On behalf of the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center Board of Directors, I welcome you to the fourth season of world-class arts programming and education opportunities at the Davis. Our mission is to nurture innovation and excellence in the visual and performing arts through education, performances, and outreach programs, creating and engaging and inspiring cultural community in South Florida. Last season we were visited by over 80,000 guests and presented outreach programs throughout the community. Through these efforts, Southwest Florida is becoming known as an arts destination, and not just for our beautiful beaches.

This season we continue to present a variety of events, from intimate to extravagant, and all of the exceptional caliber you have come to expect from us on the Gannett Foundation/the News-Press Stage. From concerts by internationally renowned musicians to theater performances by exciting young companies; from unique special events to eclectic education classes, to our monthly art shows, the 2011-12 season is bound to be our most exciting season yet!

As you review our 2011-12 season, we know you will discover many of the special events and programs that you will want to support. Be sure to notice the “Make A Splash” page on this brochure filled with events that benefit the Art Center. With your contributions we can continue to provide world-class art experiences. Dive in as a member and receive discounts while supporting our programming and educational outreach.

Please visit our gallery. Gallery hours are 9 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday with the exception of special events at the Art Center.

Jim Griffith, CEO
