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."

In 1974, James w as appointed the official photographer for NARM

Over 150 of his photographs are included in the permanent Collection of The Rock and Roll  Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.

LISA ESPOSITO

ZABAR PROJECT GALLERY

Monroe County Sheriff Rick Ramsay provided United Way of the Florida Keys President/CEO Leah Stockton with a $500 check on Monday.

The donation makes the Sheriff's Office a key sponsor of the United Way's Community Resource Guide, which is nearing publication. 

This donation came from the use of forfeiture funds, Sheriff Ramsay often uses forfeiture funds to help or purchase items in need by other law enforcement agencies, non-profits and community-minded organizations in the Florida Keys. Such funds are gathered from criminal investigations and at no cost to taxpayers. The practice is one the legs of Sheriff Ramsay's central view that strong community partnerships improve neighborhoods and lower crime

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.

Nation's Kinetic Parade Craze Hits Key West with Fourth Annual Family-Friendly Papio Kinetic Sculpture and Art Bike Parade 
Key West has long been known for its air of kinetic energy, but on Saturday, May 4 at high noon it's about to become entirely literal when the Fourth Annual Papio Kinetic Sculpture and Art Bike Parade, presented by Key West Art & Historical Society and co-produced by Wonderdog Productions, rolls through downtown Key West toward the Truman Waterfront Amphitheater with its cavalcade of art-inspired, human-powered, mobile sculptures, and art bikes. "As the parade enters its fourth year, we are excited to see this event grow both in support and participation," says Society Executive Director Michael Gieda.  "We are thrilled to rank among kinetic events around the country providing engaging, community-focused offerings that merge art, science, history, and fun."
 
The first ever Kinetic Sculpture Race started in 1969 in Ferndale, California, and later grew to include national cutting-edge race events in Humbolt, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Port Townshend. Since then, many communities have joined the kinetic craze, offering their own variation of floats-with-moving-parts-parades. The Society took our region's laid-back attitude and rebel ingenuity into account when kicking off thePapio Kinetic Sculpture and Art Bike Paradein May 2016, eliminating the "race" component but adding the element of "art bikes" for the town known for its pedaling revelers, as well as launching a robust educational component for schools and kids. 
 
In past years,spectators have been treated to the sight of astonishingly imaginative, totally human-powered works of art traversing the length of historic Duval Street, including a supersized narwhal that winked at spectators, a pedaled 46-foot-long Flagler's train, a pelican whose widespread wings flapped as it towed parasailing minnows, a tribute to Shel Silverstein's "The Giving Tree," a 15-foot-long silver time machine made of moving gears and cogs with a futuristically-costumed human pilot, an eagle ray powered by three bicycling men dressed as remoras, an enormous flying pig, and a ship with waves, straight out of "Where The Wild Things Are." With 2019 creations being built by several sponsored "Papio Ambassadors" artist teams and several school teams supported by scholarships and led by "Kinetic Coaches" Suzanne Brown and Crystal Smith, this year's parade promises to offer another astounding visual feast with spectacular kinetic sculpture floats and art bikes created by "The Dynamic Junk Pedalers" team of Dee Dee Green, Ryan Stachurski, Marley Claridge, John "Johnny O" Ortiz, Kim Stamps, Sharon Brophy, Christina Ramerez, Tony Lopez and canine friend Henry, along with solo Ambassadors Jack McDonald, Suzanne Brown, Cayman Smith-Martin, Jeremy Hackworth, Elle Fernandez, and David Hutchinson. 
Surrounding Papio Parade weekend events include aFriday May 3, presentation by artist/academic Molly Ross titled "Spectacle in the Street: Art of the Parade" from 6:00-7:00pm at the Custom House Museum, a fabulous parade after-party at the Truman Waterfront Amphitheater on May 4, with awards ceremony, live music performed by The Wilde Awake featuring Tony Baltimore, refreshment booths, and an incredible Kid's Zone complete with a rock climbing wall, giant water slide, obstacle course, "Papio's Recycled Art Workshop" area, archery tag, the famous Imagination Playground giant blue blocks, and a fun inflatable special for the very wee ones. On Sunday, May 5 there's free admission all day to Fort East Martello Museum and its permanent exhibit of Stanley Papio sculpture works. 
Come watch the Parade, or-register your own kinetic sculpture float or art bike now to add to the kinetic frenzy of fun. For registration information, event schedule, entry guidelines, festival tickets, and sponsorship information, visit www.papiokineticparade.com. The Papio Kinetic Sculpture and Art Bike Parade is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts. Additional support provided by the Monroe County tourist Development Council, the Helmerich Trust, Margaritaville Key West Resort & Marina, Key TV, Keys Weekly, Law Offices of Samuel J. Kaufman, and First State Bank of the Florida Keys. Your Museums. Your Community. It takes an island.

CONNECTIONS PROJECT
As well as being connected by the iconic Overseas Highway, the 125-mile-long Florida Keys island chain also is connected by a vibrant community of artists. From now through May 3, art lovers can view a travelling 24-foot mural featuring the work of close to 400 creative spirits during a series of exhibitions throughout the Keys. "The Connections Project: A Mosaic of the Keys" comprises nearly 400 individual canvases measuring 6 inches square that were provided to artists and arts-minded residents.
Their resultant works - produced in mediums ranging from oils and watercolor to photography, mixed media and quilting - showcase subjects including birds and sea life, palms and waterfront scenes, abstract visions and local landmarks.
"The mural's 'road show' tour from Key Largo to Key West celebrates the longstanding connections between the communities of the Keys," said Elizabeth Young, executive director of the Florida Keys Council of the Arts, which spearheaded the project.

Art lovers can make a $50 donation for one individual canvas or a $125 donation for three at any reception or online at keysarts.com. Each donor will receive a randomly selected, unique piece of the mosaic by mail with an artist statement sharing their inspiration. Proceeds from the Connections Project benefit local artists and arts organizations through arts council grants. To participate in the Connections Project, or for more information: keysarts.com or 305-295-4369
