N aples is a unique place and like
no other. Many love Naples for
numerous reasons. It is a small town
in so many ways yet bursting at its
seams as the economy picks up. Construction
is a constant sight, and seems to be increasing
daily. Many look at this as progress and others
see it differently. Those that have known Naples
for years, hope that too many of the reminders
of “a simpler kinder place to be,” don’t disappear
totally, as it expands. This is a great time to visit
Old Naples and discover Crayton Cove. This
waterfront community is one of the earliest
gateways into Naples as a fledgling town and
continues to be an oasis of calming energy in the
midst of a bustling downtown area.

Crayton Cove has become a culturally
active destination for those looking for the
most popular and collected artists in Naples.
It is a place that has attracted artists for many
years and some of the artists located here have
been painting in Naples for over 44 years
and counting. The Galleries of Crayton Cove
boast a stable of at least seven resident artists
with a variety of visiting artists showing in
their galleries throughout the year. They host
an on-going show in the lobby of the Cove
Inn where it’s possible to view a sampling
of what’s available in the nearby galleries if
desiring to see more.

As season starts to build, the Galleries of
Crayton Cove, kick off the Fall with their
signature event, Art After Dark, on the second
Saturday of the month, October 10, 2015, from
6 - 9 p.m. It’s an opportunity to view art, meet the artists and snack on refreshments
while listening to up-beat music by some of our areas finest musicians. The Galleries of
Crayton Cove consist of Phil Fisher Gallery & Studio, Arsenault Gallery, Nora Butler
Designs, Earth & Fire, Random Acts of Art, Vintage Charm and Guess-Fisher Gallery.
Come and stroll the galleries and discover your newest favorite work of art by one of
our wonderful artists!
