Fresh Offerings: A Group Exhibition

Fort Myers, FL – In the month of August, DAAS CO-OP Art Gallery & Gifts is presenting a collection of artworks created by selected local artists. The exhibition, entitled Fresh Offerings, will feature a variety of new works from top area creatives in a variety of mediums and sizes. An opening reception is scheduled for the evening of Friday, August 7, 2026, from 5:30pm to 9:00pm. The exhibition will be on display until August 30, 2026.

Participating in this exhibition are the Ocasiocasa team. “Every summer, we create new additions to our Flower Power collection, inspired by all the flowers blooming in our yard this time of year.” – says Dale Ocasio, one half of this talented duo of creatives. “The flowers make the bees happy, and they make us happy too. Flowers, in all their shapes, sizes, and curious embodiments, keep finding their way into our artwork and hold a prominent place there.” – adds Ocasio.

Danielle Branchaud is participating with her painting entitled Midnight Voyeur. “This painting is inspired by an uncanny moment in time, deep in the throes of night and nestled in the heart of the natural world, where there is only you and the wild that surrounds you.” – says Branchaud. “In these moments we often encounter visitors, such as this owl, who serve to remind us that we are never truly alone.” – concludes the artist, whose studio is also located inside DAAS CO-OP. Nick Masiello’s State of the Union piece is an attempt to emotionally process the current chaos of living in America and the feeling of powerlessness to make any significant positive change for future generations. Diana Ripoll, David Acevedo, and Xavier Brignoni are also participating in this exhibition, along with fifteen other career artists.

DAAS CO-OP Art Gallery is located at 10051 McGregor BLVD, STE 104 in Fort Myers, Florida (Alliance for the Arts campus). The gallery’s business hours are Wednesday to Sunday from 10am to 2pm, and first Friday from 5:30pm to 9:00pm. Information about the venue can be found at daascoop.com or by calling 239-955-0422.
