Bank of the Islands is proud to return as a major sponsor for the 2025 Rotary Arts and Crafts Festival. Produced by the Rotary Club of Sanibel-Captiva, the two-day festival will feature more than 100 exhibiting artists on February 14 and 15 at the Sanibel Community House.
“With Rotarians well represented within our banking staff, it’s our pleasure to sponsor this well-loved annual festival,” said Bank of the Islands President Robbie Roepstorff.
“The festival proceeds will be used to fund approximately two dozen nonprofit initiatives and academic scholarships on Sanibel and Captiva and around the world. The San-Cap Rotarians are a special group of people, committed to supporting meaningful charitable endeavors while producing really fun community gatherings,” she said.
“It’s our pleasure to help bring this special event back to Sanibel. We hope island residents and visitors alike will come out for a good time, benefiting a good cause,” said Roepstorff.
Over the course of the weekend festival, approximately 8,000 attendees will enjoy shopping for world-class arts and crafts while sipping refreshments at the Community House. There will also be a silent auction featuring gift certificates for island restaurants and accommodations, as well as a variety of items, including a special gift basket donated by Bank of the Islands.
