The exhibition will be on display from April 4-27, 2024 at 10091 McGregor Blvd., Fort Myers, Florida.

The show features Lee County schools and hundreds of works in a variety of mediums. Winners will be selected in several categories and the Best in Show will be awarded.

This exhibition will be divided into two, two-week sessions and feature both elementary & middle and high schools. The first two weeks of the month will be dedicated to the participating elementary and middle schools of Lee County. Elementary and Middle School opening night will be held on April 4, from 5-7:00 pm. This session will be on display through April 13.

Lee County High Schools will be in the gallery the following two weeks with the opening reception held on April 19, 5-7:00pm. This session will be on display through April 27. The High School exhibition is sponsored by Florida SouthWestern State College.

Theatre Gallery Artist: The Students of Jeanne Dozier (April 4-13) and Digital Lee(April 19-27)

From April 19-27, the Theatre Gallery will feature artwork by the students of Digital Lee. Digital Lee was established to create a more relevant, community, and career focused learning environment for the technology students of the Lee County School District. Digital Lee showcases both design and technology skills of Lee County’s Career & Technology Education (CTE) middle school, high school and post-secondary students. This show will feature Lee County’s Graphic Design, Animation, Publication and Web Design students from each school.  The goal of our CTE programs and participation in Digital Lee is to provide exposure for the students of Lee County; thereby spurring career opportunities, scholarship awards, and local technology involvement that will continue to make Southwest Florida a thriving and culturally rich community.

While the gallery admission is free, a $5 suggested donation keeps the Alliance programming affordable and accessible.
