The Banyan Society
The Banyan Society honors supporters who choose to leave a lasting impact through planned giving and legacy gifts to The Studios of Key West. Inspired by the deep roots and far-reaching branches of the banyan tree, these gifts help sustain artists, inspire creativity, and strengthen our community far into the future.
Whether supporting the organization broadly or establishing a restricted fund connected to something meaningful to you, Banyan Society members help ensure that creativity continues to thrive in Key West for decades to come.
Create an Impact That Lasts
Planned gifts can support the general operations of The Studios or help establish designated funds connected to the causes and programs donors care about most — from artist residencies and arts education to exhibitions, performances, and community initiatives.
As part of The Studios family, Banyan Society supporters play an essential role in protecting and growing the creative life of Key West for future generations.
