Art Fest Naples returns to Fleischmann Park

NAPLES, Fla.- Art Fest Naples returns to Fleischmann Park on January 24 and 25, 2015.

The show offers Southwest Florida residents and visitors an opportunity to browse and purchase fine art that includes paintings in oil and acrylic, watercolors, drawings in graphite and pastels, art photography, blown glass, turned wood pieces, sculptures, metal works, ceramics and pottery, fiber art, hand-crafted fine art jewelry and a variety of 2D and 3D mixed media pieces.

“Art Fest Naples draws 140 of the best fine art and fine craft artists from around the country and is a must do for residents and visitors of Southwest Florida,” said Taire Malloy, event director.

In addition to the high caliber artisans and beautiful Fleischmann Park setting, Art Fest Naples is unique in Florida and the country because the proceeds benefit the Special Needs Children’s Fund. The mission of the Special Needs Children’s Fund is to improve the lives of children and young adults with physical and developmental disabilities, including autism, in Collier County.

“We are grateful to be a beneficiary of Art Fest Naples and we greatly appreciate the community’s support,” says Julie Stanley, president of the Special Needs Children’s Fund. “The funds raised will help families ease the financial demands brought on by their disabilities and promote access to resources.”

Fleischmann Park is located at 1600 Fleischmann Boulevard. Sponsorships are still available.
