Billed as an all-out festival, Lee County’s Alliance for the Art’s
signature fundraising event, Art
Royale 2006, will
showcase great art, performances and culinary experiences. Expect sculptors and chefs mingling
with belly dancers and rock bands. And although this year’s theme is
Metamorphosis of the arts, we think it’s the Alliance itself that is
transforming Art Royale into the event to kick off Fort Myers’ cultural season. Nov. 18. (239) 939-2787
or
www.artroyale2006.com.
