All Access Art Showcase
On Display: April 2-11
Opening Reception: April 2, 5:00-7:00 p.m.

South Fort Myers High School All Access Art Program is a collaborative effort between general education students and students with special needs. This program shows the importance of fostering an inclusive and supportive environment within the school community. Under the guidance of Kim Bathey, a passionate life skills teacher, and Jeanne Dozier, an experienced art educator, the All Access Art program has created vibrant artworks.

Cutting out the paper and assisting with templates and stencils are all important tasks that require careful attention to detail and patience, both of which are valuable skills to learn. The general education students were able to offer their time, effort, and creativity to assist with those tasks.

Digital Lee showcases both design and technology skills of Lee County’s Career & Technology Education (CTE) middle school, high school, and post-secondary students. This show will feature Lee County’s Graphic Design, Animation, Publication, and Web Design students from each school.  The goal of our CTE programs and participation in Digital Lee is to provide exposure for the students of Lee County; thereby spurring career opportunities, scholarship awards, and local technology involvement that will continue to make Southwest Florida a thriving and culturally rich community.
