Experience Art Alive

Art Alive Naples

The city of Naples, Florida is a fine arts paradise, with hot spots such as the Naples Art District front and center for art lovers from the local community and from abroad. The working studios and art galleries located in the Naples Art District offer visitors a wide range of opportunities to encounter the world of fine arts and experience art-in-the-making by professional artists. There are many events in the District that draw the public to experience the fine arts. One such event is the Art Alive! series. 

The Naples Art District community offers Neapolitans and other visitors the opportunity to not only explore this creative collective, but also to experience how art can be made. This Spring, experience Art Alive! The member artists of the Naples Art District host Art Alive! events, fun celebrations of art during which visitors to the District can enjoy, learn about, and purchase artwork. Featured are live demonstrations by the artists: you can see art in the making and learn about the processes and techniques the artists use to create their masterpieces. Some artists show how they work using projects in process, while others hold exhibitions especially geared towards the timeline of the Art Alive! Event itself.

The Naples Art District, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, invites visitors into the working studios and galleries of local professional artists, showcasing original artwork and demonstrating their medium during Art Alive! events. These events recur on the first Wednesday and first Thursday of the month from November through May, and the third Saturday of the month through April.
