Sanger Gallery
32 years ago, Vasek pioneered a new creative approach to documenting the natural world. Working with plaster, burlap and bamboo, she set out to create “tidal reliefs” in the mouth of Tampa Bay. Today, she continues to respond to the shifting sea levels around Key West in sculptural form. Additionally, she’s expanded her creative process to include movement drawings, freestanding abstract sculpture and installation.

Zabar Project Gallery
Bickis started his Key West tenure as a sign painter before briefly moving north. Called back by the unique lighting of the island, he began his second life here, exploring the push-pull of shadow and sunlight.

Zabar Lobby Gallery
While in residency at The Studios, Morehouse became enamored with the Kapok trees dotting the island, leading to further study of the lives of trees. The resulting imagery explores resonance, receptivity and entanglement through the language of landscape.

With one of the tallest buildings – and most spectacular views – in town, the Hugh’s View rooftop terrace serves as The Studios’ creative space in the sky. The terrace sits four stories above street level and offers panoramic views of the island. The Kitwald Stage glows in the golden twilight of our sunset performances.
With original seating from its days as a Masonic temple, the Helmerich Theater has been updated to also include floor seating. As a black box theater, the set up is intimate but professional, and sets the stage for concerts and performances that leave guests feeling like they really got to know the performer.
