KALINE CARTER RETURNS TO JAG GALLERY 5/14-5/31


EDITOR's NOTE : A Sincere WELCOME to the New Gallery Manager : Chas Hickey. In the 3 Weeks he has been at the Gallery ; we have Had 2 Lengthy Discussions on ART. The Conversation was Very Interesting / Informative. Stop by the Gallery and say Hello to Letty and Chas. Ed

 

JAG Gallery welcomes the return of painter Kaline Carter for a solo exhibition with works from his popular KEY WEST HOMES series of clean, straight lined, minimal compositions. 

 

 Kaline often thinks of the color of the sky wherever he paints.  “The color of the sky in Key West is very different from a place like Palm Springs—there is more water, more density in the color of Key West, so I try to replicate that in my work.  I have had a little more fun adding some more intricate details into my Key West paintings lately—more challenging characteristics, like a bannister or a fence.  These details have provided me a great challenge.”

 

Parsons trained, Carter slipped away from painting for many years until, as an advertising rep for SOUTHWEST ART magazine he met Texas artist Ann Crouch who lured him back to the easel.  Heavily influenced by artists like Agnes Martin, Ellsworth Kelly, Frank Stella, and others, Carter developed the process and technique creating a signature style for which he is known today.

Here are first batch of many Photographs that Roberta DePiero took on her recent visit to the THE 12TH ANNUAL KEY WEST ART GARDEN from THE KEY WEST TROPICAL FOREST & BOTANICAL GARDEN 5210 COLLEGE ROAD, KW, FL. 33040 305-296-1504 WWW.KEYWEST.GARDEN

Today most of the Van Eno's works remain in private collections. His first painting to be offered at auction was "Bathers" at Hindman, Chicago in 2014.


We are so lucky to have this very special, and mysterious, piece of Van's in the gallery. 

 

Van is remembered as a private, yet generous and enormously talented man who came to the fore in the Key West art scene during the 1970s. He had arrived by way of New York City, having previously studied in Germany and England during the post-war period. Over these years, Van started painting in the style of ancient Flemish tapestries, eventually applying this to Biblical themes and all the major Greco-Roman myths. 


Before he passed away of AIDS in 1986 at the age of 39, Van did wonderful things for the Key West community, designing countless theater backdrops, costumes, and promotional materials for events. 


We are also very excited to present two new paintings by Melinda K. Hall.


Melinda is a mastermind of creativity who uses her own set of rules to produce a visual journal. Humor, metaphor, playfulness, color and text are her artistic tools of the trade. Be sure to take note of the "troller" and "tiller" details depicted above in her painting, HOUSE BOAT.


In her imaginative oil paintings, there is almost always more than meets the eye. Every work is a sophisticated, yet delightfully childlike exploration of life.

The ANNUAL LAW EFORCEMENT MEMORIALCEREMONY Continues Shortly

--------------------------------------------------------------------



We Now Start a New Photographic Feature. The natural world is full of beauty, wonder, and mystery. Nature has the power to create life and the power to take it away. As this collection of photographs show, the natural world is full of surprises that can be destructive and deadly or amazing and inspiring.

As these images were collected on the world wide web, some may be post-edited or altered. User discretion is advised.


In this now-famous photo snapped by Jean Guichard in 1989, a massive wave is nearly engulfing the Phares dans la Tempete, la Jument, a lighthouse on the northwest coast of France, near Brittany, that ironically translates to “Lighthouse in a storm.” During this storm, the lighthouse keeper, Theodore Malgorne, may look like he is calmly watching the monster waves, but he is actually awaiting rescue. Malgorne has a few colleagues tucked safely in the lighthouse, out of harm’s way. Although it looks like the wall of water is powerful enough to destroy the lighthouse, the structure received little damage and is still standing today.  

 A woman went camping 30 years ago and heard strange noises in the middle of the night so she stuck her camera outside the tent and snapped this photo. Wikipedia says that raccoons are solitary mammals who mostly keep to themselves. This photo begs to differ! It looks like a raccoon rave is going on at this campsite. Raccoons are nocturnal so they do spend most of their waking hours in the darkness. They are omnivores and opportunistic eaters. For that reason, they are generally considered to be a nuisance animal that will tear up trash cans and gardens. Campers need to take extra care to secure their food. Raccoons have tiny little hands, but they are extremely dexterous and can open coolers and boxes. The woman who took this photo outside her tent probably didn’t have her food secured. 

