Michael Ingram, project architect for the remodeling of
the City Electric Steam Plant, hosted a lovely party in
his Olivia Street home Monday night, to announce a $15,000
grant for artists and an accompanying $2,500 administrative
grant to the Florida Keys Council of the Arts for this
project.
June Girard, Chair of the Florida Keys Council of the
Arts said, "This grant demonstrates that as Chairman
of the TDC, Michael fully appreciates the role of the
Council of the Arts in supporting and promoting artists
in Monroe County." Past-chair of the Arts Council,

to the community, citing the fact that this is the first
major private project to include local artists.
Among those attending this gala affair were County Commisioners
Dixie Spehar and Sonny McCoy, Cultural Umbrella Chair
Shirley Freeman, Arts Council Vice-chair Rocky Hubert
and Board members Pino Moro, Diane Gauthier, and Cris
Sandifer, as well as Executive Director & President
of the Florida Keys Council of the Arts, Monica Haskell.
