BIG ARTS on Sanibel Island is hosting two exhibitions: "Boredom" in the Dunham Family Gallery through July 24, curated by students from Florida Southwestern State College's School of the Arts, featuring painting, digital arts, and mixed media; and "Sanibel School K-8 Artists" in the Mezzanine Gallery through July 31, showcasing works by students at The Sanibel School for the second consecutive year.
These exhibitions matter because they provide a professional platform for emerging and young artists to share their work, fostering creative growth and community engagement. By involving local students as curators and exhibitors, BIG ARTS strengthens the regional arts ecosystem and supports arts education on Sanibel Island.
