New This Season! 

The Connections Project: A Mosaic of the Keys 2025 will be a fabulous blend of what we've done in past years with some fresh ideas for this season! We are spotlighting visual and performing artists throughout the County at 10 "pop-up" events! Each venue will feature almost 100 unique canvases created by Keys artists along with talented musicians performing too.

Art lovers may select a canvas of their choice for a donation of $100 and take it home that evening, all proceeds support grants for artists living and working in the Florida Keys. Music lovers will enjoy performances by outstanding Keys musicians at each reception open to the public. Thank you to Royal Furniture for their continued support.

There are a very limited number of canvases available. First come, first served. :)
Click HERE to sign up for your blank canvas. Canvases are at EACH Monroe County Library branch front desk.

Completed canvases are DUE back Friday, December 20, and no later thanThursday, January 2, 2025 .Please return completed canvas with your artist statement to any library branch - you do not have to drop off where you picked up. Please note: Canvases are 6" x 8" and MUST be completed in LANDSCAPE (horizontal). There is no specific theme.
