Gulf Coast Village and North Fort Myers Art Association partner for Nov. 5 art exhibit

CAPE CORAL, Fla. - Oct. 15, 2024 - PRLog -- Gulf Coast Village, Cape Coral's only life plan community, has collaborated with the North Fort Myers Art Association to launch an art exhibit entitled "New Beginnings." The first installation of the nonprofits' joint venture to display rotating art exhibits will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 5, from 4 to 6 p.m. at Gulf Coast Village's auditorium in Cape Coral.

"New Beginnings" will feature artwork by talented local artists and Gulf Coast Village resident artists. A celebration will begin at 4 p.m. with a ribbon-cutting by the Chamber of Commerce of Cape Coral and a welcome speech by Ryan Keller, regional vice president of senior living at Volunteers of America National Services, and Judy Biddle, president of the North Fort Myers Art Association.

Notable pieces of art will be on display, some of which will be marked for sale to the general public. Champagne and hors d'oeuvres will be available for guests to enjoy as they take in the artwork, and Barb Atkins, a local pianist, will provide musical entertainment. The exhibit will allow guests the opportunity to learn more about the artwork on display, network with one another and appreciate the talent of local artists.

"We're looking forward to the launch of the upcoming collaboration between our community and the North Fort Myers Art Association," said Ryan Keller, regional vice president of senior living for Volunteers of America National Services. "Not only is it an opportunity for our residents and local community to appreciate art, but it's a chance to experience a new beginning of your own by trying something new."

The ribbon cutting ceremony will occur in the front lobby of Gulf Coast Village, located at 1333 Santa Barbara Blvd. in Cape Coral. The art exhibit will be on display throughout Gulf Coast Village's hallways and elevator lobby area through Friday, Dec. 6, for those who are unable to attend "New Beginnings" but would like to view the artwork.
