On June 15, Fort Myers City Council awarded $150,000 in arts and culture grants. Of the 47 applicants this year, grants were awarded to 19 arts organizations, one group and one individual artist. The total awarded, $150,000, was the same amount the city awarded last year.

His painting “Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures)” sold at Christie’s New York in 2018 for $90 million, a record for a living artist. But one of his photographic drawings is on loan to the Sarasota Art Museum as part of the “Something Borrowed, Something New” exhibition.
