The Studios of Key West, the premier arts organization at the Southernmost Point of the United States, offers a residency program for emerging and established artists and writers from around the world.

The Studios of Key West’s mission is to support artists, inspire creativity and build community.

A Celebration of Femininity

Womankind is seeking two- and three-dimensional artwork (photography, sculpture, bust, costumes, et al) celebrating the female form and femininity. These interpretive works will be displayed at The Studios of Key West, the premier arts organization in the Florida Keys, throughout the month of October, when women’s health issues are foremost on our minds.

Womankind, a non-profit medical and wellness center in Key West, has organized successful fundraising events each October. Proceeds from these events provide direct health care services to Keys’ women, including many uninsured, on an individualized cost basis.
