Welcome to Arts for ACT Gallery

Arts for ACT Gallery is a non-profit award-winning visual art gallery located in the River District of historic downtown Fort Myers, Florida. We are owned by and dedicated to supporting Abuse Counseling and Treatment, Inc. in their mission to serve survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking victims in Lee, Hendry and Glades Counties.

 

We are located at 2265 First street, in the front of the historic Arcade Building.  The gallery is devoted to representing the distinctive and extraordinaire of offering premium quality works of art.  Art lovers will love our circa 1960's 2100 square feet of gallery space divided into smaller areas, each with its own personality. Reminiscent of SoHo galleries, the gallery has 12 to 18 feet ceiling, distressed brick walls and creaky wooden floors.  

 

Showcasing the art of over 50 local artists and a featured art exhibit each month, art loving customers will find that our quirky, artsy, and unique gallery changes each and every month.  ACT Gallery features original art, prints, giclees, hand-crafted fine glass art and crafts, restyled upcycled clothing, jewelry, gourd art, raku, clay and many other things.

 

It is a "must see" destination for all art lovers and collectors providing a unique opportunity for everyone to learn and enjoy art!
