Anne Mckee Artists Fund Fine Art Auction Is March 12

The Anne McKee Artists Fund’s 28th annual Fine Art Auction takes place Sunday, March 12 at The Studios of Key West, 533 Eaton St. Doors open at 6:15 and the auction begins at 7 p.m.

The 42 works of art have been on view at the Studios’ gallery as well as on the Anne McKee website and social media.

The artwork includes photography, oils, sculpture, watercolors, jewelry, ceramics and more.

Many of the artists are former Anne McKee Fund grant recipients whose work is highly prized.

Tickets are still available for this event: $30 per person or enjoy gourmet hors d’oeuvres and champagne with a VIP ticket for $60.

Tickets and previews are available at mckeefund.org.

Artists who are participating in the auction receive 50% of the proceeds from the sale of their work, while the McKee Fund receives the remainder. That money is awarded as grants to Keys artists for select projects.

Founded by longtime Key West resident and arts patron Anne McKee, the nonprofit fund has awarded more than $400,000 to more than 450 artists since 1994. — Contributed

McNULTY is an astrologer, wanderer, bartender and advocate for queer justice. He is a loquacious Gemini with a cozy Cancer rising. Find him at hearthandheraldastrology.com his month, three planets plus the Sun move into new signs, making March the most astrologically exciting and active month of the year by far. Saturn kicks off these momentous shifts by moving from the sign of Aquarius into the sign of Pisces on Tuesday, March 7.

Whenever a planet moves into a new sign, it’s as if everything that planet rules takes on a new flavor, or like the character of that planet puts on a new costume. Saturn rules maturity, boundaries, consolidation, the cold, and slowing down – it has a reputation for being a bit of a grumpy Gus. As Saturn moves from the forward-thinking and analytical Aquarius, where it has been since December 2020, into the dreamy and spiritual Pisces, we are given the chance to take seriously the more ethereal aspects of life. Frozen hallucinations, mature empathy, wizened gurus, nightmarish lessons, serious contemplation – all are par for the course with Saturn in Pisces for the next two and a half years.

Here are your horoscopes for Saturn’s ingress into Pisces. Read for your rising and sun signs.

Pisces

Feb. 19 - March 20

You’ve been on a timeout for the past couple of years, using your alone time to work through some hard lessons and to mature as an individual. Now, you get to reap the benefits of that time spent alone because you can step out with the confidence and wisdom that can only be gained through individual hard work and dedication. Consider this your astrological cotillion and figure out how to show the world what you’ve learned on your retreat.
