Young Art Collectors Gallery

For just $5, children ages 6 to 12 can buy wonderful items donated by festival artists. Artists welcome young collectors (and their parents) for art-signing and a chat with the artist.

Florida Repertory Theatre


Get your face painted by the talented actors from the Florida Repertory Theatre. Turn into a tiger, or a fairy, or a puppy dog, or your favorite superhero. The options are endless!

Kids @ Art

Kids@Art is a community art project led by local artists. The Fort Myers Mural Society is coordinating the creation of Kindness Rocks with inspiring words and phrases. Children and parents will paint these rocks at the art festival and take them home to leave somewhere in their community or neighborhood for a stranger to find and feel touched by kindness.

Performances by Asian Professional Association of SWFL, Family Music Time, NaPua Polynesian Dancers, MOSAIC, Quality Life Center, Hara Tis Elidas Greek Dancers, Ariel V.,  Dance Bochette, Kellyn Celtic Dancers, Sole Eaterz, and more.
