The annual collaboration between BIG ARTS and FSW&#8217;s School of the Arts features visual, written and multimedia works created by FSW students.<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s exhibition includes painting, digital media, mixed-media installations and film, along with the winning work from the ART24 competition.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I believe boredom is something everyone experiences,&#8221; said William Garcia, an FSW student whose short film is featured in the exhibition. &#8220;But those quiet, ordinary moments can also create space for imagination to grow and inspire meaningful ideas and action.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition highlights how emerging artists transform observation and imagination into original works across multiple disciplines. It also provides students with a professional venue to share their work with the public and gain valuable exhibition experience.<\/p>\n<p>The FSW Student Exhibition: Boredom is open to the public through Wednesday at BIG ARTS, located at 900 Dunlop Road at Sanibel Island.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SANIBEL, Fla.
