and hosted a collaboration with the 100 Cameras Project and the Foundation for the
Developmentally Disabled that brought cameras into the hands of developmentally
disabled individuals.The program is designed to help bring high-quality artistic experiences
and creative opportunities to members of our community who might not otherwise have
the opportunity. By empowering these people to take photographs and consider their
photography art, new pathways to self-expression are opened. Beyond the impact to
participants, the greater Naples artistic community is afforded the opportunity to view the
world through each participating photographer’s unique perspective.

SHELLEY LAKE - UP

Throughout the month of December, join
your artistic community for three fantastic
exhibitions: Selfies/All Media, Members’ Gallery:
Face the Possibilities and Call Up the Figure. Call
Up the Figure features a wide range of artistic
approaches and styles depicting the human figure.
Representing the human figure is a mainstay of art
in the Western World and a long held Naples Art
tradition. Exhibiting artists include José María
Castillo, Rainer Lagemann, Reynier Llanes,
Richard Segalman, Shelley Lake and John Wesley
Simms, Jr. Face the Possibilities calls on artists
to expand their horizons and body of work by
embracing their artistic potential and discovering
new media, techniques and subject matter. And,
Selfies/All-Media is a themed-juried exhibition of
work by NAA Members that plays on the current
obsession with self-portraits and our use of them
for communicating our whereabouts, emotions
and social status.
