Alliance for the arts is one of the best places to stop and see plenty gyms plenty of spinners but they also have live acts that perform there the pictures you see are from a Rocky horror picture show which are a group of actors did the shadow cast of the movie we do it every year at the alliance and its a wonderful place to perform have fun and enjoy yourself

I love their farmers market that they have on Saturday mornings. Other than that I do like their programs they have.

We enjoy the Saturday Green Market. Nice selection of vendors. Most folks here are mask compliant. Beautiful setting with plenty of shade.

Great time with the kids absolutely loved all of it spent the entire day great vendors and food trucks had fresh ice cream on the spot thanks!

An excellent Lee County sponsored facility offering thought provoking off Broadway theatrical productions, community events and concerts, diverse gallery exhibits and adult and child classroom tuition in many things artistic including drawing, painting and mixed media creativity but currently not offering ceramic or pottery tuition.Saturday mornings offer outdoor yoga and a small farmers market.

A truly wonderful, creative, healing ,and rejuvenating Peace festival️️️ This was our first peace festival. (Both Chewy, my 9 year old furbaby, had a great time. Wish we could have stayed longer! Made lots of friends and discovered a lot of new art and healing modalities. Everyone and everything was filled with great, positive energy. The music was lovely ( vibrating on many key healing frequencies), art was fantastic ( very diverse and extremely imaginative), a true feast for the eyes and senses. Picked up a few gifts for my mom and sister in Canada.( The little succulent growing crystal troll), some holy smoke smudge sticks( yerba & white sage), and some fabulous soaps made with lots of love and antibacterial properties that smelled like heaven. Overall, the best, most magical festival Ive been.

We go there on Saturday farmers market for the tamolies and burritos.

Welcome Home.Artist Gil Sanchez, Gils ArtGravity of Gratitude exhibition

Wonderful groups today but music drowned out the voices. Not sure why sound board is on the stage and not at the back. Might lose 4/6 seats but it makes no sense when the sound board operator has walk to the back of the room to hear what the balance is.

Amazing things happening at Alliance for the Arts.

An excellent facility that supports the arts. So many fabulous classes, exhibits, and theatrical productions, and events that bring community together.

Good venue for variety of arts.

I am relatively new to Fort Myers and a totally unknown artist; I joined the Alliance about the same time as Ehren came onboard there and I feel fortunate and blessed that he is there! My own experience is that he is a master at fostering the creative possibilities in others. When I talked to him about a member (my art) exhibit for December, he had such creative and exciting ideas, including making it an interactive exhibit, and such enthusiasm that it made my heart sing!

On the weekends they offer arts and crafts for the kids which is nice and its free which makes it even better. We walked through the gallery and there are alot of paintings and sculptures which you can purchase its a nice little place to visit with children.

Great Time nice ppl Screaming Orphans and opening band were phenomenal

Brought my kids for the Greenmarket, and they had a blast. We also walked around the Alliance gallery, as well as the Southwest Florida Historical Society, which is on the grounds. Its a nice campus with lots of shade.

Another great art center for exhibits and classes. Recently remodeled.

MOUNTAINTOP was excellent !!Dont miss seeing it if tickets are still available !

Best actors in Lee County!!! Go to the theatre check out the art - festivals are community oriented. Support this fabulous community hem!

Its a place i visit often the plays they put on are wonderful

If you havent seen the play Rancho Mirage playing at the Alliance you need to get a ticket and go. It is funny and the staff did a great job. Enjoyed my Friday Night performance.

Great summer camp team! They worked with my daughter on several skills, including art, dance, and theater.

Alliance is such a fun place to be, and on Saturdays they hold a market from nine to one

Love free yoga at the park with Chip of Yoga Bird Studio

Had so much fun here with my best friend . We were offered free wine and cookies while we waited to be seated.. also tons of beautiful art to look at while you wait . Staff is very friendly and the show was GREAT. We will be back!

Always a wonderful place to visit. The art on display is often so beautiful, often thought provoking, and often tempting to purchase. Staff is friendly and helpful.

If you havent been to The Green Market, you should definitely stop by this weekend and show some love to all the vendors. They sell some really great stuff... wonderful gift ideas.

