Scene To Be Seen is Naples Art Institute’s premier annual fundraising event, bringing together supporters, artists, designers, and community leaders for an unforgettable evening celebrating creativity and innovation.

Since its debut in 2017, Scene To Be Seen has transformed the traditional runway experience into a showcase of wearable art, where fashion, fine art, and imagination intersect. Through a blind jury process, selected designers present original creations that push the boundaries of conventional design. Past runway pieces have featured sculptural porcelain elements, hand-painted textiles, intricate paper constructions, floral embellishments, and other unexpected materials transformed into works of art.

More than a spectacular evening, Scene To Be Seen directly supports Naples Art Institute’s mission. Proceeds from the event help fund exhibitions, arts education programs, community outreach initiatives, and opportunities that inspire creativity and foster a deeper appreciation for the visual arts throughout Southwest Florida.
