June Artwalk
The Art of the Olympians Museum (AOTO) held a special performance at the June ArtWalk featuring African Dance by Olympian Artist Nzaeli “Queen” Kyomo. Nzaeli ‘Queen’ is a two-time Tanzanian Olympian competing in the 100/200 meters in 1980 and 1984. 'Queen' also won Gold Medals in both events at the All Africa Games in Dakar. Guests at Art Walk are also invited to stroll through the Sports Experience Gallery and take in the Winter Olympic Sports Exhibit as they sit in a bobsled, lay on a luge and meander through Olympic Team uniforms and memorabilia. The Cultural Experience Gallery will feature works by AOTO’s founders and Olympian Artists Al Oerter, the legendary four-time Olympic Gold Medalist in the discus, and Liston Bochette, Olympian, artist, and AOTO Board Member. The Founder’s Exhibit is a celebration of creativity and marks a milestone in history for Olympians, artists and Olympic enthusiasts.
Art Walk is a unique walking art tour featuring artwork on display at the Art of the Olympians Museum, the downtown art galleries and at several art stops in the Fort Myers River District. Check out the art along with the galleries, restaurants and creative downtown businesses. Enjoy musical performances, great food and find surprises around every corner.
