KEY WEST Talks continue, but rent dispute not resolved Studios looking for new home come July 1? Keynoter Staff

In the wake of a letter writing campaign meant to preserve The Studios of Key West at its current home at the Key West Armory, there hasn’t been any progress toward a compromise between the nonprofit and their landlord. The Historic Florida Keys Foundation leases the Armory to The Studios, which says it can no longer afford the annual rent of $143,204. Foundation board Chair Melissa Kendrick told the Keynoter nothing had changed regarding the lease terms but that the two sides were still communicating. “There is no change at this point,” Kendrick said Tuesday. “But we’re still talking so that’s a good thing.” Staff at The Studios did Armory building at 600 White St. is owned by the state of not return calls or email for Florida. comment; board Chair Rosi Ware declined comment ing board have said they The Studios of Key West when reached on vacation in may have to move operation was founded in 2008 and Europe. elsewhere by July 1, if they moved into the Armory, then The armory building, at can’t negotiate a reduction lost their major funding 600 White St., is owned by on annual rent at the source, the Rodel the state of Florida and man- Armory.
