Fort Myers Art Galleries

(Fort Myers, Florida - FL, USA)



It's probably fair to say that Fort Myers is not the epicenter of art in the state of Florida and thus galleries are more difficult to find than in other cities. However, art fans should not be put off, as the local Fort Myers art scene, while still slightly underground, is thriving and various exhibition centers do exist to promote it.

National and international works are available for viewing at the Edison Community College Gallery of Fine Art, which is located on the southern side of the city, being close to the suburb of Cypress Lake. Situated next to the Harborside Event Center and near to the Florida Repertory Theater, the Art League of Fort Myers on Monroe Street is also very noteworthy and one to consider.
