Downtown Naples Festival of the Arts

The exciting Fifth Ave. South shopping and dining district in Naples, FL, is again the site for the 22nd annual Downtown Naples Festival of the Arts, being held March 27-28, 2010.

This prestigious festival, previously coordinated by Howard Alan Events, is now hosted by the Naples Art Association, managers of the highly rated Naples National Art Festival, in conjunction with the Downtown Naples Association.

The juried festival features 250 fine artists looking to show during the height of the season in Naples. Artists and festival guests alike enjoy the set-up along the street, which provides easy access for parking and other resources.

What's new for 2010?

  • This festival is now co-hosted by the Naples Art Association and the Downtown Naples Association. This means that the festival receives extensive promotion through all NAA channels, DNA communications vehicles, and media sponsors.
  • Because this festival is now managed locally, the hosts will seek to obtain additional sponsors looking for local market exposure.
  • The festival will take place when The von Liebig Art Center (one block south of the festival) will be hosting its seasonal blockbuster exhibition, which will help draw visitors to the festival.

What's the same for 2010?

  • Same in-season weekend dates
  • Same great location in the upscale Fifth Ave. South shopping and dining district
  • Same art-savvy festival guests
  • Same commitment to ensuring artists have an enjoyable and profitable show
