Murals

Southwest Florida’s first large-scale mosaic is coming soon to the Fort Myers River District. It will be installed at The Ivy, a 274-unit apartment complex. While the tiles that comprise the five-foot-tall by 25-foot-long mosaic are being fabricated by a company based in Wales, Zimmer engaged popular local artist David Acevedo to design the mural on which it is based.

The first augmented reality mural in Southwest Florida was unveiled at Art Walk on January 5th. The Fort Myers Mural Society hopes the mural will appeal to a younger demographic and Southwest Florida's expanding pool of cultural and heritage tourists.

We highlight the fall arts offerings from the Southwest Florida-based arts non-profit Love Your Rebellion amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The organization’s mission is to empower marginalized groups through the arts, and even in the absence of live music, spoken word and other in-person performance events, Love Your Rebellion is still finding many socially-distant ways to encourage the arts community including a poetry writing workshop in collaboration with the Alliance for the Arts, the “Murals on Tour” traveling art installation project in collaboration with Artsemble Underground, and multiple ways artists can contribute to the upcoming fall issue of Love Your Rebellion’s zine titled, “Technical Difficulties.”
