ArtFest Fort Myers: The VIP experience begins Jan. 29

Don't miss the most extraordinary art gathering of the year — the ArtFest Fort Myers Preview Party on Jan. 29, for an evening when fabulous artwork from 15 of the top festival artists is showcased.

In addition, the community's most talented performing artists will be special guests for the evening. Actors from the Florida Repertory Theatre will make well-known art masterpieces come to life all evening. Performers will be masquerading as a framed Van Gogh, Mona Lisa and many others. See if the full-size figures in the frame are live or part of the background.

Southwest Florida Symphony pianist Charles Heard will provide extravagant music while lyrical dance interpretations by Dance Bochette will compliment the mood.

Delectable hors d'oeuvres and elegant drinks, including the ArtFest Fort Myers' signature martini, are all included to complete this one-of-a-kind evening in the Harborside Event Center's Grand Galleria.

The VIP experience continues over festival weekend, Feb. 7 and 8, with convenient reserved parking in the Harborside Event Center lot and access to the exclusive VIP Terrace with complimentary

drinks and snacks. The

Members Only Terrace overlooks the festival site and is the perfect place to unwind and refresh. And don't forget to pick up an ArtFest Fort Myers Commemorative Poster, a complimentary part of the VIP package.

A membership fee of $40 per person makes it easy, fun and affordable to have the VIP Experience at ArtFest Fort Myers this season.
