Artfest Fort Myers

On June 15, Fort Myers City Council awarded $150,000 in arts and culture grants. Of the 47 applicants this year, grants were awarded to 19 arts organizations, one group and one individual artist. The total awarded, $150,000, was the same amount the city awarded last year.

This year is ArtFest Fort Myers' 25th anniversary. It's Gulf Coast Symphony's 35th anniversary. They're celebrating these milestones with a Pops Concert in the Caloosa Sound Amphitheater this Friday night.
