February 14, 2018 – (Key West, FL). Key West Art & Historical Society Celebrates Members Old and New with Celebration at Key West Lighthouse
Key West Art & Historical Society shines the light on its members at Key West’s iconic, 167-year-old Lighthouse and Keeper’s Quarters, one of four historic sites The Society is steward to and one of the island’s most significant and striking historic structures. Society members and those with an interest in supporting Key West’s arts and history are invited to celebrate sunset and happy hour on Saturday, March 3 from 5:30pm – 8:30pm to enjoy complimentary refreshments, funky music by 3sum, a cash bar, and a breathtaking view at the top of the maritime history beacon’s 88-step circular stairway.
For more than sixty years, Society members have helped promote the cultural heritage of the Florida Keys. Their annual membership and participation with Key West’s four award-winning museums support the arts and cultural programming offered within them— year-round exhibitions, educational programming, and special events designed to celebrate the unique culture of our community.
“Members are the first to hear about all of our exciting programming and events,” says Membership Coordinator Kim Livingston. “They get to share in the rich culture of our Florida Keys and belong to an organization that is always growing and offering new programs and education to our community.”
