Summer at the Naples Art Association
is not only the place to bring out your inner
Renoir, it’s also the place to view spectacular
international, national, and local artists, young
artists, members’ exhibitions, new art trends,
community partnerships, and much more.
Exhibits scheduled include Ignacio Alperin: A
Visual Jazz Affair, which will feature the work of
Ignacio Alperin, an international artist based in
Buenos Aires, Argentina, who gleans inspiration
for his colorful and exuberant paintings from
the jazz greats. Also on display, Members’ Gallery
– World Piece (Fill in the Blank), will feature the
work of artists whose titles will start with “That
Day in _____”, allowing visitors to take a peak
inside their travels through their medium of
choice. And, The Best of All Worlds exhibit will
celebrate the arts, culture, and peoples of the
world – through a creative partnership with
the Stay in May Festival which will present
culinary, music, art, film, dance, and more,
representing more than 20 countries to an eager
crowd of over 10,000 arts enthusiasts in and
around Naples from April 25 through May 8.
Last but not least this summer is the Journeys:
Real or Imagined exhibit. This juried exhibition
of work by NAA members will feature artwork
based on the theme of travel, exploration, and
adventures real and fictional.

While you may or may not have plans to
take back the city this summer, we do hope
that you will take advantage of the slower
pace and rejuvenate your schedule - and your
life - by adding one or more of the Naples Art
Association’s classes or exhibits.
