Naples Art District Frequently Asked Questions

It’s easy to find us! The 100 working artists in the Naples Art District currently have their working studios located in the Industrial Park off of the West Side of Airport Pulling Road and North Side Pine Ridge Road, including J&C Boulevard, Shirley Street. Our interactive map on the website will enable you to find the Naples Art District and locate the artists working in a wide variety of media. For more information call 239-249-1977.

We recommend driving to the various studios as we are located in an industrial park without sidewalks and the studios are spaced out. Some studios are clustered together and some studio spaces are shared by several working artists. You will most often find open parking spaces adjacent to the studios.

Not all of our artists will be at work in their studios on a given day. Although some of our studios are open daily with artists at work, other studios and galleries are open only by appointment. Our Naples Art District artists are always delighted to meet visitors wanting to see their artwork, so feel free to call for appointments to connect with any of our artist members.

Yes!  That is one of the great advantages of visiting our studios and meeting our artists.  In addition to purchasing art shown in the various studios/galleries direct from the artist, you can also commission work specific to size and color palette from many of our member artists. 

Yes! Art classes and workshops are available for all levels, beginner to advanced, in a wide variety of media. Whereas most classes and workshops are listed on our website calendar, some of our artists teach on-going classes on a weekly basis. Many classes are for adults but there are opportunities for every age participant. Check our website class calendar and visit the artist’s website pages for more information. Register directly with the teaching artist.

Many local artists choose to locate their working studios in the Naples Art District. Some artists choose to have their own working space and some choose to share a larger space with other artists. Our member Richard Rosen (info@naplesart.studio) keeps a list of studios with vacancies for artists and artists looking for studios.

We welcome new member artists who work in the Naples Art District or show their artwork in one of our working studios/galleries.  Artist members can participate in our Naples Art District Open Studio and other featured events and are included in our area map and artist listings in our full-color seasonal brochure with advertising privileges.   Artist memberships help to support our non-profit 501c-3.  As an all-volunteer-run organization, we do hope member artists will also contribute their time and talent to enable the Naples Art District to grow and thrive.  For membership information, contact our current Membership Chair, Kathleen Moore , (kathleenmoore@att.net)
