Key West

Mabel Poblet still finds The Studios of Key West a place of inspiration, going back almost a decade to her time there in 2016 as an artist-in-residence. It was a rewarding experience for the Cuban artist at the monthlong program offered by one of the Florida Keys’ leadings art nonprofits.

Hy Conrad’s credits span murder mysteries, games, and the critically acclaimed TV series “Monk,” which he joined as a story consultant and, later, executive producer. The novelist and playwright is now preparing “Write Me a Romance,” which will be presented as a stage reading at The Studios of Key West.

The 42nd Annual Key West Literary Seminar (KWLS) is exploring the “family” of best-selling fiction, biographies, and journalism when it returns for its latest edition. The seminar, taking place Jan. 9-12, explores a different theme each year. It will direct attendees toward the ways writers use the concept of family to narrate and propel the stories of our lives. 

After several summers working in a hot Florida Keys yard, there was a real need for a new functional space for Gayle Antonides.

One of the most popular winter destinations comes alive, just a month after the conclusion of Fantasy Fest, for holiday themed parties, tours, and rides in a place that lives for celebrating a good time. Here are three of the most visually spectacular and fun events to ring in the season in Key West.

After last year’s play on unicorns and uniforms, Key West’s Fantasy Fest is returning with a “90s Neon Cosmic Carnival” that offers a decade’s worth of cultural and musical references with neon colors plus cosmic and carnival revelry.
