With the support of international Olympian artists, AOTO celebrates human capabilities as in the ancient Olympic Games when an athlete was not only expected to possess great agility and strength, but to also understand and nurture the arts.
Art of the Olympians will host a series of events and programs in Southwest Florida in conjunction with the Royal visit.
“Prince Albert’s visit to Fort Myers is a milestone in the history of the City not seen since the days when Thomas Edison and Henry Ford resided here. His visit stands as a welcome for millions of people to come visit the Fort Myers area and will help AOTO spread a passion for excellence amongst the international community,” said Randal P. Henderson, mayor of Fort Myers, FL U.S.A.
Art of the Olympians is a non-profit organization dedicated to cultivating a passion for human excellence.
