Arts & Culture Town Hall: FGCU

This event is being held at the FGCU Bower School of Music & the Arts, located at 10501 FGCU Blvd S, Fort Myers, FL 33965

Join us for the third Arts & Culture Town Hall at FGCU. This gathering continues the momentum by delving deeper into the five key priority areas shaping the future of arts and culture in Southwest Florida: Access to the Arts, Community Collaboration, Art Education, Artist Empowerment, and Special Projects.

The morning’s discussion will be moderated by a special Guest Moderator and will feature an expert panel of arts leaders driving change and innovation across the region.

The event will include a panel discussion followed by a community Q&A session and networking opportunity, giving attendees a platform to share insights, ideas, and collaborative visions for the region’s creative future.

Following the panel discussion, guests are invited to attend the Creative Career Showcase. Lunch will be provided and guests will have the opportunity to connect with current FGCU students studying art, music, theatre and more! If you have volunteer needs, internship or job opportunities, or knowledge to share, we highly encourage participating in the Creative Career Showcase. We invite all Arts Organizations to showcase what you do, and tell your story as individuals as a way to open the eyes of current college students in the arts who may be wondering, “What will I do with my degree?” Our goal is to create connections between students and arts organizations that will prosper into meaningful relationships and careers.

This event is free and open to the public. Everyone is encouraged to attend, whether an artist, student, educator, or passionate supporter of the arts, to help shape the next steps for advocacy and creative development in Southwest Florida.
