  • Brief Description

    The former Butterfly Estates event space, located in Gardners Park in the Downtown Fort Myers River District is seeking proposals for immersive works designed to accentuate its existing greenhouse conservatory. Proposals should integrate the existing architecture in the space and address elements such as the windows, walls, paths and fish pond. Proposed work should consider the utility of the space for semi private experiences, public community gatherings, and dining experiences. Proposals that maintain the functionality of the green house are highly recommended. Proposals may include ( but are not limited to ) AV elements such as projection, LED, lighting etc, surface applications to the existing structure and furnishings or fixtures designed to manipulate both natural and artificial light.
