SIXTY FIVE YEARS OF ART ON FORT MYERS BEACH
The Fort Myers Beach Art Association was officially begun in 1951. Evalina Green was the first President. Meetings, art
shows and fund raising events were held in a chickee hut built by the members. The Art Association had two more temporary homes,
and then land was purchased on Donora Street in 1965. Groundbreaking ceremonies were held on February 22, 1968, and President
Mira Sackrison used her “golden spade” to symbolize the beginning of the first cultural center on the Beach. The skylights and storage
room were added in 1978.
In 1984, the building was further enhanced by providing a ramp and an altered restroom to make an art experience available to
people in walkers and wheelchairs. This project also provided a second gallery. Just recently a new remodeling project has spruced up
the building and the garden is in full bloom. The kitchen was updated in 2014.
Today the Fort Myers Beach Art Association is still a voluntary, non-profit organization specializing in the sharing and growth
of creativity.
PURPOSE
The Purpose of the Art Association shall be to further and provide education in the cultural aspects of life on Ft. Myers Beach
and its environs; to promote the study, practice and appreciation of art; to hold art exhibitions and programs which are open to the public;
and to encourage art instruction of children and junior artists.

ELIGIBILITY
FMBAA members may enter all shows. You must be on the current membership roster. All artists entering a show are
expected to gallery sit unless a hardship prevents them from doing so. Paintings which have won 1st place in a judged
show or 1st, 2nd, 3rd place or Best of Show in any juried show sponsored by a league belonging to the SWF Art Council may
not be entered. Paintings may be shown in Studio 1 only once in a season (Oct.-April). All paintings must be conceived by

inappropriate.
SALES
FMBAA receives a 20% commission when a painting is sold. Sales tax is added and collected at the time of the sale. Sold
paintings should hang until the end of the show if possible. In other than juried shows, when this cannot be arranged with
the buyer, the artist will be asked to replace the sold painting with another painting, noting the replacement in the desk copy
of the program and making a new title card.
BEFORE YOU ENTER A SHOW
1. READ THE PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY. It is always included online (www.fortrmyersbeachart.com) for every
judged or juried show. Specific requirements and information about receiving, reception, critiques, is provided.
Regulations in the Prospectus are considered final.
2. COMPLETELY FILL OUT THE ENTRY FORM AND WAIVER. Attach the identification portion to your
painting and carry the waiver/entry and any fees to the receiving line. Forms are standardized and available at the
gallery. You may copy and use the same form for all shows.

thoroughly dry. Frames must be sturdy and hold together with no loose glass. Full sheet paintings must have
Plexiglas. Unframed canvas must continue over the edges to the back (without staples) and the edges must be
painted.
Paintings must have picture wire; no string, gallery clips, saw tooth hangers. Wire must measure at least 3” from top of
frame when hung so that the hanging mechanism will not show when hung. Wire ends must be taped.

not be left elsewhere in the gallery. Sign up for gallery sitting in advance. The Exhibition Committee is not responsible for
these arrangements; it is between you and your friend. Reminder, all artists entering a show are expected to gallery sit
unless a patron member or hardship prevents them from doing so.

REMOVAL OF PAINTINGS
It is important that you remove your paintings at the scheduled time. Space is limited. Be careful and respect other

GALLERY BIN DISPLAY
The bins in the gallery are an excellent way to show off and sell your work. The bins are available for viewing whenever the gallery
is open and in addition there will be times when the bins are taken to other venues to enhance our display booth and increasing the
opportunity to sell member’s work.
Six bins sit in the main gallery and are available for member use. Each piece should include the artist’s name and FMBAA number,
along with the price. Submit a list of the paintings displayed along with the prices, artist name, FMBAA number and phone number.
This list is to be placed in the desk book. The 20% commission will be taken from the price listed, but the sales tax will be added to
the price listed. Bins may be shared with another artist, but there is a limit of 12 paintings per bin. Artists using the bins will change
with each new show; the signup sheet can be found on the library wall.
Paintings should be properly matted and protected in a professional manner. . Acrylics and oils on canvas may be displayed provided
they are no greater than 1/8th inch thick (no wrapped canvas), suitably wrapped in plastic and no larger than 16 x 20 inches. The limit
for acrylics/oils is 6 paintings to a bin. During January, February, March you may not sign up for consecutive display periods. This
will give all members an opportunity to sell their work. In the summer season, items can be left in longer to maintain the supply of
work.
If you have questions about the display bins contact the chairperson, Connie Donfrancesco 267-7660