We really enjoyed the awesome band Bearhill Bluegrass. The volunteers went way out of their way to make sure everyone was having a good time and taken care of. We will be going back!

Great events held here. Art is flipped often so you get a chance to see different artist and styles. Great spot to start out a date. They serve wine when events are held. So u can start here b4 going out to dinner.

Great experience, great talent for the play Harvey and smiling faces to greet us as we enter!

Great venue for various forms of art.

Great staff for the show, the play writer stated after and answered questions.

Tonight was my first time at The Alliance for the Arts. I enjoyed looking at the great artwork. I am thinking about joining and possibly asking to show my work.

Great parking! Went to the farmers market on Saturday. Free yoga, unique vendors, cooking demo, and easy to find location. Next time I am in Ft Myers will make sure to visit; loved the artwork on property!

Love there free yoga

Fantastic place!! A wonderful organization with many great concerts, festivals and events happening year round, including the Peace Day Celebration on the third Saturday of September...of which I was also a vendor.

Outstanding facility . Arrived to watch Joe Turners Come and Gone. Great performance.

Lots of fun events

My daughter and I love coming to the events held here. We saw The Hunchback of Norte Dome last night and it was absolutely amazing!

Amazing Executive Director, art, cultural programs, concerts. Definitely making a difference in our community

Super Farmers Market. Great gFor fruits begs sprouts & local honey.So blessed to be here!

Artistic Ideas for viewing, art classes, and even dance classes are held here. Theres a gift shop, and every Saturday of every week there are venues outside offering food, yoga classes, gifts, etc, and even a farmers market is there as well. Great spot to stop by if youre in the area.

Great times!

Attended the Italian Fest here and it was very nice. Also art gallery and little shop were very nice.

Every event that is held here always turns out so well.

I went for the Green market Saturday morning only to discover there was only one vendor there, maybe somebody could suggest a good Green market for me to go to

Great place! A little small but it was accommodating.

Went to BanglaFest I go every time its local. Food good but disappointed in entertainment . Usually they explain what is going on, this year they didnt. But..... I will go again when they are local because I love the food.

Peace Day was very hot! I still enjoyed the connection with like minded people and friends!

We are very fortunate to have such a treasure here in Lee County. I have taken numerous drawing classes with Francesco Gilio and would highly recommend any of his classes. Overall, the atmosphere is friendly and supportive. They have a great gift shop where you can find unique gifts. And, be sure to get on their mailing list so you dont miss the many cultural events and art openings. And, Saturday morning there is yoga and a wonderful famers market.

Attended the ArtPoems 2019 event and loves thia venue!

Stopped by on a Saturday for a food truck I had been looking to try. Unsure if they host a gathering every Saturday, but there were a fair number of vendors set up - great environment for such an event!

Good place to take an art class. Venue also has plays, art exhibitions and unique events. Stop by and become a member for discounts.

Fun classes, enjoyed photography class!! Next one May 2019

The Alliance for the Arts has quickly dropped from five stars to one after my son attended two days of camp. The instructors were unkind and inconsiderate. The director tried to intimidate my child.On the first day the theater teacher had the campers audition for the end of the week play. My son auditioned for a small role because he has terrible stage fright and ended up in the staring role. When he explained that he had terrible stage fright and didnt want the lead the instructor told him he had to be in the play and he had to be in the assigned role. He came home panicked and in tears.I called the camp director and they agreed to put him in a small role or let him not be in the play at all (as per camp policy). She then told us to find her the next morning, so we did. When we got there she firmly told my son he was not allowed to cry about camp or complain about it at home. She told him not to tell me (his mother) about bad things at camp. She told him that camp was supposed to be fun and he was only to share good things. Then she turned to me and told me that she was not in the theater class and that she had not spoken to the instructor yet. She also informed me that the instructor was new and she didnt know her that well. She then told me that she knew children and that my son was not telling me what really happened. When I informed her that I was a licensed educator she was slightly less condescending.Later that day a visual arts teacher told my son his art was wrong and took it apart and reconstructed it her way. He was obviously upset.When I picked him up from camp he was obviously upset, and the camp director reminded him he had a great day. At first he wouldnt tell me what was wrong because he wasnt allowed to. When he told me he said he hated camp. He told me he didnt want to go back. The projects were not fun, he wasnt learning anything, and the instructors were criticizing his artwork.I called a director at the Alliance and explained the situation. I explained that he had more fun at school than he did at camp. I had to find alternative child care for the week because my son was afraid to go back to camp. I was out $160 because of this. She refused to refund camp. My son wasnt sick. He didnt just change his mind. The instructors and director were rude, mean, inconsiderate, and made him feel unsafe at camp.We went back to collect his unfinished artwork, but it was disposed of. The director said they were told he wasnt coming back and he didnt do any projects anyways. They acted petty and lied because a parent complained. Do not send your children to this camp.I am no longer a member. I will not be back. My son has lost interest in learning more about art. It is ironic that a place called The Alliance for the Arts stifles creativity and tries to categorize children.

