  • Island Chronicles, vol. 17 – Repeaters at Key West: Alleged Voter Fraud in the 1880 Presidential Election

    For a weeklong period in October of 1880, Key West emerged at the center of a national election fraud scandal, with supposed “repeaters” being shipped to the island so they could sway the Florida vote. It was not true but that did not matter; fragments of evidence were distorted and inflated to suit political needs.

'Imaginarium' With Artist Marcia Brito @ Islamorada Library branch Community Room

“Imaginarium” is a series of conceptual artworks that aim to inspire imagination and fun visual play.  Curated by the artist, the exhibit reflects visual worlds that appeal to the subconscious; scenes and objects that catch Brito’s eyes as stimulating and she transforms them further through various processes.  The images in this collection depict a dream-like state, inviting the viewer to journey into an imaginary world of beauty and joy.

Marcia Brito will be at the Library to discuss her work from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 10, and again at 5 p.m. on Thursday, September 19 – coinciding with the Morada Bay Art Walk.
