Xavier moved to Southwest Florida in 2000, following an opportunity to reshape and redirect his professional career. Alongside lifetime friend and visual artist David Acevedo, he co-founded DAAS Gallery in downtown Fort Myers, FL. In 2012, he co-founded the Union Artists Studios in the Alliance for the Arts campus. To this day, this is the only organized group studio space in all of SWFL. As part of the first DAAS Gallery, Brignoni collaborated to establish the Fort Myers Art Walk. More recently, the artist helped establish DAAS CO-OP Art Gallery & Gifts in 2016 and expand the Union Artist Studios in 2021.
