About daas
daas Gallery... Never in caps. Why?...Why not?
Once upon a time... Well, technically, daas is the transition of what once was the David Acevedo Art Studio in a hidden corner of Fort Myers, FL. The brain child of two people that always wanted to make a difference in the art scene of this area. David Acevedo and Xavier Brignoni started this project in their minds even before they met. For both, it was logical and just a matter of time before they would become the owners of an art gallery like daas. The artist and dreamer and the designer and clever met about 10 years ago and were bonded with a common denominator: ART. From then to here, many things have happened. It's time now. One goal achieved with the David Acevedo Art Studio, now it's the moment for the obvious step. So it's clear that the name daas comes from the initials of the name David Acevedo Art Studio. It sounds like David has all the credit here. Well, not really. The idea of using the name daas Gallery came from Xavier who masterminds a lot of the activities and projects of the venue. The Phoenix has been adopted as the symbol for the gallery since it represents the rebirth of an entity into something bigger and better. There were many great moments and successes at the David Acevedo Art Studio, but in order to open the way to even better things, it had to be recreated and transformed. Rising from the ashes and against the odds, daas surfaces and is eager to be there, side by side with other established art venues in Downtown Fort Myers and contribute to put this city in the map as yet another artsy destination in Florida.
