WE LOST A LEGEND AND A GENIUS KEY WEST HISTORIAN; THAT HAD NO EQUAL : TOM HAMBRIGHT. Here is what the folks at the Key West Arts and Historical Society (KWAHS.ORG) wrote:
|
The Key West Art & Historical Society is saddened by the loss of preeminent Florida Keys Historian Tom Hambright. Tom was a giant among men and is considered one of the foremost preservationists of Key West history, known for his encyclopedic memory and consummate storytelling. He came to Key West courtesy of the US Navy, assigned as a destroyer chief staff officer, and remained in service for 21 years, retiring as a Lieutenant Commander. Not only was he KWAHS’s curator from 1984 to1986, he also served on its Board of Directors during the major 1990s renovation of the Key West Museum of Art & History building. Following his move to the Florida History Center at the Key West Library, Tom often collaborated with KWAHS curator Cori Convertito, offering supporting documents and photographs for the museum’s various exhibits and programs, and any additional information requested regarding the museum’s expanding collection. For his dedication to the preservation of the cultural heritage of the Florida Keys, Tom was awarded the distinguished Scotti Merrill Preservation Award by KWAHS in 2017. We will carry on the good work in his absence. Fair winds and following seas.

NEW EXHIBITION THAT OPENED LAST MONTH AT THE KEY WEST ARTS AND HISTORICAL SOCIETY FOR ELIZABETH DEVRIES Contact: Cori Convertito, Curator & Historian Email: cconvertito@kwahs.org Telephone: 305.295.6616 x507 Date: September 28, 2023 The Key West Museum of Art & History to Open Exhibition Exploring the Sculptural Artwork of Elizabeth Devries September 28, 2023 – (KEY WEST, FL). The Key West Art & Historical Society is pleased to announce the opening of its forthcoming exhibition “Key West Shutter Stories: The Artwork of Elizabeth Devries.” Known locally as Lizzie the Shutter Lady, this exhibition will showcase her sculptural vignettes assembled from historic window shutters salvaged from Key West homes. More than 40 pieces will be presented offering a compelling view of how the artist recreates everyday scenes from reclaimed material. The Society welcomed the public to a special reception on October 12 at the Key West Museum of Art & History, 281 Front Street, to mark the exhibit opening. Devries has been a craftsman in the Florida Keys for over thirty-four years, integrating historic pieces of old Key West into her three-dimensional works. She arrived in Key West in 1980 having no woodworking experience or knowledge of power tools. That quickly changed when she spotted a piece of wood that resembled a book. She set to work acquiring old house shutters – red from Tennessee Williams’ house, olive green from the Hemingway House and purple from the Artist House – in order to fabricate books and shelves to fashion an intricate library scene. Since then, Devries has crafted more than 100 diorama scenes, recreating familiar sights such as Sloppy Joe’s Bar, the Southernmost Point, Blue Heaven, Fuzzy’s Shoe Repair, and the Mariel Boatlift. ““Key West Shutter Stories” perfectly embodies the vision of the Key West Art & Historical Society, meticulously blending artistic imagination with historic vestiges from homes in Old Town,” says Dr. Cori Convertito, curator and historian for the Key West Museum of Art & History. “Her scenes embody a carefree spirit that is synonymous with the island’s blithe ambiance. Devries’ beautiful and intimate portrayals deliver a unique glimpse of her both as a person and artist.” “Key West Shutter Stories: The Artwork of Elizabeth Devries” runs until January 1, 2024, in the Bumpus Gallery and is sponsored by the Florida Department of State, Division of Arts & Culture, with additional support provided by The Helmerich Trust. For more information, call Cori Convertito at 305-295-6616 x 507 or cconvertito@kwahs.org. Your Museums. Your Community. It Takes an Island. ### IMAGE 1: “The Apartment” is one of several three-dimensional vignettes to be featured in the forthcoming exhibition “Key West Shutter Stories: The Artwork of Elizabeth Devries” which opens with a special reception at the Key West Museum of Art & History on the evening of Thursday, October 12.

