an event that happens once a year at the Clay Place called “5 Painters & A
Potter” which features six current Naples artists that each have been living and

some of the galleries offer live music to enjoy while viewing their newest pieces
of art, created by over 30 area artists. This is a professional artist community
in Old Naples by the Bay, all within a one-block walk. Art After Dark is on
Saturday March 11th, from 6 - 9 p.m.
