Muralists talk up Fort Myers new outdoor art and history museum
Thirty-nine local artists associated with the Fort Myers Mural Society have painted 57 murals of people and scenes from Fort Myers’ past – when the neophyte settlement was a port dominated by seven long piers that jutted into the Caloosahatchee River. The artists met recently to talk about the importance of the project and what they hope the public derives as they stroll the promenade surrounding the river basin adjoining the Luminary Hotel. Go here to listen to the muralist talk up Fort Myers’ new outdoor art and history museum on WGCU.
