The auditorium features excellent site lines and good acoustics. Evening parties feature delicious full course catered meals and a complimentary bar. Dress to all events is Key West casual. The always stylish event has grown in substance, drawing literary luminaries and their cultural contemporaries to Key West for the annual seminar. Much of the work is accomplished through volunteer effort.
Many anonymous donations support the Seminar.
The John Hersey Memorial Lecture is supported by private donation. The Monroe County Tourist Development council provides major advertising and promotional support. The Dogwood Foundation provides ongoing support.
