Their first venue opened in 2006 on Broadway Street in downtown Fort Myers. While there, they were instrumental in creating the Fort Myers Art Walk which has been going on for ten tears. Later on they became daas Gallery and now their current incarnation is DAAS CO-OP Art Gallery & Gifts. In addition to running the gallery they stage different events throughout the year. Check out their Facebook page for dates and times. Today, DAAS is a cooperative that provides space for local artist to exhibit and sell their work. Support small businesses! The gallery is located in the Gardner's Park District along with other other businesses in the same complex including a garden store, coffee and food shop, and a butterfly aviary. Items they had for sale included wall art, mugs, jewelry, sculptures, magnets, notecards, and clothes to name just a few of the items. I saw so many things that would make a great gift for someone special or for yourself. This is a really cool gallery to browse. Thank you Rachel M for your review. If you like it, you know I will!

The current exhibit -- there till July 13th -- features Purvis Young, an originator of the Street Art movement, from a rough area in Miami. Before viewing Young's work, watch the documentary screened in the adjacent area. It'll give you insight to what you're about to see. There's no charge to the gallery, though donations are accepted. When I put a few dollars in the kitty, the lovely woman manning the gallery said, 'ohhh, that's so kind of you! You don't need to do that!' (I appreciate that level of courtesy!) Check the gallery's hours. Afterwards, if it's not too hot, explore Florida Southwestern College's campus. It's impressive. And peaceful. We were the only people there Saturday afternoon!

Mann Performing Arts Hall in Humanities Building (L), the Rauschenberg Gallery features carefully curated collections that's rotated to feature a variety of artist styles and designs from all over the world. The Gallery is free and open to the public but they do accept donations. As a FSW alumni, some of my greatest memories on campus (and in-between classes) was my visits to gallery when ever they had a new collection. It's a peaceful escape for any student and gives you a chance to explore a wide variety of aesthetics and media that you may have not seen before at no cost at all. Attend a free gallery opening event or browse the end-of-the-year student art collections during the end of the semester to see what FSW students are up to. Plus, student art work is for sale! You'll be amazed at the talent in the community.
