An Electronic Newsletter from The Studios of Key West
It's a Wrap!
(for the 07/08 TSKW workshop season, that is)
Next week's Intensive Sunrise Painting Workshop with Susan Sugar
will mark the conclusion of the 07/08 workshop season. There are still a few spots
left for the week-long morning workshop, and students have the option of attending
just a portion of the week, by prior arrangement (see workshop details below).
We'd like to thank all the students and supporters who helped us have such a fantastic,
creative year. A special thanks also goes out to the instructors who shared their
artistic knowledge with our community this season, including maskmaker
John McBride, master watercolorist Charles Reid, critically regarded novelist Robert Stone,
and cookbook author Crescent Dragonwagon, and over two dozen others.
The Armory is still home to plenty of creative opportunities this summer, including monthly gallery
walks and new exhibitions, bi-monthly screenings of movies exploring philosophical and spiritual
topics, community projects and artist-residencies, and even a Beginning Oil Painting Class and a
Portrait Seminar with studio artist Letty Nowak at the end of June (look for details about
Letty's classes on our website early next week at www.tskw.org)
If you did join us this year for a workshop this season, or have an idea for a
workshop or class you'd like to see in the future, let us know! We need your ideas,
support and participation, so please take a few moments to respond to

3. Is there anything you would like us to do differently?

will be entered in a drawing to win a basket of creative goodies
that commemorates TSKW's first workshop season.
The winner will be drawn and random and will be notified by email.)

The Next Spiritual Garden Movie:
"Buddha's Lost Children"
Monday 16 June, 8:00pm
at the Armory
Free (contributions gratefully accepted)
In the borderlands of Thailand's Golden Triangle, a rugged region known for its
drug smuggling and impoverished hill tribes, one man devotes himself to the
welfare of the region's children.
A former Thai boxer, turned Buddhist monk, Phra Khru Bah Neua Chai Kossito,
also known as Tiger Monk), travels widely on horseback. fearlessly dispensing
prayers, healthcare, education, and tough love to villagers far from the
protection and support of government or non-governmental
organizations. With his Golden Horse temple, he's built an
orphanage, a school and clinic.
Stunning cinematography, intimate filmmaking and a compelling story make
this film an extraordinary experience. This movie gives the term
"grassroots Buddhism" new meaning.