 A woman gets her photo taken with a tornado in the background, 1989. This girl, reported to be Audra Thomas of Beaver City, Nebraska, looks calm and cool while an F-1 tornado swirls behind her. Being a Nebraska girl, we are assuming that Audra is no stranger to tornado activity. The twister looks like it is bearing down on her but it is actually about a mile away. The funnel cloud is heading toward her family farm, shown in the background, and is destroyed a barn there. The National Weather Service frowns upon people taking selfies with twisters for safety reasons. We may look at this photo and think, “I’ll bet her mother was mad when she saw what her daughter was doing”, but it was Audra’s mother, Marrilee, that took the pic. 

J4 This little piggy did not make it to the market.

FREEDOM! Let’s call this pig Wilbur, after the pig in “Charlotte’s Web” that was also desperate to avoid the slaughterhouse. Well, Wilber seemed to have taken advantage of an over-crowded livestock truck, reportedly heading to market, to plan his escape. We are not sure of the outcome of this incident, but we hope this little piggy learned to tuck and roll or he may have ended up a tenderized ham on the freeway. 

This photo is a fake. It was created for a political ad when Teddy Roosevelt was running for the presidency for the Progressive Party, whose mascot was the moose. During this election, Roosevelt was running against Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic candidate, and William Howard Taft, the Republican incumbent. The photography firm of Underwood and Underwood carefully cut a photograph of Roosevelt on a horse and superimposed it on the image of a moose crossing a river. This image appeared in the September 8, 1912, edition of the New York Tribune. 

A Close Up Look at a Mother Wolf Spider Carrying Her Young


Most spiders wrap their eggs in an egg sack them leave their young to hatch and fend for themselves. But not the wolf spider. This amazing arachnid gets props for being the spider world’s mother of the year. The wolf spider is the only spider species in the world that carries her eggs around with her, fastened to her abdomen in a silky bundle. When the eggs hatch in 9 to 27 days, depending on temperature, the spiderlings cling to their mother’s back until they are big enough to hunt for their own food. This close-up pic shows the darling babies being carried by their doting mother. 

  A Creepy Aquarium Sculpture At Oregon Undersea Gardens.

Imagine the excitement of going for your first scuba dive. Most people envision exploring some beautiful coral reefs and maybe even petting a friendly turtle. Never in a million years do you want to be this guy. Thick tentacles wrap around you that gives you the creeps like nothing you ever even imagined in the worst horror movie you watched growing up. Mama angry octopus versus scuba diver, there is no question who wins that one...

Sailors have been reporting mermaid sighting for hundreds of years. Clearly, most of them were seeing something out in the waters, but it probably wasn’t a sexy, seductive human-fish hybrid. Perhaps some of the sightings could be attributed to beluga whales, a native of the Arctic waters. This whale species has adapted to include several unique anatomical and physiological traits that separate it from other whales, including its white coloring and missing dorsal fin. But the odd, knee-like formations that resemble human knees is probably why it has been mistaken for a sea siren. !

I'm Stuck : A Baby Elephant in a Manhole


What an adorably clumsy baby elephant! Despite their massive size, baby elephants take a long time to reach adulthood so they have years of youthful antics to look forward to. Elephants take their time to grow and mature emotionally and may be between 15 and 20 years old before they cross over into adulthood. That’s about as long as it takes a human baby to become a mature adult. Elephants also have the longest pregnancy of all mammals. Elephant mothers carry their young for more than a year and a half before giving birth. 

The only known photograph of the giant 28ft crocodile that was killed in Queensland, Australia, in 1957.

This 28-foot crocodile was shot and killed in Queensland in 1957 by a female croc hunter! Krystina Pawlowski was a Polish immigrant who moved to Australia and earned a reputation as an accomplished crocodile hunter. The local media loved the pretty blonde who wore outback khakis and bright, red lipstick. Krystina Pawlowski gained national attention when she shot and killed this monster crocodile with a single shot, earning her the nickname One Shot. The massive size of this crocodile attracted world-wide attention. A beast of this size is uncommon in Queensland. In fact, this kill earned Pawlowski a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.

MONROE COUNTY FIRE RESCUE HELPS WITH DOGS ACCIDENTALLY LOCKED IN CAR

 

BIG PINE KEY, FL – Billie Nichols, resident of Big Pine Key, extended her gratitude to Monroe County Fire Rescue Station 13’s C shift crew for responding to her unique emergency situation last Thursday. She was pet sitting her daughter’s dogs, Bubba, 14, and Bella, 12, and while loading them in her car, one of them inadvertently locked the car doors.

