this peaceful creature....and I am so tired about hearing about Invasive species that are not from here. WELL WE ARE NOT FROM HERE..The Keys : Get a Grip; what harmless beautiful Living Creature we will we make extinct next?  I plan on getting a group together to Save the Iguana; call me at 954-448-4324 or Write Ed Krane EK10@AOL.COM .. I will have asked Allison and Michael to read a brief message from me at the meeting ; perhaps they will; but if not this is going out to 7965 weekly...Please forward this to others..If I had a little more time I would show you some pics of the Inguana Kids ( They are so cute); maybe next week..Ed

Pictured here is actress and singer Cybill Shepherd who became a fashion icon after being named "Miss Teenage Memphis" during the Memphis Model of the Year contest back in 1966. Soon after, she went on to become a spokesperson for L'Oreal and graced the covers of many popular magazines.
The American model and singer, turned actress, landed some of her better-known roles throughout the 1970s. In 1971 she was cast as Jacy in The Last Picture Show, she played Kelly in The Heartbreak Kid in 1972, and then she got the role of Betsy in Taxi Driver in 1976. From there her popularity continued to bloom, she spent a chunk of the 1980s as Maddie Hayes in the popular show Moonlighting, before landing her own show Cybill which ran from 1995-1998. PINTEREST

Before becoming the First Lady, Jackie Bouvier almost married another man; World War II veteran and Wall Street Banker John Husted. She was just 22 years old at the time and quickly grew to hate the idea of becoming a housewife. By March she called the whole wedding off and mere months later started dating John F Kennedy who was a U.S. congressman at the time. She met Kennedy at a dinner-party in Georgetown, and the two hit it off. The couple had been dating for two years when he proposed, they were married in September of 1953. REDDIT

Irish-born actress and singer was famous for her fiercely passionate roles and fiery red hair, not to mention her creative alliance with Western Director John Ford. She worked with Ford on numerous films along with longtime friend John Wayne. She was one of the last surviving stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood. She co-starred alongside Charles Laughton in Alfred Hitchcock's Jamaica Inn in 1939. Then moved to Hollywood the same year to co-star with him again in the production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. After that, she was given a contract by RKO Pictures and had a long, successful career as "The Queen of Technicolor".
Some of her more famous films include; Miracle on 34th Street, Rio Grande, The Wings of Eagles, The Parent Trap, and The Rare Breed. She retired from show business in 1971, but not before starring with Wayne one last time in Big Jake. She re-emerged 20 years later to appear with John Candy in Only the Lonely (1991). WIKIPEDIA
As the LA Times so eloquently put it, "Leonard Nimoy's music blurred line between man and Vulcan." Out of the many records that Nimoy released both under his real name and as Dr. Spock, "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" (1968) just may be the most iconic. It's Spock's ode to "The Hobbit" and just may very well be the ultimate anthem for Science Fiction/Fantasy fans across the universe. It was kind of hard to tell if he was going for novelty or not but he dropped the Dr. Spock persona the same year and did his own cover of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" and John Hartford's "Love Is Sweeter". REDDIT
What many don't realize nowadays, is lifestyle guru Martha Stewart modeled in her teens and early adulthood to help pay for the portions of her education that her scholarship didn't cover. She became very successful even though it was treated as just a part-time job. She got gigs from major brands including Chanel. She then traded photoshoots for the stock market after landing a graduate role as a broker on Wall Street after college. It wasn't until restoring a farmhouse from the 1800s and launching her own catering company in 1976, that really set her "lifestyle career" in motion. REDDIT

Part 16 Continues of "Groovy History"  A Look Back at the 60's & 70's Through Photographs

Lynyrd Skynyrd was one of the greatest bands of the 70's. This photo was taken near the Hell House just outside of Green Cove Springs, Florida. The band originally formed back in 1964 as My Backyard in Jacksonville, Florida. Then they became The Noble Five and One Percent, before finally choosing "Lynyrd Skynyrd" in 1969. With signature songs like "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Free Bird", they popularized the Southern rock genre all throughout the 1970s. Tragically, two band members and a backup singer died in an airplane crash in 1977, at the peak of their success. But that didn't stop the band from selling over 28 million records in the United States. The surviving band members reformed in 1987 and Lynyrd Skynyrd continues to tour and record. WIKIPEDIA
Pictured here is the iconic Liz Taylor, lounging seductively on the set of the film Giant, back in 1956. Taylor has always been just as famous for her love life as her films, with the most scandalous of her relationships being with Eddie Fisher. Eddie Fisher was married to Taylor's best friend Debbie Reynolds when they began their affair shortly after her own husband, Mike Todd died.  Fisher was more than happy to be there for Taylor in her time of grief, unfortunately, that meant completely stepping out on his wife Debbie, and leaving her to raise their children alone. All of Hollywood was stunned by Fisher and Taylor's betrayal, they were crucified by the press. REDDIT
 

