Arts and Cultural Information

In such a paradise like surrounding, it’s not surprising that Naples Florida takes a great interest in the Arts and Cultural significance of the area. In Naples alone, there are more than 100 galleries, which have earned the city as one of the greatest Arts locations in America. Surprising in what is really such a small town in comparison to the city giants where one would expect to have to go in order to experience the grandeur of the arts.

There are many outstanding permanent collections along with numerous temporary traveling exhibits at the Naples Museum of Art, the von Liebig Art Center and the Marco Island Center for the Arts. Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South shopping districts, along with the Big Cypress Gallery deep in the Everglades, will impress the most serious art lover. No surprise as well, that such a paradise would also be the home of many artists who work in and display their art in private studio galleries.

Both Naples and Collier County host numerous art and cultural events in the area every month.

For the fine music connoisseur, we can’t forget the famous Philharmonic Center for the Arts, the premiere performance hall in the region and home to the Naples own Philharmonic Orchestra. On Fifth Avenue South in Naples, the Naples Players, one of the top community theaters in the nation, has two performance stages in their state-of-the-art.

Area museums abound, which is not surprising considering the rich cultural heritage and dynamic history of the area spanning centuries of time. Artifacts from the lost civilization of the thousand year gone Calusa Indian will surely capture the imagination and interest of all who visit the cultural museums.

From the Calusa peoples, through the development and history of the Seminole Indians and the early pioneers, settlers and businessmen who contributed to the area as we know it today, museums continue the remembrance of these peoples, cultures and developments for all posterity.