 

“The crew was very professional, friendly, and eager to assist,” she said.

 

In coordination with MCSO and Anchor Towing, their quick action allowed the dogs to be rescued within minutes. Leaving animals or children in a car for any length of time can lead to a serious situation.

COMMISSIONERS DISCUSS VARIOUS POSSIBLE REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS WITH THE CITY OF KEY WEST


KEY WEST, FL – The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners discussed various possible real estate transactions with the City of Key West. County properties discussed included Bayshore Manor and Higgs Beach Park. City properties discussed were the diesel plant at Truman Waterfront and the HAWK missile site near the airport. 

DIESEL PLANT FOR SENIOR CENTER

After researching the feasibility of the County to create a senior center at the diesel plant at Truman Waterfront, the County found the cost to repurpose the facility estimated to exceed $12 million. Assistant County Administrator Kevin Wilson recommended finding a smaller area in a more easily accessible location for less money the County could utilize. The commissioners agreed that the diesel plant is not the right place for a senior or community center. Staff will research other areas for a facility.

BAYSHORE MANOR FOR TEMPORARY KOTS LOCATION OR SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS

Bayshore Manor on Stock Island was discussed as a temporary Keys Overnight Temporary Shelter (KOTS) location for Key West homeless or as a new home for the Supervisor of Elections offices. The current KOTS location at the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office is in the design phase to be rebuilt into a permanent facility, but a temporary location is needed during demolition and construction. Presently, Monroe County Supervisor of Elections Joyce Griffin uses Bayshore Manor to house her voting election equipment. The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners are responsible for the constitutional officer’s buildings, including the Supervisor of Elections. Griffin said that she has outgrown the offices on Whitehead Street in Key West and wants to move her entire office to Bayshore Manor for more space closer to the population centers she is trying to reach for early voting. The commissioners agreed it would be a better place for the elections office. Once the elections office moves to Bayshore Manor, the Monroe County Attorney’s office will likely move into the Whitehead Street location and will no longer have to rent space.

The commissioners and staff agreed to work together with the City of Key West to find an alternative solution for the temporary KOTS location. 

HIGGS BEACH & HAWK MISSILE SITE

The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners agreed to move forward with discussing trading the Monroe County-owned Higgs Beach in Key West for the City of Key West-owned HAWK missile site near Key West airport. The airport needs the HAWK missile site to perform mitigation airport renovations that would include open space.

The Key West Ambassadors Academy graduated its 36th class during last week’s City Commission meeting. Seventeen enthusiastic citizens participated in the class. They join more than 600 citizens who now have a better insight to the workings of City government. Each class of the Key West Ambassadors Academy has been a special blend of dedicated, involved citizens.

During the City Commission meeting, City Manager Patti McLauchlin congratulated Class 36, noting the dedication it takes to volunteer their time for 12 weeks of delving into the inner workings of city government.

“The Ambassadors play an important role in helping us better understand and serve the community,” she told them. “I look forward to seeing you as you stay involved in your City government. Thank you, again, for your dedication.”

Two current city leaders -- Commissioners Clayton Lopez and Sam Kauffman – were elected after finishing this program. Other alumni have served as commissioners as well as sitting on a variety of other City boards.

The Key West Ambassadors Academy was established in 2003 by then City Manager Julio Avael. Class 37 is slated to begin in mid-July. Applications will be available the first week in June.

Back row: Mike deBettencourt, Jim Marquardt, Brandon Jones, Lou Delaney, and Phil Cook. Not shown: Ken Bruner, Colleen Mahoney, and Mike Tierney.

The City of Key West's website is full of fabulous maps that let the community do everything from track transient rental units to see what roadwork is in the pipeline. There is even a map that allows you to research who is buried in a particular plot at the Key West Cemetery.

Just go to www.cityofkeywest-fl.gov<http://www.cityofkeywest-fl.gov> and click on the drop down menu of City Departments. There you'll see a link for the Geographic Information (GIS) Systems.

The latest addition to this valuable site are maps showing the location of legal transient rentals and a map of rental units.

Transient rentals are defined as any unit group of units, dwelling, building, or group of buildings within a single complex of buildings rented for a period or periods of less than 30 days or one calendar month, or is advertised as a place rented to transients, regardless of the occurrence of an actual rental. Currently there are 850 of these licenses.

