Gulf Coast Leisure was Founded in 2012 by longtime friends Marco |M| Cruz and Brian |BeFrank| Franklin, Jr. GCL is dedicated to exploring any and every avenue of entertainment and event planning to build the culture in SWFL. We are passionate about serving our community by building relationships that create a positive environment that can lay the foundation for a better community. As of summer 2016, GCL has expanded their team to provide professional and quality experiences through all avenues. Outside of the events we want to provide inspiration and help individuals grow to be a better version of themselves and in their artistry. In doing so, GCL will be seen more in the community and on social media being sure to engage with our community and our dedicated followers. GCL currently hosts 3 events a month in the River District Area of Downtown Fort Myers. Our events are cultured and fresh offering a unique experience each and every time. Our Art & Poetry Networking Event is held the 3rd Friday of every month at the Sidney and Berne Davis Art Center and Speak My Peace is held the first Saturday of the month at The American Legion Post 38. Our newest event Art & Soul is at Cork soakers off 47 Terrace in Cape Coral, two Saturdays out of the month. For more details on these events, continue to follow us & we hope to see you there!
