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:
“Who will join in the march to the Rocky Mountains with me, a sort of high-pressure-double-cylinder-go-it-ahead-forty-wildcats- tearin’ sort of a feller?... Git out of this warming-pan, ye holly-hocks, and go out to the West where you may be seen.”
—Administration in the State of Miss, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
