Flamingos for the Arts is a SW Florida arts program dedicated to helping local high schools via the creation and sale of unique, one of a kind plastic lawn flamingos.

Backstory:
Recently, a friend and high school art teacher in Lee county was having a get together at her home and I was unfortunately out of state, so I decided, as a way of being there in spirit, to have her yard 'flocked' (overnight nearly 100 plastic flamingos were placed on her front lawn).  It was such a huge hit and considering the low cost of purchasing these fun flamingos it gave me a great idea to do something really fun for the local arts community and area high school arts programs.

Want to create your own flamingo?

For High Schools:
I'll be purchasing 100-250 pink flamingos for local high schools to work on

Other Students, Teachers and Parents:
If you're not in high school, but would like to get involved you absolutely can.  We'd ask for a $5 donation and will be setting up at various local events (Art Walk, etc) where you can pick up / drop off your finished flamingos

Local Artists:
We absolutely want to get as many local artists involved as we can.  If you're an artist living in swfl, please drop us a line!



Where you can see / How you can Purchase:
Our goal is to show these fantastic flamingo creations in and around swfl (ArtFest, Edison/Ford, etc) and ultimately sell them ($15-25 apiece) with all proceeds going to Lee County high school arts programs.  When we have specific dates for events that we have been invited to participate in I will certainly add them here.
