Ten years! The Studios turns Ten this year, which is one of those milestones that inspires reflection as well as celebration. We plan to do both all year long.
For our holiday members’ exhibition, we’ve asked artists to reflect on what the world felt or looked like when they were ten. Not to prompt nostalgia, but to reconnect with what it feels like to be experiencing the world for the first time.
Ten is an age when we’re emerging from early childhood; and first conscious of time passing. For many of us, it’s a threshold beyond which our memories are hazy at best. The world is becoming more distinct, but also more complex.
A similar awakening is integral to the creative process - where fresh perception is matched with intentionality, where we try new things, make mistakes, and it’s okay. Because someone will pick us up and dust us off. We’re just kids.
There’s a saying that we’re all artists when we’re ten; most of us just forget somewhere along the way. Well, happy birthday! The Studios is here to help you remember.
See you at The Studios!

Since 1994, The Anne McKee Artists Fund has been the only grant program of its kind
for Keys artists. Not only has it had an immeasurable impact on an entire generation,
the artists who’ve benefited – and who are assembled for this retrospective - is a who’s
who of creative people who’ve shaped our community.

Since its inception 35 years ago, writ-
ers and lovers of language from around
the world have flocked to the Key West
Literary Seminar like the swallows of
Capistrano. In a series of elegant black
and white portraits, photographer Curt
Richter has captured this fleeting yet
persistent community. Famous writers
are to be seen, yes – Margaret Atwood,
William Gibson, Calvin Trillin, the list
goes on – but also the volunteers, at-
tendees and contract workers who play
their role as well.

Twenty years ago, porcelain artist Cathy Rose left teaching to pursue her art full time.
Thousands of clay figures later, she has built an impressive and sought-after body of
work, manipulating her delicate material into faces and bodies that are adorned with
found material and imbued with uncanny personality.

Key West watercolor artist Sean Calla-
han and 4-time Emmy Award winning
writer Garin Wolf join forces for a unique
assemblage of images and words. Fish
Outta Water is a Southernmost tale of
a haunted woman cast adrift by a tor-
tured past, a decades-old story of de-
ception and murder unraveled character
by character at a most unconventional
cocktail party. Callahan’s surreal por-
traits capture the story’s characters,
while Wolf’s written excerpts provide
clues to the mystery.

Angular steel and open horizons complement each other in surprising ways
in this pairing of well-regarded Key West artists. Wynn utilizes welding,
torch-cutting and grinding to create her signature works. For her, the quest for
scrap metal and the process of learning new machine techniques are driving
forces. Sugar captures Key West’s tumultuous summer skies, painting on site
in watercolor at dawn and dusk. Later she transforms her collection of delicate
watercolors into large oils in her studio.

Writer, photographer and Studio Artist Mark Hedden has been looking at Key
West in a new light – the flip side of the intense sun and sultry colors for
which we’re known. In his first solo exhibition at The Studios new home, he

Avis Collins Robinson’s new
paintings and quilts portray the
richness of African American life
and the deep, layered meanings
of a simple word: soul. Her por-
traits are more than beautifully
rendered likenesses; they invite
the viewer to look deep and ex-
perience our common humanity.
Her quilts, too, are imbued not
just with striking color and form
but with history and emotion.
They tell stories of freedom and
funk, of spirit and solidarity.

“Thanks to The Studios, this island not only jumpstarted a new book for me, it’s also be-come one of my favorite places in the world. Being an artist-in-residence here is about more than just doing the work, it’s about the moments in between—letting the experience of Key West overtake you and catching ideas as they drift by. I will be forever grateful to The Studios for their incredible patronage.”
Lily Brooks-DaltonAIR September 2016
Selected from hundreds of applicants around the country and the world each year, our Artists in Residence are each given a
month long stay in one of our beautiful artist cottages, and a bicycle. They write novels, plays and music, make paintings,
sculpture and performance – and serve as our best ambassadors for Key West’s creative spirit.