Non-transient rentals are defined as any unit, group of units, dwelling, building, or group of buildings within a single complex of buildings that are rented for a period of more than 30 days or one calendar month or is advertised as a place rented for more than 30 days or one calendar month, regardless of the occurrence of an actual rental. There are currently 2,508 of these licenses.

The transient rental map is a good tool for resident who wonder whether a house that seems to be renting for less than a month is a legally licensed transient rental.

If you find that the location is not legal, you are urged to call Code Compliance at 305-809-3737.

In the photo: Leylah Rodriguez, Jacob Clegg, Alejandro Lopez, Michael Cates, Thomas Highsmith, Michael Balbuena, Camren Watson, Ja'Khai Blake, Jenkavia Harper, Jason Yarbrough, Jeremiah Osborne, Rocco Twyman, Lt. Tim Anson, and Anginio Valdez.!


Fourteen Key West High School students this week graduated the Key West Fire Department's Firefighters Academy. Proud families, members of the Key West Fire Department, and City officials were on hand during the ceremony to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of these students who have invested two years of training for their future careers as first responders.

These students earned certifications in Firefighter I, Emergency Medical Responder, and Hazmat Awareness.

Lt Tim Anson, who leads the academy, praised the group for the tenacity it requires to finish the academy, noting that they would do their grueling physical training in the early hours before heading off to a full day of high school.

City Manager Patti McLauchlin thanked the students for their community spirit and presented each graduate with a City challenge coin.

The two-year fire academy trains future firefighters while they're attending their final two years of high school and provides them, upon completion, the equivalent training of a Certified Firefighter I, which puts them halfway through the training required to become a Key West Firefighter.

Mayor Teri Johnston and the City Commission, during a recent commission meeting, proclaimed the week of May 16th through the 22nd as National Emergency Medical Services Week.

The official theme for the 2022 National Emergency Medical Services Week is EMS Strong: Beyond the Call.

"Emergency medical services provide vital lifesaving care to those in need 24 hours a day, seven days a week," reads the proclamation, "dramatically improving the survival and recovery rate of those who experience sudden illness or injury."

The designation is a way of reaching out and thanking all of those first responders who ensure that the community has the best and fastest medical emergency response possible each and every day.

 For the month of June, SALT Gallery (830 Fleming St., www.saltislandprovisions.com) will feature “Imbue,” a collection of works by visionary Key West artist Emma Starr. To celebrate, SALT will host an opening reception at the gallery on Friday, June 10 from 6-8 p.m.

            Starr, who signs her work, “emjay”, is a magician of sorts. She creates ineffable images from the Zen power of empty landscape, an enzo of all and nothing, when this becomes that…like magic.

           Often the figure is landscape, and the landscape is figurative, but there is a quality to her point and shoot plastic camera images so direct, it stirs. Perhaps because the images are not photoshopped but made from film, even expired film, that the ghostly images emerge. They are haunting. 

           We are accustomed to seeing Emma’s Polaroids, but this new body of work is apart from that. 

           “The beautiful imperfections of expired film and lo-fi cameras create an unadulterated impression of nature’s harmonious shapes,” Starr says. “The intermittent presence of semi-submerged human form represents the vacancy of busyness…something we often forget to make time for as we reside on this island rock we call home. Grain, blur, and desaturated colors are the essence of the final image.”

Starr’s work will be on display at the gallery from June 1-30. 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, aided by expert Gallery Director Sarah Plaia Davidson, feature a new artist each month at SALT. For more information, call 305-517-6088 or visit www.saltislandprovisions.com.

“ DUALITY”, curated by Alaen Ledesma Fernandez 

will be exhibited at Shakti Yoga; 

 YOUR ISLAND COMMUNITY 

Supported by Latin American Art Magazine, Ellen Gvili/ Ocean Sotheby's International Realty,


 Andy Llanes Bultó is a young and talented Cuban painter, graduated from ISA, who bases his work on the human body. His large-format paintings of him make up a collection that is recognized internationally today.

The pictorial technique of the Cuban artist Andy Llanes surpasses the borders of the irrational, in his pieces we can find photographic perfection as a result of an intoxicating work. A mix between impressionism and realism that produces an almost photorealistic work.

