In the early days of movie making, Florida sunshine lit the sets for many movies, while the palm trees and beaches provided a beautiful backdrop.  Movie producers have been making films in Florida almost since the dawn of the industry.  For a short time in the early twentieth century, Florida even rivaled California as a place for movie making.  However, a lack of government support, money, and studio facilities hurt the industry here, and movie companies soon began leaving the area.

Accomplished Key West Pianist Larry Smith has taken up residency in the newest historic music venue in town, creating a Jazz Lounge at the William Weech American Legion at 803 Emma Street on Monday nights.  He honors the legacy of music at the William Weech post while continuing his long tradition of hosting open jams on Mondays, premiering on November 03, 2025, with bassist Joe Dallas and drummer Skipper Kripitz.  Smith’s jams are legendary - they enjoy a long history of jam alumni - from talented high schoolers - to grammy award winning star professionals from around the world.  Larry Smith’s jams are requisite for all touring musicians passing through Key West.  After sitting in and enjoying just one of Smith’s sessions, the guest musicians return year after year to recreate the free, artistic, joyous music.  The music for Larry's jams is never pre-determined as the set list is spontaneously arrived upon depending on the “feel” of the audience, the “mood" of the night, and the “fancy” of the musicians who are performing that night.  Aficionados of jazz from around the world have become loyal followers. For more information or to join the jam contact us on Facebook: legionpost168, and (305) 440-3714.

Location  Key West Museum of Art & History at the Custom House, 281 Front St., Key West - Map

“Shadow & Light: Island Contrast,” opening December 3, 2025, at the Key West Museum of Art & History.  The exhibit invites artists living and working in the Florida Keys to explore the transformative relationship between natural light and the everyday world through visual art.

Opening December 3, 2025, and running through February 15, 2026, “Shadow & Light” encourages artists to step outdoors and observe how light transforms their surroundings.  Whether literal or abstract, the works should evoke wonder, introspection, and a sense of connection to nature’s elemental forces.

The exhibition will be juried by a panel of local arts professionals: Dr. Cori Convertito, Curator for the Key West Art & Historical Society; Elena Devers, Deputy Director of The Studios of Key West; Jane Grannis, Vice President of Anne McKee Artists Fund; and Carole Garcia, Chairperson of the annual Anne McKee Art Auction.
