What is the Anne McKee Artists Fund?

The Anne McKee Artists Fund (AMAF) was established in 1992 after its founder, Anne McKee, saw a pressing need to assist individual artists from Key West. Now, after more than 30 years, our non-profit organization supports an array of visual, literary & performance artists whose creative contribution adds to the quality of life throughout the Florida Keys. The Fund acknowledges these artists, who bring a vitality to our cultural community, with our annual Grants and Fine Art Auction. The AMAF support of our Florida Keys artists provides tangible and intangible benefits to the local creative community.

Since 1994, the AMAF has awarded more than $425,000 to artists in the Florida Keys to support their creative dreams!

In honor of Anne McKee’s 100th birthday in July 2023, a book of tributes and thank you's from some of the many recipients of the McKee Fund and CFFK grants was compiled. Published by the Anne McKee Artists Fund and CFFK.

Our beloved patron, Anne McKee, has passed away at the age of 100. She was an active supporter of the Arts in the Keys since the 1970's and started the Anne McKee Artists Fund almost 30 years ago with the mission of Artists helping Artists. Read more about Anne’s legacy.
