Arts Council presents Connections Project Marathon Opening Reception March 14th
FLORIDA KEYS — The Florida Keys Council of the Arts is proud to present “The Connections Project: Making Music in the Keys” opening reception on Thursday, March 14th from 4:30 till 6:30 pm at Sparky’s Landing, located at 13205 Overseas Hwy in Marathon, which is Mile Marker 54 behind the Fairfield Marriott in Marathon.
This year, in addition to offering the beautiful canvases from local artists, the Arts Council is also focusing on Musicians of the Keys, and the Marathon reception will feature three local musicians, who write and perform their own songs: Adrienne Z, John Bartus, and Cory Young; who will perform in a Nashville-style writers’ round, taking turns singing their own songs and telling stories of living and working in the Keys. This is a free reception, everyone is welcome to attend, and also 58 unique canvases will be on display and available by donation.
“The performing arts enhance our shared experiences, we thrilled to highlight local talent from Key Largo to Key West to celebrate the longstanding connection between the community and local cultural initiatives,” said Elizabeth Young, Executive Director of the Florida Keys Council of the Arts, which spearheads the project.
Proceeds from the Connections Project benefit Keys artists and arts organizations through Arts Council grants. To participate in the Connections Project, or for more information: keysarts.com or 305-295-4369
