Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Film festival, concerts (rock, jazz, symphony, local & international), art exhibits, community events, author talks, poetry readings and more. The SBDAC is one of the BEST things about downtown Fort Myers.

Although I have never been to a play or a concert there, I have been to many Art Shows there and absolutely LOVE the venue because of it's history and architecture. You can access the upcoming events via the website and make your plans accordingly. Did I mention the location is down town Fort Myers River District? BONUS!!!

The Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center is a beautifully restored former post office in downtown Fort Myers. There is an ongoing display of art on the main level and often local artists are featured. It changes monthly and the first Friday night of each month is Art Walk in Downtown Ft. Myers....free to the public. There are many programs including concerts, luncheons with authors and special events held during "season". Each year a brochure of the planned events is available on line or stop in and pick up one in the lobby. There are also art classes and yoga classes and other classes for participation.

It is developing as the premier place in downtown Fort Myers for one of a kind cultural events. They have special music and art presentations. They also have a meet the author event monthly during the winter season where an author is asked to speak presenting both a personal background and the background of their most recent publication. It includes a lunch which is tasty and served. Books are also sold at the author event.

A group of seven of us went to the Davis Center to see the Mersey Beatles. The room where the concert was is a lot smaller then I would have expected. It sat maybe 200-250 people. The acoustics were very good and the concert was great. The volunteers that were working were terrific. Friendly and helpful. This is a great place to see this kind of event. Would definitely go to this center again to see other events.