' Brigitte Bardot , (1971) Colorized ' Taken on the set of the film ' The Legend of Frenchie King (Les Pétroleuses) ', O’Neill would often speak about how he managed to capture the moment on film. “ I noticed that when the wind gusted there was the potential for a great picture. When the time came, I only had a few frames left – my last shots. But suddenly the wind swept her hair across her face, and I knew it was a knock-out. ” Authorized by the Estate, this new edition brings a whole new life to this classic work. Artist Clayton Hickman, known for his work on images of The Beatles and Dr. Who, meticulously mimicked the colors by using source materials directly from the O’Neill archive as well as footage from the film.
Limited Edition of only 50 Prints and 10 Artist Proofs. We have edition # 15/50 in the gallery. Posthumous Edition: C-Type Print, digitally signed and numbered on the front, estate-stamped on reverse. The print is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the Estate.

Mayor Teri Johnston and the City Commission have proclaimed October 24th as World Polio Day. The move to eradicate polio from the planet has been championed by Rotary. In 1985, Rotary launched PolioPlus and in 1988 helped establish the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, which today includes the World Health Organization, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, UNICEF, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to immunize the children of the world against polio. "Polio cases have dropped by 99.9 percent since 1988," reads the proclamation, "and the world stands on the threshold of eradicating the disease. To date, Rotary has contributed more than $1.9 billion and countless volunteer hours to protect more than 2.5 billion children in 122 countries." The community is encouraged to wear purple on October 24th and to donate to https://www.endpolio.org/donate<https://www.endpolio.org/donate?fbclid=IwAR0y7x5Nyf2buVJw0o5P_U5punh_GTtPY8Y6vEYaKeeCgjH8PxWUJ_nes3I> to help provide providing much-needed operational support, medical staff, laboratory equipment, and educational materials for health workers and parents.

Mayor Teri Johnston and the City Commission proclaimed October Breast Cancer Awareness Month during the monthly commission meeting. Breast cancer is the most common cancer of women in the United States except skin cancer and accounts for about 30 percent of all new cases of female cancer each year. In addition, there are about 2,700 cases of breast cancer in men every year. According to the Monr County Health Department, this county has a higher death rate from breast cancer than the state average and a lower percentage of women who have had a mammogram in the past two years. "Early detection is one of the most important strategies for treating breast cancer successfully, and regular screenings are the most reliable way to detect it," reads the proclamation. "Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an opportunity to spread the important message of early detection, screening, and prevention to women and men in order to prevent additional diagnoses, or even breast cancer deaths."

The Key West City Commission, with a large supportive crowd in attendance, unanimously passed a resolution Thursday in support of Israel and condemning the terrorist attacks by Hamas militants. The October 7th attack killed hundreds of Israeli civilians and injured hundreds more. The terrorists have taken innocent civilian hostage and have continued the attacks. On October 8th, Israel declared was against Hamas, the Palestinian militant group based in Gaza. Vice Mayor Sam Kaufman sponsored the resolution, noting that many people in Key West lost friends or family in the attack. "This is a horrific time for many of us in the Jewish community," he said. "A lot of us are experiencing trauma." He thanked the community - Jewish and non-Jewish - who have reached out to comfort those whose lives are affected by the attacks. "The City Commission of the City of Key West hereby mourns lives lost through the violent acts against Israel," reads the resolution, "and stands allied with Israel as it defends itself in the war set off by the terrorist organization Hamas."
In the photo: Commission Chambers were filled Thursday night with community members in support of Israel.

The Key West Ambassadors Academy graduated its 39th class during this week's City Commission meeting. 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, Class Representative Jordan Upchurch commended the City staff who made the class possible. Through the 13-week experience, he said, "I discovered the spirit of One Human Family extends far beyond my circle of friends and reaches into the heart of the City of Key West." Speaking for the class, Upchurch said "Two words universally describe City employees: hardworking and caring. Key West is incredibly fortunate to have such a dedicated workforce that tirelessly strives to solve and prevent problems for our citizens every single day." Four current city leaders - Mayor Teri Johnston, Commissioners Clayton Lopez, Sam Kauffman, and Lissette Cuervo Carey - 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 40 is slated to begin in mid-January. Applications will be available the first week in December on the City's website.