A jewel in Fort Myers. Many thoughtful events are planned here year round.

Very nice staff. We frequent the area to feed the ducks and fish.

Wonderful Art Alliance in Ft. Myers really promotes artist with exhibits and small art sales.

Friendly artist community non-profit. Art and music classes, large campus. Three stages (2 outdoors) for music. Special music events and art exibits on a regular basis. Community fairs as well. On Saturday mornings they even have a very nice year-round GreenMarket. With vendor and craft stalls too, and live music!

This place is stellar! All involved with the Alliance are wonderfully awesome. Our daughter attends camp there and love, love, loves it!

Went for Taste of the Town. Had a great time with good food and live music.

Love the Green Market on Saturdays. Free yoga session at 9:30am. Fresh local products.

Outstanding theatre and art shows. Great childrens summer camps. We are blessed to have this organization.

Such a wonderful organization. They have a play house in which local talent performs, art classes, a gift shop and events.

Great place to host an event. Great staff to work with

Easy, free parking, easy to find. A special and inspiring place that creatives from any discipline can enjoy. I attended an open mic night for poetry readings and enjoyed every minute. After the readings I strolled around the gallery and looked at the latest pieces on display. This is a very cool community space work checking out.

It was ok. A little run down looking. Took a class there and it was ok.

Had a great time with family and friends. They ate a great bunch of people!

Grew up going to camps and classes here. Theyre doing a great job of promoting the arts in our community.

A wonderful hub for art, culture & learning in Fort Myers

Great

Great place, needs more seating though for social functions.

Yoga and music and beautiful weather couldnt be better!!

Great place for local artists and art lovers! Awesome green market on Saturday mornings with entertainment and lots of goodies and gifts. Very good vibes and lots of imagination are happening at this place!

There is something for everyone here! The Green Market is awesome, Theatre Conspiracy offers great shows and of course the art exhibitions and classes are top notch!!

Worth the visit to look at the local artists. Depending on when youre there, there may be several artists on hand to view artwork

They hosted an art show my step son had a piece in. Nice place.

Great for kids summer camp

Fun location for community involvement - Enjoyed see grand childrens artwork on display

Great turnout of vendors, but too darn hot.

Great art displays

A gem, I love attending the markets every Saturday

Peace Day celebration

Great place with lots of offerings for the community.

A great Big Band is playing right now till 9 pm. Grab a chair and come to the park.

Wonderful to have a cultural resource available in a smaller city

Cool old building

Cool programs and galleries.

The Saturday Farners market is a great place to get fresh fruits and vegetables and fresh seafood at reasonable prices. Love the people who attend the event every weekend.

This organization is a cultural gem. It offers something for everyone with monthly art exhibits, classes, special events, a greenmarket, summer camps and more. The leadership is visionary and the staff is great!

October 2018 SWFL gay pride!!

People are great! Art instructors are very professional.

Best summer camps of my life. Also great for local arts and theater

Fantastic service and summer camp.

Its been a pleasure working with the Alliance for the Arts staff and volunteers. Everyone feels very committed to making a difference in the community. Our office is strongly committed to continuing to support the arts. Were excited to keep growing and developing a continued partnership. Thanks again for making our experience as sponsors more than just logo placement, you made us feel welcomed.Sincerely,Jeffrey ShaferMarketing DirectorPediatric Dentistry of Ft. Myers, Dr. Tim M.

Such a friendly place. Peaceful and I enjoyed looking at all the artwork.

No place does what LCAA does
