Mission
The mission of the Art League of Fort Myers is to contribute to the cultural life of the Fort Myers community and surrounding areas by promoting the appreciation, enjoyment, and distribution of fine art in the region, and to provide encouragement and learning opportunities in the arts for both adults and children. Membership Membership is open to artist and friends of the arts. Annual dues start at $50 and up and are renewable on the anniversary of your membership. If preferred, a lifetime membership is available. The Art League of Fort Myers offers classes in various media. Please call for schedules and fees. Members may exhibit their artwork in the gallery. There is general membership meeting on the first Monday of each month to which members and their guest are invited to attend. As a member of the Art League of Fort Myers, you also automatically become a member of the Art Council of Southwest Florida, which is composed of eleven area art leagues and associations with more than 4000 members. As such, you are also welcome to attend their meetings, which are held on Tuesday of each month. Many of the leagues and associations have art shows and activities that are open to Art Council members. History The Art League of Fort Myers was organized in 1956, and has been in continuous operation since then. 2006 marked our 50th year. From 1974 through 1992, the Art League of Fort Myers was located on Crawford Street. In September of 1992 the Art League of Fort Myers moved into the "Old Schultz Farm House" at the corner of Colonial and McGregor and was used as the studio gallery space until the building was demolished when the construction of the Midpoint Bridge ensued. The "Edwards Building" was moved to replace the Schultz home shortly thereafter. That was the location that housed the Art League of Fort Myers until the move to the downtown area at its current location in the City of Palms parking garage building at 1451 Monroe Street, between Bay and First Street. | ||||
