Residency Program
The Studios of Key West launched a residency program in 2007, based in the accommodation now known as the organisation's Mango Tree House. The Southard Street space has since hosted dozens of artists, musicians, and cultural figures from all over the world, including Madison Smartt Bell, Nemo Librizzi, New York street artist MOMO, Coleman Barks, Helsinki-based photographer Curt Richter, Herbert Weissberg, Sandro Kopp, Helen Whitney, Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips and many others.
Stays are generally 4 weeks long, and the proposal period for applications is January 1-May 15 each year. Successful applicants are provided with living space, and in many cases are also afforded work space.

Famous quotes containing the word program:
“Indigenous to Minnesota, and almost completely ignored by its people, are the stark, unornamented, functional clusters of concrete—Minnesota’s grain elevators. These may be said to express unconsciously all the principles of modernism, being built for use only, with little regard for the tenets of esthetic design.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
