The arts can play a big role in a community’s enrichment, commerce and fun. Estero has potential to be a hotbed of all kinds of art. Florida Gulf Coast University is in its backyard, two private-sector playhouses are in the works and its neighbors — including Fort Myers, Bonita Springs and Naples — have quality arts opportunities to share.
Estero is lucky to have an experienced point man to beat the drums and talk up the potential for art in all its forms. Pat Distasio, 74, is a retired professor who has experience sowing seeds. He was in on the ground floor of what has become a diversified arts scene in downtown Naples. It has plays, concerts and galleries galore.
His Florida West Arts is headquartered at International Design Center by Miromar Outlets.
Welcome aboard in Estero, Mr. Distasio. This surely will be the start of something big, again.
