Here is Michel Degado
SOLID UNCERTAINTY by MICHEL DELGADO in the Sanger Gallery. Sponsored by Truman & Co.
Delgado works with the idea of experience - mining visual images for their emotional and spiritual content. Never having a preconceived image in mind, he seeks to portray things that are not obvious in reality, focusing instead on the composition and the balance of the work. This amalgamation of uncertainty and confidence brings his work to life in surprising ways.

About the presenter:
A sixth generation "Conch", Bob grew up in Key West during the fifties and sixties. He graduated from Key West High in 1964 and received a BA from Florida State University in 1968.

|
Wearing Many Hats ; and does this one so well Roberta Dipiero
|
McKee Staffer : Suzanne Holt
|
Penny Garcia
For her visual project "The Kaleidoscope"
Arranging mirrors in a tube, the viewer looks through to see a design created by the reflection of one's own surrounding
s
. The image lasts only a few moments before being replaced by the next one. No two images are ever exactly the same and last only a few seconds.
Living and working in Key West (and its service industry) - Penny has come to realize we are all mirrors reflecting off one another with every little interaction or exchan
ge. Th
e interaction creates a ripple - A pattern which expands beyond our own surroundings. It is this beautiful dance that keeps us all entranced and engaged in the ebb and flow of life.
Her subjects will develop from her surroundings, e
x
periences and thoughts. The current style she is exploring will show the kaleidoscope visions of what life is. How what we touch reflects out; creating a beautiful pattern for all to view. She will be working in watercolor/gouache on aquaboard for her completed project.
Sally Binard
For her mixed media project " None of the Above"
Sally's project is an exploration of the decisions others made and continue to make regarding her identity. Being mixed-race and being non-identifiable as either of the cultures or races that she is comprised of, so often she is questioned or even brazenly told what and who she is.
This body of work will be a means for Sally to voice what she is uncovering about her complicated racial and cultural past. It is also her way of making her identity just that - hers.
She has already started this series and will continue to create paintings (with mixed media elements). She has expanded her traditional oil portrait paintings to include elements of her ceramic work as well as carving. The series will include 12 pieces.
Sandy Sun
For her hand cast ceramic wall tile project "Art in Nature"
Her art has been a part of every annual McKee fine art auction since 2012, she is interested in combining art with nature. Most of her inspiration in art comes from the organic forms found in nature, particularly locally in the Florida Keys. She will be building a project for the Art Garden at the Key West Botanical Gardens that can complement the beauty of the trees and life out there. As time allows, she will make ceramic wall tiles that capture the botanical thumbprints of local foliage.
Victoria Mata
For her multimedia project "Thirty Steps"
I propose a project meditating on the strange duality of life and death.
Bones -powerful symbols of the physicality of life and death-when galvanized by fire, have the strange and beautiful ability to produce both black and white pigment. Through Victoria's hands, these bones will be resurrected from their former death into new life as pigment, and paint. Black and white. Symbols of the living and the dead, they contain all opposites, all contradictions, within them. She plans to burn the bones in a fire that she will tend for eight hours, grind the pigments, black and white, by hand and mix them into paint. Make the paper from the cotton of bed linens, lived in and worn, holding their stories of birth, love, dreaming, and death.
The final piece will be solitary, small, and intimate, set against the emptiness of the room. The devotional process of this creation is the heart of the work, and there will be only one outcome. No practice marks, no other trial works.

Acclaimed mystery authors, celebrated storytellers and the fans who love them are set to rendezvous on the tropical island where so many have found literary inspiration during the 6th Annual Mystery Fest Key West, set for June 28-30, 2019 in Key West, Florida.
During the weekend's series of panels, presentations and social events, Mystery Fest attendees will have the opportunity to learn first-hand how to craft or refine their own tales of crime, murder and mystery from a stellar line-up of high-profile mystery and suspense luminaries and true-crime experts.
2019 headliners are Keynote Speaker Jeffery Deaver, the international bestselling and global multi-award winning suspense-thriller author of 40 novels, including the wildly popular "Lincoln Rhyme" series books; New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Heather Graham, New York Times bestselling authors Lisa Black, Carla Norton, and Diane A.S. Stuckart, along with authors Jane Bock, Micki Browning, Gray Basnight, David Beckwith, Robert Coburn, Bill Craig, Mike Dennis, Wayne Gales, Cheryl Hollon, Renee Kumar, Rick Ollerman, Shirrel Rhoades, bestselling Buck Reilly adventure series author John H. Cunningham and literary agent Bob DiForio.
Founded in 2014, the Mystery Fest Key West quickly grew in fame and attendance, but "still has the intimacy of a boutique-sized convention with lots of direct interaction between authors and audience," commented author, publisher and Fest co-founder Shirrel Rhoades. "And, because of the star-power of our guest authors, the fascinating panels and unique social events, we also attract writers and fans of other genres as well."
Beginning Friday afternoon, June 28, Mystery Fest highlights are to include an opening wine and cheese party on the veranda of Key West's iconic Custom House Museum with author Heather Graham and Key West Mayor Teri Johnston presiding, keynote luncheon with Deaver, a killer line-up of panels and presentations examining everything from "Forensics for Writers" to "How I Plot a Mystery," author book signings, a rum sampling event at Hemingway Rum Company/Papa's Pilar Distillery, a Bloody Mary Morning breakfast at the historic Schooner Wharf Bar, a chance to win a cameo "character placement" role in author Gray Basnight's next mystery tale, and presentation of the annual Whodunit Mystery Writing Award.
Event registration is $195 and includes all panels, presentations, a lunch and a brunch, and social events, with panels and presentations taking place at The Studios of Key West in the island's Old Town historic district. Those who register by June 1 are automatically entered into the Gray Basnight "character placement" contest.
Mystery Fest Key West 2019 is sponsored by the Monroe County Tourist Development Council, the Key West Citizen daily newspaper, The Helmerich Trust, The Gardens Hotel, The Laureate Key West, Margaritaville Key West Resort and Marina, and Key West Art & Historical Society.

Organizers of the upcoming Mystery Fest Key West have announced that one Fest guest will walk into the pages of a new novel by Gray Basnight, author of "Shadows in the Fire," "The Cop with the Pink Pistol," and most recently, "Flight of the Fox," an "electrifying, propulsive and timely thriller" that one reviewer has called "worthy of Robert Ludlum."

THE NEXT 4 LARGE EXHIBITIONS
Here is some New Information on the 4 New Exhibitions PLUS The 2019 Mango Madness Member's Show June 6 - July 18
SOLID UNCERTAINTY by MICHEL DELGADO in the Sanger Gallery. Sponsored by Truman & Co.
Bottom-L) Delgado works with the idea of experience - mining visual images for their emotional and spiritual content. Never having a preconceived image in mind, he seeks to portray things that are not obvious in reality, focusing instead on the composition and the balance of the work. This amalgamation of uncertainty and confidence brings his work to life in surprising ways.
ACTIVE DUTY by ALAINA PLOWDREY in the XOJ Gallery. Sponsored by The Perry Hotel
(Bottom-R) Alaina Plowdrey explores ideas of physicality, drive and determination in her portraits of active duty service members. Linking her paintings to the ideas of philosopher and poet Lucretuis, Plowdrey delves into the psyche of the soldier.
JEANE LaRANCE :AN ALTERNATIVE PROCESS in the Zabar Project Gallery. Sponsored by The Marker Resort
(Top-L) To create her latest works, a series of digital images on metal, La Rance spent countless hours transferring, burnishing, sanding and varnishing.

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.
