About the Exhibition

A beloved Key West tradition, the Anne McKee Fine Art Auction brings together an extraordinary cross-section of the Keys’ creative community for one lively night of art, generosity and a little friendly competition.

Discover original works spanning painting, photography, sculpture, ceramics and more, then raise your paddle for the pieces you love. Half of each sale goes directly to the participating artist, while the remainder supports grants from the Anne McKee Artists Fund—helping local artists bring new work and ideas to life.

About the McKee Fund

The Anne McKee Artists Fund (AMAF) was established in 1992 after its founder, Anne McKee, saw a pressing need to assist individual artists from Key West. Now, after more than 30 years, our non-profit organization supports an array of visual, literary & performance artists whose creative contribution adds to the quality of life throughout the Florida Keys. The Fund acknowledges these artists, who bring a vitality to our cultural community, with our annual Grants and Fine Art Auction. The AMAF support of our Florida Keys artists provides tangible and intangible benefits to the local creative community.

Since 1994, the AMAF has awarded more than $425,000 to artists in the Florida Keys to support their creative dreams!