Here are the May 2022 Exhibitions and then to Follow Information on the 2022 SUMMER MANGO MADNESS

GARDENS OF ABSOLUTE TRUTHS by VALERIE HIRD

May 5-26 in the SANGER GALLERYSponsored by GREEN PINEAPPLE


Somewhere beyond right and wrong there is a garden. I will meet you there. – Rumi

Hird, a painter, stage designer and award-winning filmmaker uses the mythical garden as a metaphor to explore how we perceive truth. Narratives favorites familiar from her childhood, such as Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Caroll and The Secret Garden byFrances Hodgson Burnett – among others – are re-imagined for our present day in large-scale paintings, interactive shadowbox gardens and animated videos. Seductively, charmingly, she challenges the viewer to choose whether or not to believe.



THE COLOR OF SUMMER by PAOLA EFFIO

May 5-26 XOJ GALLERY

Sponsored by BESAME MUCHO


A mermaid plays the lyre with a boat on her head. An anthropomorphized cat considers her next move. A dragon smiles with its tongue out like a happy dog. Effio’s charming raku and concrete sculptures appear like characters from a children’s book, leaping into three dimensions.

supported by Anne McKee Artists Fund, the Florida Keys Council of the Arts, the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs, the Florida Council on Arts and Culture and private donations.


MAKE IT UP AS I GO by MEME FERRE

May 5-26

ZABAR LOBBY GALLERY Sponsored by OCEAN SOUTHEBY'S INTERNATIONAL REALTY



Miami artist Meme Ferré’s abstract works unite a vibrant natural color palette reminiscent of her Caribbean heritage and the tropical, lush flora and fauna from her garden in Puerto Rico. Ferré believes her artistic gifts should be shared, inspiring her latest body of work, an homage of portraits that capture the essence of her friends and loved one’s personalities, hearts and souls through layers of thick, painterly brushstrokes vastly divergent in form from her abstract landscapes, but with a remarkable kinship in color and spirit.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the artists’ works will be donated to the Maurice A. Ferré Institute for Civic Leadership at Florida International University.

THE SUNSHINE COLLECTION by NELLIE APPLEBY

May 5-26

ZABAR PROJECT GALLERY Sponsored by SHADE CERAMICS & SHUTTER PHOTOGRAPHY



Appleby’s wall-sized cyanotype prints are juxtaposed with plants, oolite and found objects in an immersive installation meant to have you gaze again at the world around you, with praise, consideration and collaborative energy.

In the same spirit, our summer group exhibition is a celebration of the creativity all around us, as our family of artist members share the fruits of their labors (mango-inspired or otherwise), with something for every taste.

A PLAY AT TSKW

THE PICKPOCKET'S DAUGHTER May 18-21 and May 25-28

Young Matzy Moses navigates the corruption and gang warfare of 1930’s New York to save everything she holds dear. Up against her are policemen on the take, Irish gangsters and shady politicians. But with a resilient and unconventional heroine, you can expect the unexpected.

The Community Foundation of the Florida Keys is accepting applications from nonprofit organizations headquartered in the Lower Keys, to support projects that will benefit residents in communities from Big Coppitt to Big Pine Key. The deadline to apply is Friday, May 27 and the online application form is available at cffk.org/grants.

 

“As a Sugarloaf resident myself, I am thrilled at this opportunity to support non-profits in the Lower Keys,” said Dr. Susanne Woods, board chair of the Community Foundation of the Florida Keys. “I know many groups are working to make Big Coppitt through Big Pine a happier, healthier, and even more beautiful place, and, thanks to the generosity of our donors, the Community Foundation can help.”

 

The Community Foundation has funds to offer small grants, typically up to $3000, to assist with specific programs, projects, and/or urgent needs, not to cover regular administrative costs. All grant decisions will be made by the Lower Keys Advisory Council, comprised of residents of the Lower Florida Keys, who will award its first round of grants in early June.

 

Applications must be submitted via this online portal. Only 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations headquartered from Big Pine to Big Coppitt may apply. Please contact Kevin Bowes at kevin@cffk.org or 305-809-4992 with questions or for technical assistance with the online grant application. 

 

These grants are made possible by donors to the Community Foundation’s Lower Keys Future Fund, which supports nonprofits in underserved Lower Keys communities in all areas, from the environment and education to healthcare and the arts, and more. Contributions to the Lower Keys Future Fund are currently being matched dollar-for-dollar by the Community Foundation. Learn more at cffk.org/lowerkeys..
