The Anne McKee Artists Fund will once again offer grant opportunities to individual visual, performing and literary artists who live in Key West and the Florida Keys. The fund has changed the grant cycle to make applications available on Sept. 28 with a deadline for applications of Oct. 26.

The Anne McKee Artist Fund standard grant award offers grants from $500 to $3,000 per person for project-based work. In addition, there are three youth-based scholarships, with categories for ages 14 and over and under 14, as well as the Jon McIntosh Student Grant for high school seniors’ artistic advancement.

The fourth annual joint performance grant, co-sponsored by the McKee Artists Fund and the Tennessee Williams Theatre, is also available. Sloppy Joe’s Foundation is the premier sponsor.
