“We create and present world-class visual and performing arts. We inspire, educate and entertain to enrich our diverse community.”

“Artis-naples is unique among nonprofit cultural institutions nationwide, dedicated to creating and presenting world-class offerings of both performing and visual arts on one campus. We inspire, educate and entertain to enrich our diverse community. Artis-naples, home to the baker museum and the naples philharmonic, hosts more than 800 concerts, performances, exhibitions and educational events for children and adults from all backgrounds each year. These events, both paid and free, take place in venues across our 8.5-acre kimberly k. Querrey and louis a. Simpson cultural campus, and throughout the greater community. Artis-naples provides an array of opportunities for the novice or seasoned cultural patron to engage with the arts. This inclusive approach, under the guidance of ceo and president kathleen van bergen and music director andrey boreyko, ranges from single performances to season-long experiences united by a singular theme or ideas. From classical to jazz to ballet to broadway musicals, artis-naples offers a variety of performing arts genres that are enriched through the added benefits of lifelong learning lectures, master classes and museum exhibitions. Artis-naples is also now home to the naples international film festival. Our cultural campus welcomes over 300,000 visitors each year and is currently comprised of two performance halls (frances pew hayes hall and myra j. Daniels pavilion), the baker museum, the toni stabile education building and kohan administration building. The baker museum was closed september 2017 due to necessary repairs as a result of hurricane irma as well as expansion. Although the baker museum proper will remain closed for the 2018-19 season, visual arts exhibitions will be held in the adjacent hayes hall galleries and throughout the cultural campus.”

“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 continues to serve in this capacity for artis-naples. Boreyko is internationally recognized as one of the most exciting and dynamic conductors working today. This appointment, 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 naples philharmonic, and since then, the ensemble has grown in scope, size and artistic impact. 2017-18 season highlights included an eclectic selection of contemporary and repertory works and numerous esteemed guest musicians joining the naples philharmonic, including soprano karita mattila and pianist yefim bronfman.”

“Artis-naples hosts a robust education and presenting season. The over 800 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, 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 2017-18 presenting season included the vienna philharmonic orchestra in its third residency year and performances by jay leno, the hit men, smokey robinson and gladys knight. The education and community partnerships season highlights include a continued relationship with carnegie hall's link up program and a commitment to our relationship with the collier county public schools through the partners in education program of the kennedy center. In october 2017, artis-naples presented the naples international film festival for the first time under its auspices. Over 50 films were shown in three days.”

“Established in 2000, artis-naples, the baker museum, is a fine-art museum currently housing a permanent collection of over 3,000 objects and about 35,000 square feet of indoor exhibition space, plus outdoor sculpture gardens throughout the cultural campus. The permanent collection of the baker museum is maintained for public exhibition, education, scholarship, research and stewardship in furtherance of public service, rather than for financial gain. The baker museum is committed to rediscovering the established and fulfilling curiosity for the new. Past and future visits to the museum are 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 and mid-career artists by originating exhibitions. These shows often provide artists with their first american museum exposure or solo show debuts. Despite the closure of the museum proper in the wake of hurricane irma in september 2017, exhibitions continued as well as popular free events like art after hours and community days. Highlights of the 2017-18 visual arts season included unlimited: the multifaceted work of john carroll long and revelation: jean-denis cruchet, as well as the florida contemporary exhibition and a permanent collection exhibition entitled artis-encounters.”
