Fort Myers Beach Art Association opens “Soaring” show this week

The Fort Myers Beach Art Association’s new show “Soaring” is set to begin on Monday.

The dynamic juried exhibition at the association’s Cypress Square gallery will be showcasing exceptional works by both professional and emerging artists. The exhibition will be on view through Feb. 27.

The “Soaring show” explores themes of elevation and aspiration, expressed literally through depictions of flight or symbolically through creative perspectives. This year’s dual-category format allows seasoned professionals and rising talents to present their work side by side, offering a vibrant cross-section of local artistic expression.

The awards reception will take place on Wednesday at 6 p.m., followed by a gallery talk on Sunday, Feb. 8, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. where juror Jan Atkielsi’s commentary will highlight the afternoon. The event is free and open to the public.

“We’re excited to bring the community a show that reflects the optimism and resilience embodied in the theme ‘Soaring,'” said Fort Myers Beach Art Association member Susi Wingenroth. “By including categories for both Professional and Emerging Artists, we’re celebrating the full spectrum of creativity that enriches our region.”
