Call to artists for Fine Art Auction benefiting Florida Keys artists. 50% proceeds to participating artists, deadline Oct 31.
The Anne McKee Artists Fund of the Florida Keys announces a Call to Artists for their 2026 Fine Art Auction. This Vintage Key West-themed auction will be held on Friday, February 27, 2026, at The Studios of Key West, featuring entertainment by Bobby Nesbitt and Phil Amsterdam as auctioneer. Artists can submit their work through an online application process, with submissions closing at 5 p.m. on Friday, October 31, 2025. Accepted artists will be notified by December 1, 2025. The auction operates on a beneficial split where participating artists receive 50% of the proceeds from the sale of their work, while the McKee Fund receives the remainder to award grants to other Keys artists for select projects. The auction preview will be hosted at The Studios of Key West from February 5-26, 2026, with art drop-off scheduled for January 31, 2026. This opportunity supports the local art community by both providing direct income to participating artists and funding future artistic projects in the Florida Keys region.
