DAAS CO-OP Art Gallery & Gifts — Attraction in Fort Myers

While the art on display is gorgeous, and the prices are slightly high, the older women behind the desk are on the rude side. I pulled out my phone to silence it and was scolded like some school girl! "Unless you're an art student, no photography!" Now first off I'd like to point out that I saw no sign banning photography, and second of all, I was not politely asked to put my phone away. There was no please or anything. In other galleries, at least they either encouraged or were polite about asking people to follow the rules. There are other galleries with better prices, and people who actually say please and thank you!

TL;DR: I prefer going to galleries where I'm politely told the rules, and not treated like a child when doing the correct thing and silencing my phone...

This is art gallery in Fort Myers is chock full with a variety of professional artists. I believe there are 25-30 artists. They offer sculpture, mixed media, oil, acrylic and watercolor paintings, jewelry, greeting cards, and so much more! Every time I visit this gallery, I always find something I love and purchase, either for myself or as a gift.

The artists work at the gallery, thereby offering visitors the chance to meet artists and learn about their technique.

Also, the gallery offers classes, ranging from masking tape sculpture (I took this class and it was awesome!), sketching, music, wine and art nights, and more.

Highly recommend. You won't regret visiting this gallery. It'll be you "go to" place for all things...

Amazing gallery full of phenomenal artists. A little of something for everyone. Fascinating, one of a kind pieces. A colorful experience and almost a bit of wonderland, every time I’ve gone there’s something new to discover. Plus it’s handicapped accessible, even with some covered parking spaces for guests and it’s on the beautiful grounds of Alliance for the Arts! If you get hungry or thirsty while you’re there, next door Arts & Eats Cafe is the place! Truly an experience you don’t want to miss! (Plus the people are amazing.) If you enjoy art and have a few minutes I highly recommend stopping by to take a look. Although you may find you need...
