Group Photographic Exhibition Exhibition of Past Fantasy Fest Photos from 4 of the Top Photographers in Key West.
Upstairs, in the 3
rd floor XOJ Gallery, visitors can tap into "Street Level," a more candid, photojournalistic view of the Fest, as documented by photographers Lynne Bentley-Kemp, Mark Hedden, Martha Hubbard and Carol Tedesco.
"Every year since 1993 I have been a participant and documenter of Fantasy Fest," said Cudjoe Key-based photographer Bentley-Kemp. "This ritual is a true collaboration of the wonderful, creative people who have no qualms about expressing their indulgence in anarchy and liminality. I am a big fan of the transgressive and the salacious and I've never been disappointed. This is the only time that I intentionally photograph people - it is where I begin to see the total joy of individual expression. The result is a collection of images that reflects a bawdy and raucous celebration of community. It is a profound statement about the condition of being human."

Titanic Role Play Fail
Maybe this couple thought it'd be cute to reenact a scene from
Titanic. Whatever the reason, it epically failed as a seagull decided to swoop in and take a nip at this lady's nose. They found it quite hilarious, but I'm sure the seagull was more inconvenienced than them. Pagely
Water Burn
These are in fact water skis, just larger and supposedly safer. The guy who looks like he's flying rather than skiing must've gotten a bit more of a jerk from whoever was driving the boat. Though this looks to be a definite collision, it actually wasn't. He dropped off and walked away with some brutal burns. Flickr

Frangipani Gallery Celebrates The Season With a Group Opening
Frangipani Gallery made it through the storm with just a cracked window and no art was damaged. Our artists were not so lucky, many have moderate to severely damaged homes and studios. Now is a great time to show support for local artists who need you more than ever. Please join us for a season opening group show with some exciting new work, Friday November 3, 6-8 PM, 1102 A&B Duval as part of the First Friday Art Stroll on Upper Duval.
New artists joined Frangipani this summer including Sharon Wells, Gabrielle Wilson and Kerry Hoeppner. Sharon has some new watercolors, Gabrielle's chickens are charming and you must see Kerry's coconut sea creatures. Then there is new work from your favorites such as David Scott Meier, Deborah Moore, Deb Kik and Susann D'Antonio, new jewelry from Lois Songer and Lainie Davia and plenty of fun ceramics from Sandy Sun.
Finally, have a sneak peek at Fran Decker's new series of broken shell paintings, "This Once Was Home." This series was inspired by Hurricane Katrina and was ironically completed just days before Irma came and destroyed so many homes here in Monroe County.

Irma was a reminder that the cost of our delicate string of islands is the knowledge that nature comes along once in a while to wipe the slate clean. Still, signs of our resilience abound: an orchid blooming days after the storm; a 150 year old wooden house, built by shipwrights and standing tall; or neighbors helping each other clean up. Creativity often works the same way; it returns with new focus after a test. For our first post-Irma Members show we invite you to reflect on the things that bend but don't break, the things that last, and the things that matter

"Museums & Me" children's program at the Lighthouse to resume this Saturday; Key West Art & Historical Society waives fee to support families impacted by hurricane Irma
Starting this Saturday, November 4, from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM, Key West Art & Historical Society reinstates their monthly "Museums & Me" program for children aged 0-6 at the Key West Lighthouse and Keepers Quarters, 938 Whitehead Street, and in order to provide support for families following hurricane Irma, is offering the program for free until January.
This fun, interactive monthly outdoor preschool program presented by early childhood educator Natalie Robinson is offered in partnership with the Healthy Start Coalition and includes movement, story time, and bubble play.
"While we all struggle to return to life before hurricane Irma, families with young children in particular are looking for a sense of normalcy and structure," says Society Director of Education Adele Williams. "So, while the Society has had to cut back on some of our programing due to the fiscal impacts of Irma, providing a free and entertaining outlet for learning and engagement with local cultural institutions is our way of supporting that need."
Sponsored in part by the Helmerich Trust. For more information, visit
KWAHS.ORG/LEARN or call Adele Williams at 305.295.6616 extension 115.

Tammy Fox : Executive Director Sent us this really Great E-Mail Newsletter ; Here is the Opening Statement
The support the FKSPCA received pre- and post-Irma has been amazing and heartwarming. Thanks to the support of this community we were able to foster 197 animals to safety prior to the storm. This enabled the staff of the FKSPCA to breathe easy knowing the animals were out of harm's way and, more importantly, these foster families saved lives.
After the storm the FKSPCA began to receive offers of help from individuals, foundations, corporations and animal welfare partners. This support enabled the FKSPCA to provide food, vet care and temporary housing for animals belonging to displaced community residents and for animals in the community that were left during the storm. The outpouring of concern and support will never be forgotten.
As we move forward the FKSPCA is working to implement programs to help the pet owners of our community who have suffered as a result of Irma. The FKSPCA will be holding free clinics to provide routine wellness and medical care for the pets of those residents who have been displaced and are trying to get back on their feet. We will also continue to provide free shelter through our FAITH program for residents needing someplace for their pet to go while they find shelter themselves. If you are a resident needing assistance please call the shelter in Key West at 305-294-4857 or in Marathon at 305-743-4800.
It is through the generosity of our supporters that we are able to provide valuable programs like these and we cannot thank you enough for helping us help the animals when they need us the most. If you would like to make a gift to contribute to the clinic or our recovery efforts please go to

Updated Key West Theater Schedule; Once again ; please go to
We continue with the Press Release of 1/2 Price Memberships avaialble until the Oct 31
Kicking off the theatrical season is what Rolling Stone magazine considers to be the "best rock musical ever," Hedwig and The Angry Inch by John Cameron Mitchell, with music and lyrics by Stephen Trask. This genre-bending, fourth-wall-smashing musical sensation tells the story of a fictional rock band fronted by an East German singer Hedwig, one of the most unique characters to ever hit the stage.
Opening in February isa coming-of-age tale by local accomplished playwright Michael Marrero called "Alligator Alley" about two childhood friends navigating the dystopian sprawl of Florida City and the wilds of the Everglades. This world premiere play centers on the headstrong Mayer, who relies on both her sense of humor and close friend Becca as she attempts to escape her surroundings and start a new life outside of Florida City.
Closing out the season is Night of the Living Dead by award-winning playwright David Lankford. In this comic-horror love story, Mia and Marshall's marriage, teetering on the edge of collapse, fights to survive as a zombie pandemic quietly infects the couple's insular world. Cross-cutting between two distant but parallel nights, Mia and Marshall must confront the most intimate and difficult choices of their lives with both humorous and heartbreaking moments.
In addition to hosting the highly sought after Sunday Ramble concert series, the Key West Theater has teamed up with Ralph de Palma to bring a cultural blend of local talent with a concert series representing multiple musical genres. The season series includes Latin Jazz with Cajun Caribe and the Southernmost Brass, A Night at Full Moon Saloon, A Night of Key West Soul with Coffee Butler, and Earth Day Jam with That Old Hippie Band.
For more information, new announcements and exclusive news, you can sign up for the Key West Theater's official newsletter at www.thekeywesttheater.com. Membership info can also be found online, as well as our current concert lineup.
