Florida SouthWestern Unveils ‘Arts@FSW’ for SWFL Community

Nov 21, 2014

Arts and cultural programs at Florida SouthWestern State College (FSW) are now housed under one simple moniker: Arts@FSW.

The FSW Foundation’s newest initiative consolidates all listings of upcoming events and exhibits into a one-stop resource for the community, featuring a comprehensive event calendar accessible at www.fsw.edu/artscalendar.

The Arts@FSW link on the college’s homepage (www.FSW.edu/artsfsw) provides information about student concerts and performances, as well as professional productions and exhibitions at the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall, the Bob Rauschenberg Gallery and the Richard H. Rush Collections Gallery.

“Arts@FSW is not only a useful resource for the community to stay informed about what’s happening at the college, but it also helps to establish FSW as a thriving center for the arts in our region,” said Arlene M. Knox, senior director of Development/Planned Giving at the FSW Foundation.

“FSW has a long history with the arts in Southwest Florida. We’ve provided students with outstanding instruction in performance and visual arts for over 52 years, and now we are connecting with the community to ensure they are aware of all the wonderful things that are happening here,” said Dr. Louis Traina, vice president of Institutional Advancement and Executive Director of the FSW Foundation.

Don’t forget to share your Arts@FSW experiences! Students, faculty, and members of the community who enjoy the arts can share pictures, information, or important dates via social media using #ArtsFSW.
