Exhibit On Fort Myers Pioneers And Seminole-Miccosukee Indians

For the April Art Walk at the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center, Woody Hanson, in collaboration with Harbey a Moore, PhD, Rob Keller, Amy Williams, Tracy Haun and Houston Cypress, will present an engaging visual experience that reveals the personal and social relationships of the pioneers of Fort Myers and Florida's Seminole-Miccosukee Indians.

"Interpreting these parallel cultures is something I've wanted to do for some time," said fifth-generation Fort Myers' resident Wood Hanson. "The juxtaposition of life in Fort Myers, a young and prospering town, and life in the Everglades or the Big Cypress Swamp, where ancestral cultures have been a constant for time eternal, is unimaginable - but real," Hanson said.

The exhibition includes over two hundred images of early Fort Myers and its pioneers, as well as rare views of one of Florida's most remote regions and the lives its Seminole and Miccosukee Indians lived here. The exhibit will open on April 5 during Art Walk and will be on display until April 24. The Davis Art Center is at 2301 First Street in the downtown Fort Myers River District.