During the October City Commission meeting, Key West Police Chief Sean Brandenburg swore in Randy Smith, promoting him from Captain to the new position of Deputy Chief. Deputy Chief Smith has been serving the Key West Police Department since 2005. Before coming to the Department, Smith worked as an insurance fraud investigator. He is the son of a retired Coral Springs Police Department Sergeant. In his time with the Key West Police, he has served as a road patrol officer, general case detective, special operations detective, the team leader of the Dive Team, Underwater Search and Rescue Team Leader, and, like his father, an internal affairs inspector. He was promoted to the rank of Sergeant in 2015, Lieutenant in August of 2018, and promoted to Captain in December of 2018, heading up, alternately, both the Administrative and Operations Bureaus. Deputy Chief Smith has received numerous accolades and awards, including the Life Saving Award, Chief's Commendation, Unit Award, Officer of the Quarter, Officer of the Half, and Man of Valor. In 2020, he graduated from the 279th Session of the FBI National Academy Program held in Quantico, Virginia. Deputy Chief Smith is actively involved in the community, serving as the Police Athletic League President and volunteering with the Special Olympics and Autism Society of the Keys.

Mayor Teri Johnston and the Key West City Commission proclaimed this week as Fire Prevention Week, and the Key West Fire Department calls all of October Fire Prevention Month. Each year, the National Fire Protection Association focuses on a theme. For 2023 it's "Cooking Safety Starts with YOU. Pay attention for fire prevention." Home fires kill thousands of people annually, and many can be prevented. Division Chief of Fire Prevention and Fire Marshal Jason Barroso accepted the proclamation, along with a number of other members of the Key West Fire Department. He noted that all month members of the department reach out to the community and to school children, teaching the best practices for fire safety. "I would also like to remind the citizens of Key West that we receive a yearly donation of smoke detectors," said Barroso, "which allows us to provide free smoke detectors for members of the community in need." The detectors are available at the Central Fire Station #1 at 1600 North Roosevelt Blvd. "We want to thank Mrs. Diane Schmidt and D.J. McCarthy of Opal Key Resort as well as Andy Strunk of Strunk Ace Hardware for generously donating the detectors," he said. "Stay safe and have a fire safety plan."

Work has begun on a temporary bike and pedestrian bridge on Staples Avenue over the Salt Run Creek. There may be closures while the temporary bridge is put in place. Cyclists are urged to follow the marked detour until the temporary bridge is in place. Motorists are urged to take extra care on Flagler Avenue as there may be more bicycle traffic while the work is being done. The Staples Pedestrian Bridge, crossed by people over 7,000 times each week, has reached the end of its useful life. The current bridge, serving commuters, visitors, and residents along the Crosstown Greenway, is showing signs of decay. The replacement bridge currently being designed will be constructed of aluminum. It will stand at approximately the same height and will be installed with consideration for the Americans with Disabilities Act. Additional improvements include a design to make it easier for inexperienced cyclists to cross. The Staples Pedestrian Bridge was evaluated in 2022 and was considered sound for non-motorized vehicle traffic. Due to the poor condition of the corroded steel elements, the bridge has been recommended for replacement. Some elements of the existing bridge have shown to be challenging to novice bicyclists. The new design should address users' concerns while restricting cut-through motorized traffic. The replacement will require reconstructing the concrete abutments that support the bridge. The construction is planned to proceed as quickly as possible to minimize the disruption to residents and commuters.

It’s also an exciting and fun technique because you don’t know what the finished product will look like! Sandy West carries a BFA in Commercial Art, which has allowed her to play with an expansive array of mediums. However, her innate style of illustration glimmers in all of her pieces. She is a long-time resident of the Florida Keys and has been sharing her love of art with others as an instructor at several venues in Key West, and as an artist through her own works depicting the tropical surroundings.
