Susan has volunteered at the Arts for ACT Gallery four days each month since 2010. Susan is an artist herself and gives back to our agency with her artwork. She makes coffee filter purses, jewelry, collages, watercolor and acrylic paintings, updates furniture using corks, belts, ties and other found objects. She also revamps and restyles clothing making awesome artful creations. Her creations are most popular and a percentage of the sales help support the gallery and ACT clients. Claudia Goode runs the A4A Gallery located at 2265 First Street in Downtown Fort Myers. It’s open Monday-Saturday from 9am-8pm and 11am-5pm on Sundays. If you stop by, be sure to take a selfie with this Goddess of the Sea mosaic sculpture that the two of them made together. “I value Susan as a volunteer and a true friend,” says Claudia when asked about Susan, “She’s always the first one to offer help when it’s needed.” If you’re interested in volunteering at the gallery, send an email to cgoode@actabuse.com or stop into the gallery and enjoy the creativity!
