“The naples philharmonic has long been recognized as one of the cornerstones of southwest florida's arts community. In the 2014-15 season, andrey boreyko assumed the title of music director and serves in this capacity for artis-naples. Boreyko is internationally recognized as one of the most exciting and dynamic conductors working today. This appointment, recently extended into 2020, marks his first american post. The naples philharmonic performs over 140 orchestral and chamber music concerts, as well as opera and ballet, education, community and special event concerts annually between september and june in the 1477-seat hayes hall, the 283-seat daniels pavilion and around the southwest florida region. The naples philharmonic was founded in 1982 as the naples-marco philharmonic and in its first season performed four concerts as a chamber orchestra. In 1989, the then philharmonic center for the arts opened as the home of the naples philharmonic, and since then the ensemble has grown in scope, size and artistic impact. The 2015-16 season included celebrated classical artists such as emanuel ax and renee fleming with the naples philharmonic, as well as kristen chenowith, chris botti and branford marsalis.”

“Artis-naples hosts a robust education and presenting season. The over 300 events and offerings include touring broadway, a diverse roster of visiting orchestras, incredible education and lifelong learning programs, plus guest artists from the worlds of comedy, pop, theatre and dance. With an 8.5-acre cultural campus, five buildings, two halls, a museum and a variety of spaces for learning or lecturing, artis-naples presents a broad range of multi-disciplinary programming to match the growing population and interests in southwest florida. Highlights of the 2015-16 presenting season included the vienna philharmonic orchestra's debut concerts in the state of florida. These concerts mark the first of a three-year relationship between the venerable orchestra and artis-naples. In addition, the 15-16 season included yo-yo ma and the silk road project, tony bennett, alan cumming and the joffrey ballet. The education and community partnerships season highlights include a continued relationship with carnegie hall's link up program and a new commitment to our relationship with the collier county public schools through the partners in education program of the kennedy center.”

“The baker museum, established in 2000, is a quickly expanding fine-art museum featuring a permanent collection of nearly 4,000 objects and about 35,000 square feet of indoor exhibition space, plus an outdoor sculpture garden and walk throughout the cultural campus. The baker museum is about rediscovering the established and fulfilling curiosity for the new. A visit is an experience in scale and intimacy-from famed arts patron olga hirshhorn's mouse house collection, featuring more than 200 diminutive examples of individual artistic style by mid- and late-20th century masters to the majestic presence and inspiring awe of dawn's forest, the last and largest sculpture installation by the eminent american artist louise nevelson. The museum's robust educational and exhibition calendar features a combination of exhibitions drawn from the permanent collection of recognized holdings of modern and contemporary art and noted traveling exhibitions. The museum's curatorial team, led by museum director and chief curator frank verpoorten, also champions the work of emerging or mid-career artists by originating exhibitions. These shows often provide artists with their first american museum exposure to american or solo show debuts. In addition to the traveling exhibitions, the 2015-16 season highlights for the visual arts platform included a 15th anniversary exhibition of our permanent collection, as well as an exhibition entitled naples collects which was an extraordinary tribute to the collectors who call naples home. Finally, the baker museum received a spectacular gift from paul and charlotte corddry this season, accepting over 50 works into the permanent collection.”
