The Studios of Key West’s Peyton Evans Artist Residency (PEAR) program draws nearly 40 artists, writers and performers annually from across the country and overseas who spend a month-long residency at the PEAR House on Eaton Street.
On Thursday, April 11 from 6 to 7:30 p.m., current resident artists Timothy Goldkin, Derek Lassiter and Jeffrey Colvin will welcome the public to an open house at the PEAR House, 529 Eaton St, to share their recent works.
Goldkin, a cyanotype printmaker and wheat paste artist from Portland, Maine has been working with archival images from the Key West library, giving them new life through the cyanotype process. Lassiter, a vocalist and composer in the Bay Area arts scene, fuses elements of soul, jazz and R&B to depict humankind’s journey through dark days that ultimately deliver us back into the light. Colvin is currently editing his second novel, after the success of his 2019 debut novel, “Africaville.” He’s a research-based fiction writer who was born and raised in Alabama and now lives in New York.
The program kicks off at 6:30 p.m. with a performance by Lassiter, followed by a reading by Colvin. Throughout the evening, Goldkin’s artwork will be on display. The open house is free and open to the public.
