37 Artists, 7 Days, 1 Challenge: the Summer Smackdown

On August 6th, local artists were invited to the Key West Theater to enter their talents into an island-wide artistic challenge that calls for them to create original material around a specific theme in whatever artistic medium they wanted; visual or performing arts. That theme: Island Time.

Over three dozen artists offering photography, film, sculpture, painting, short play, music, standup comedy, and variety act will have seven days to create original art based around the theme of island time. Come see the results of this island-wide artistic challenge at the Key West Theater August 23-26. The visual arts portion begins when the door (and the bar) opens at 7pm and the performances begin at 8pm. Audience members will vote each evening for best in show.

Tickets are $15 and will go on sale August 17th. Available online at www.thekeywesttheater.com and at the Key West Theater box office by calling 305-985-0433.
