PAINTING FUN THIS WEEKEND!
Plein Air Art Festival, Paint the Beach
“This year’s ‘Paint The Beach Plein Air Festival’ will be
quite different from the past few years,” said Marie Crist, the
Chairperson of the art event to be held November 1 to 3. “We reduced two
days from the program, nor will we have the ‘Sundowner’ competition or
the ‘Quick Draw’ in Times Square. We will replace the former outdoor art
tent with a Saturday evening free reception at the Fort Myers Beach Art
Association (FMBAA) building at 3030 Shell Mound Boulevard from 5 to 8
p.m. What remains exactly the same are the first-class artworks produced
by plein air artists who come from all over the nation to Fort Myers
Beach!” The slightly shorter “Plein Art Fest” is strictly due to time
constraints, Marie stated. “Since the FMBAA members basically run it on a
volunteer-basis, we took a good look at everything we did with our
limited manpower, as everything is so time-consuming, and realized it
was time to take a step back, becoming a case of quality over quantity.
We retained what we felt were the best aspects to keep the Fest a
significant national event. We still have 57 artists and strongly feel
we will attain our maximum of 60. In addition to local folks and
Floridians, attendees are coming from California, Connecticut, Georgia,
Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Wisconsin. What we
found pleasantly surprising is not one of the out-of-state artists even
inquired about our water quality, nor did they care about the on-going
Estero Boulevard construction! That speaks volumes about our Festival’s
reputation, as people just love to come to paint Fort Myers Beach.” FULL ARTICLE & RESOURCE
Ocean Habitat “Mini Reefs”, Council Approves Pilot Program
At its October 15 meeting, the Town Council of Fort Myers
Beach approved up to a $10,000 allocation for a Pilot Program that may
decrease or remove the Red Tide-causing Karenia brevis brevetoxin from
local waterways through an innovative filtering project called Ocean
Habitat. “We are in the process of selecting the canal for the Pilot Project,”
explained Jim Timmerman of Ocean Habitat. “We are working with Rae
Burns, the Town’s Environmental Technician, and are examining Google
Earth, to see which Town canals meet the demographic we need…We narrowed
the possible canals to six and will make the final decision in the near
future, as Council wants to start this soon. Once we know the canal,
the funding will allow us to place up to 50 habitat boxes.”
