THANK YOU!
BIG ARTS is a vital part of Sanibel and Captiva and our islands’ quality of life. While we made the painful decision to cancel our 2023 season, rest assured BIG ARTS staff are busy working behind the scenes planning programs on and off the island so that we can all experience the healing power of the arts.
We are passionate about preserving our community and this special place we call home. The future will be bright and we look forward to throwing open the doors to BIG ARTS to share, heal and be inspired by the strength of the human spirit!
