Our 31st annual Fine Art Auction will be held on February 27th at The Studios of Key West, 533 Eaton Street. Join us at 4:15 to enjoy Key West entertainment legend Bobby Nesbitt, champagne, hors d’oeuvres, and a chance to get a close up look at the beautiful art. Bidding will start at 5:00 PM.

Can’t make it to the auction? We have a great option. From February 5th to the 26th you can visit The Studios, view the auction items, and purchase any piece of art at the gallery value.

Our theme, Vintage Key West, has inspired local artists to create beautiful work including photography, oils, sculpture, watercolors, ceramics, and more. Keys legacy artists William Welch, Sal Salinero, Richard Watherwax, and Bill Hartman are also represented. Many contributing artists are former Anne McKee Fund grant recipients whose work is highly prized.

Our Fine Art Auction has been a favorite of Artists and Collectors since 1995 and offers an exclusive selection of artwork from established and emerging artists from Key West and the Florida Keys. This annual event is unique among local fundraising Auctions as it’s supported by artists with the sole purpose of benefiting artists - the Auction raises funds for the artists and the AMAF. The artists receive 50% of the final auction price of their work and the remaining 50% becomes the sole funding for our yearly Grants which are awarded to local artists.

Your generous bidding at our Fine Art Auction supports the longevity of artists, allowing them to continue creating their artwork while residing in the Florida Keys. Supporting our local artists keeps Key West and the Keys Arts culture alive and well.

The AMAF thanks you for your continual and generous support of our artists
by being a gracious participant of our annual Fine Art Auction.
