Naples Art

A major Rembrandt exhibition is opening in Southwest Florida. “Rembrandt: Masterpieces in Black and White – Prints from the Rembrandt House Museum” opens Oct. 10 at the Naples Art Institute.

During September, two exhibitions open, six close and 23 others continue their runs.

Each year, the Naples Art Institute hosts an artist in residence so that patrons can meet new artists and observe their creative processes. Now through Sept. 25, that artist is Jessie Perez. For more than two decades, she has used acrylic paint to explore themes of nature, emotion, and personal growth. Her paintings – of flowers, seashells and organic forms – encourage viewers to slow down, reflect and find beauty in the everyday.
