Fort Myers Beach Art Association opens “Anything Goes” show
The latest showcase from the prolific Fort Myers Beach Art Association will be on display at their new art gallery as part of their “Anything Goes” show which opened this past Thursday.
The art exhibit, which runs through Sept. 19 at the Cypress Square shopping plaza off McGregor Boulevard in Fort Myers, will feature a diverse collection of artwork from oil and acrylic paintings to jewelry, photography, digital art, as well as watercolors and pastel paintings. The exhibit will also highlight intricate collage pieces, hand-pulled prints, serigraphs, woodcuts, and the rich textures of batik.
Curated to celebrate diversity in both style and technique, “Anything Goes” “encourages artists to push creative limits and invites viewers to engage with art in its many forms — from tactile, handcrafted objects to cutting-edge digital creations,” Fort Myers Beach Art Association publicity director Susi Wigenroth said. “The result is a visually stunning, thought-provoking experience that showcases the power of artistic exploration.”
The association’s new gallery is located at the corner of McGregor Blvd and Cypress Lake Drive in Unit #1 next to the Prawnbrokers Restaurant. The association lost their home on Fort Myers Beach due to Hurricane Ian. Since then, the group had been holding art shows at various locations around the county while fundraising for a new home. They have since settled on leasing space at Cypress Square, which is also a working gallery for the association’s artists. The association still hopes to one day reopen their gallery on Fort Myers Beach.