Pictured here is a somewhat perplexed looking Colonel Sanders posing with a thoroughly amused Alice Cooper. This photo was taken sometime in the 1970s.In 2014, when asked about this strange encounter, Cooper recalled; 
"Here comes this nice old man in a white suit," said Cooper. "Suddenly I realize that this is the Hannibal Lecter of chickens. I have the death of exactly one chicken on my hands, and this guy has a score of 10 billion. Yet everyone loves this guy, and hates me for being a chicken killer! The irony of the two of us being in the same room at the same time was not lost on either me or the Colonel."  REDDIT
Pictured here is rocker Joan Jett munching on some fries back in 1977. Jett was a co-founder of The Runaways, in 1979 she pursued a solo career and teamed with the Sex Pistols on a few songs. Then she formed Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, recorded new material in addition to re-releasing her older fan favorites like "I Love Rock n' Roll" and "Bad Reputation".   In recent years, Jett has had her songs featured in several films and television shows including, The Runaways, Baby Mama and Shrek. While Jett still plays live, touring extensively she is actively involved in signing new musicians to her record label, Blackheart Records. REDDIT
Pictured here is progressive rock genius of Genesis, Peter Gabriel, and the king of grunge rock Kurt Cobain. SInce the photo was taken Gabriel has gone on to continue is enormously successful music career. But sadly the same cannot be said about Cobain. He's become infamous as one of the most famous and shocking rock star suicides of all time. In 1994, Lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist of "Nirvana" shot himself in the face with a 20-gauge shotgun. It was two days before his body was found and he was only identifiable by his fingerprints. At just 27-years old his battle with depression and drug use overtook him. He left behind wife Courtney Love, daughter Frances Bean Cobain, and a successful career. REDDIT

Key West Art & Historical Society Distinguished Speaker Series guest Fred L. Borch to share insights on "The Lincoln Assassination and the Florida Keys"
 
DUE TO SPACE CONSTRAINTS I had to Edit this Feature; this sounds so Interesting
On Thursday, December 20, Key West Art & Historical Society welcomes Distinguished Speaker Series guest Fred L. Borch to the Custom House Museum, 281 Front Street. His 6:00pm presentation, "The Lincoln Assassination and the Florida Keys," provides insights into the murder of the 16th President of the United States and the imprisonment of four of the accused at Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas. 
 
On April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth shot President Abraham Lincoln in Ford's Theater. After Lincoln died the next day, the government rounded up seven men and one woman and charged them with conspiring to murder the president. In July 1865, the eight defendants were prosecuted by a military commission. All were found guilty. Four were hanged and four received terms of imprisonment-which they served at Fort Jefferson. 

A retired Army officer and lawyer, Borch is currently Regimental Historian and Archivist for the Army Judge Advocate General's Corps, the only full-time military legal historian in the U.S. Government. He was a consulting historian for the 2010 dramatic film "The Conspirator," directed by Robert Redford, and appears in the 2011 documentary film, "The Conspirator: Mary Surratt and the Plot to Kill Lincoln," directed by Tom Jennings. 
 
Distinguished Speaker Series presentation tickets are $5 for KWAHS members, $10 for non-members, and are available at kwahs.org, click 'tickets." Early ticket purchase is recommended.  Sponsored by the Helmerich Trust, Southernmost Beach Resort, and the State of Florida Division of Cultural Affairs. For more information, contact Danielle Holliday at 305-295-6616 ext114. Your Museums.  Your Community.  It takes an Island.

"Look Upwards to the Sky"
As we prepare for our final push to burst through the roof - and build our long-awaited roof terrace here at The Studios - we find ourselves looking upward quite a bit lately. Whether it's the endless blue of an ocean-colored tropical sky, the stars overhead as you bicycle home at night, or a spontaneous rainbow after a mid-afternoon shower, we invite artists to consider the simple act of looking up as metaphor for a future filled with creative possibility.

