N aples has been transitioning since its beginning. Growth spurts
and increased construction come and go through the years,
shaping the character of our spot in paradise. As a historically
important part of Naples, Crayton Cove is continuing to go
through its growing pains, as well. As the Naples City Dock is in the midst
of being replaced with a safer, better floating dock for the charter boats and
others who use it consistently. These changes are part of an exciting time with
expanding opportunities to experience this cultural commercial neighborhood
as it transitions. This time of the year is a great time to enjoy our amazing
restaurants including Bleu Provence, Chez Boët, The Dock Restaurant and
Napoli on the Bay, while strolling the awesome collection of galleries featuring
art and fine craft by some of our well-known Naples artists and offering the
opportunity to purchase that perfect painting or take home a special memory of
Naples to last for years to come.
We are excited to announce that the Guess-Fisher Gallery is expanding to
the space to the west of the Phil Fisher Gallery to offer more fine art and the
opportunity to participate in art workshops or classes; schedule to be announced.
As has happened annually for the past 8 years, the Galleries of Crayton
Cove will be starting their Art After Dark event which happens monthly on
the second Saturday from October to May. The participating galleries and
art related businesses are Phil Fisher Gallery, Random Acts of Art, Vintage
Charm, Earth & Fire, Naples Ships Store, Cove Inn 24/7 and the newly
expanded Guess-Fisher Gallery. Come and experience an exciting evening of
art and music from 6 - 9 p.m., Saturday October 14, 2017. We look forward to
seeing you!
The Galleries of Crayton Cove is a professional artist community in Old
Naples by the Bay, all within a one-block walk, where 8th Street South meets
12th Avenue South at the flagpole.
