I have been commenting on the arts and quirky culture in Key West since the 1980s and I cherish the arts and artists in Key West. This is a unique island under the sun and I consider myself lucky to have landed here. This blog takes my popular ArtBeat column, which ran in the Florida Keys Keynoter's L'Attitudes arts and entertainment section since its beginning, from ink to byte. It allows me to update at will, offering hope that I will be able to keep up with the KW arts scene, though it often leaves me breathless and hopelessly behind. I'll try to keep up.