**Please note: there is no need to submit an intent to exhibit for this show. However, due to the holidays, drop off and pick up dates are firm.**

SALT ISLAND PROVISION GALLERY 830 Fleming Street  305-517-6088WWW.SALTISLANDPROVISIONS.COM 
The Next Exhibition will start with Reception on Thur. Dec. 6th. 5-8pm
SCOTT GRUPPE
SALT Gallery hosts Scott Gruppé's "Songs from a Palette Knife" in December

For the month of December, SALT Gallery (830 Fleming St., www.saltislandprovisions.com) will feature a new collection of colorful oil paintings by eccentric local artist Scott Gruppé. To celebrate Scott's new works, SALT will be hosting an opening reception at the gallery from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 6th.
Scott Gruppé has oil paint in his blood. The fourth-generation artist was born in Boston, lived in Europe for ten years and has called Key West home since 1990. In his almost twenty years in Key West, Scott has had over 11 solo shows and is also represented by several galleries in the Northeast. He has worked on glass, plexiglass, wood, foam core, tile, matte board and canvas. He is not just prolific, he is successful: the growing momentum of Gruppé's popularity has allowed him to commit full-time to his art. His customers span the globe from Chicago to Finland, China and the Ukraine. And many may recognize him as the face behind the canvas outside the popular Hemingway House.
Scott's figurative expressionism is often referred to as "poetry in motion." When clients ask him to explain his edgy work, we've heard him quote Fellini: "Don't tell me what I'm doing, I don't want to know." There is simply no other art that compares with a Scott Gruppé painting.
            "We are so excited to get Scott's epic bursts of color up on the walls at SALT," says gallery owner Laura Richardson. "His paintings are so alive with frenetic energy and somehow familiar yet provocative at the same time. What better way to end the year than with an artistic bang?"
SALT Gallery features an eclectic collection of local art, local sea salts, jewelry, pottery, wine, and Florida Keys honey. Gallery owners Maria Sharpe and Laura Richardson feature a new artist each month at SALT. Scott's work will remain on display until Jan. 3rd. For more information, call 305.517.6088 or visit www.saltislandprovisions.com.

On Saturday, December 15, lovers of history and seafaring can enjoy an illuminating two-hour excursion aboard the historic sailing vessel, "When and If," a uniquely historic 76 year old yacht built for General (then Colonel) George S. Patton in 1939. 
 
Originally commissioned by Patton with the intention of sailing around the world with his wife Bea, the "When and If" was designed by celebrated marine architect John Alden, and built by FF Pendleton, both for racing and safe, comfortable, and luxurious family voyaging. 
 
Passengers on the December 15 voyage can enjoy wine and cheese on the open water while learning about the fascinating history and 21stcentury restoration of the classic yacht from the vessel's Captain and crew. 
 
Tickets for the historic sail, which embarks from Stock Island Marina Village at 7005 Shrimp Road at 1:00pm (12:30 check-in), are $60 for Society Members, $70 for non-members. Space is limited to 28 passengers, so early registration is recommended. Sponsored in part by the Helmerich Trust. For tickets and more information, visit kwahs.org, click 'tickets,' or call Danielle Holliday at 305-295-6616 extension 114. Your museums.  Your community.  It takes an island.


Key West Art & Historical Society presents "Art & Puns: The Whimsy of Ferron Bell" exhibit at Custom House Museum

 
Key West Art & Historical Society celebrates the legacy of one of the island's most clever visual artists with "Art & Puns: The Whimsy of Ferron Bell" in the Bumpus Gallery of the Custom House Museum located at 281 Front Street.  The exhibit runs through February 10, 2019.  The exhibit spotlights the quirky late artist's trademark visual wit and whimsy, featuring work from private Key West collectors, personal photographs, and newspaper clippings about the unique personality widely known for his off-the-wall and humorous creations.  
 
A self-taught artist, Thomas Ferron Bell began his career at the age of 16 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, moved to Fire Island Pines, New York when he was 21, later splitting his time and talents between there and Key West, Florida. Bell worked full time as an artist, cultivating his audience and frequently bartering and donating his work to fundraisers in the Key West community.

The Trophia Foundation is continuing its effort to help re-green Key West in the wake of last year's hurricane. The foundation recently donated 26 trees to the City of Key West as part of their promise to replenish the city's canopy following Hurricane Irma. This recent donation includes four royal poinciana trees, four wild tamarind, four white stoppers four Jamaican capers, six autograph trees and four seven-year apple trees.  The trees were planted in various locations, and several were placed in the 17thStreet median park, which was largely denuded by the storm.  Trees donated by the Trophia Foundation since the storm grace Old Town, Bayview Park, Spottswood Park, 14th St. and Boog Powell Drive parking area.
