Best Design 2026
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Scene To Be Seen and helped make this year’s event such an incredible success. We are truly grateful for your support in selling out the show and bringing so much energy to the runway. Your generosity directly helps advance our mission, and the funds raised will support our exhibitions, educational programs, and community outreach. We couldn’t do it without you—thank you!
Scene To Be Seen is our signature fundraising event of the year, attracting guests who are dedicated to the ongoing success of Naples Art Institute. Established in 2017, Scene to be Seen offers artists and models an exciting platform to showcase their talents through a captivating and imaginative runway fashion show.
Each year, we invite entries through a blind submission process, with judges seeking unique and innovative concepts. Previous runway creations have included porcelain-cast bodices, hand-painted parachute dresses, gowns adorned with fresh flower appliques, paper origami, and original watercolor paintings applied to silk satin.
The funding generated from this annual event allows Naples Art Institute to continue providing art education and art appreciation opportunities for children and adults in SWFL.
