Beach Art Gallery holds fundraising sale
Each spring the artists at the Fort Myers Beach Art Association gather artwork they have been working on at paint outs, paint ins, workshops and classes and put it out for sale at the annual ART BAZAAR. Proceeds from this annual event go directly to the scholarships given each April to seniors from the local high school art programs that are going on to study art at the college or university level. A Student Show will be held at the FMBAA gallery from April 5 to 21 with a reception on April 17 to award the winners.
This year the annual ART BAZAAR will be held at Santini Marina Plaza on March 6, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the corridors adjacent to the stores. There will be no clotheslines this year but there will be new art forms sold such as hand painted silk scarves and original jewelry as well as the beautiful artwork that is always the center of the sale. Both framed and unframed artwork will be available. Don’t miss this opportunity to purchase original art by local artists and help the next generation of artists at the same time.
Regular gallery hours for the working gallery of Fort Myers Beach Art Association are from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 3 p.m. on Sunday. For more information call the gallery at 463-3909 or see our website at www.fortmyersbeachart.com. The Fort Myers Beach Art Association is located on the corner of Donora and Shell Mound (east at the blinking light on Estero and Donora).
