Sidney and Berne Davis Art Center, Fort Myers

The Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center is a vibrant cultural venue that presents performances, films, special events and rotating art exhibits. Because exhibitions change on the first Friday of every month, visitors can expect something different each time they come to Fort Myers. The center often highlights both internationally known creators and emerging local artists, giving guests a broad look at contemporary work. Exhibits are displayed in the Grand Atrium and the Capital Gallery, two spaces known for their striking architecture and flexible layouts.

Music plays a major role in the center’s programming. Throughout the year, audiences can enjoy chamber music, jazz concerts, bluegrass performances and other genre-spanning events. These concerts often feature regional musicians as well as visiting ensembles.

In addition to visual art and music, the center hosts a wide range of special events. Book talks, independent film screenings, fashion shows and cultural programs regularly appear on the calendar. Workshops, lectures and even yoga classes are offered as well, giving travelers a chance to participate rather than simply observe. Registration is available online or in person.

The Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center is located in downtown Fort Myers, just a short walk from the Caloosahatchee River, making it an easy stop during a day of exploring the historic district.
