Fort Myers Art Walk celebrates the holidays

The Fort Myers River District is alive with many holiday events including the Fort Myers Art Walk. The monthly downtown event will showcase several new art exhibits and be followed by the expanded Saturday Art Fair on Dec. 4.

The monthly Art Walk runs from 6 to 10 p.m. on the first Fridays. The December Art Walk will include more than a dozen art stops and will feature new art shows, holiday displays, live music, and the traditional after party. This Art Walk welcomes a new gallery downtown. Syzygy Gallery recently opened on First Street at the Patio de Leon entrance. Additionally that night, the Fort Myers Woman’s Community Club will hold their annual Holiday House displays at the Burroughs Home and the Langford-Kingston Home, both located at the corner of First and Fowler streets.

Growing in participation, the seasonal Saturday Art Fair has outgrown the Patio de Leon and has spread out to nearby Dean Street (between First and Bay). The art fair has also expanded its hours to 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and now features 23 local artist vendors.
