Leagues & Galleries
Southwest Florida is fast becoming known as a haven for artists and art lovers. From beach-side shops to fine art galleries, we seem to have it all. From 'casual' artists to internationally renowned masters, the entire spectrum of artistic creativity is reprsented in our numbers.
Look below to see a small sampling of the who, what and where, that makes our region 'paradise' in so many ways. Forene maintains an affiliation with each of the following:

| Any reception at the Fort Myers Alliance for the Arts is a "Red Letter Event." Nationally acclaimed masters mingle with new regional artists, and for an evening at least, everyone is a "star." Don't miss this important regional site.
|
| Artist Rising is a popular spot where designers and decorators are welcome to chose from a large body of work produced by today's top selling emerging artists. Recently featured on the "Today Show," a designer from 'Elle Decor'suggested that this is one of the best places to find new and exciting original work at affordable prices.
Florene is honored to be among the top one hundred artists in this vibrant community.

The Saatchi Gallery has always aimed to provide an innovative forum for contemporary art, presenting work by largely unseen young artists or by established international artists whose work has been rarely or never exhibited in the UK. Many artists first showing at The Saatchi Gallery are subsequently offered shows by galleries and museums internationally.

The United Arts Council of Collier County is just what the name implies. The Council connects organizations, artists, galleries and educators with one another, and with local audiences. Designated by the State as official Arts Agency for Collier County, the Council provides arts education to those who might not otherwise have access to the arts.
