Each year, the Naples Art Institute holds three outdoor art fairs, the Naples New Year’s Art Fair in January, Naples National in mid-February and the Naples Downtown Art Fair in mid-March. The Naples Art Institute Director, Frank Verpoorten, says that art fairs are the best way for people to see a lot of art in a short amount of time.

October is National Arts & Culture Month. This year’s theme is “Stories Unite Us.” Every artwork in this year’s Naples Invitational tells a story.
