With the Grain assembles some of the nation’s most accomplished wood artists in dialog with local artists who are equally invested in the medium’s expressive potential. What is unique about wood as a material for making art, of course, is that it was once a living thing. In their various ways, the artists here all honor that connection, by working in concert with the wood’s specific properties, shaping it, and giving it new life as something that speaks to the viewer. At a time when our natural environment is threatened as never before, the exhibition gives voice to, and hope for, a more harmonious relationship to the world around us.
With the Grain is curated by Helen Harrison, a wood artist and owner of Harrison Gallery in Key West, with Assistant Curator Fran Silverman, former Director of the Collection Sharing Program at Harvard’s Peabody Museum.
The Tom Majors Tribute to Wood is a month-long, island-wide celebration of the creative potential of wood. It is coordinated by The Studios of Key West, in partnership with artists and organizations throughout Key West.

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.
