Naples Art Institute is a place to discover, learn about, and engage with the art of our time. As a cornerstone of Naples’ cultural landscape, we welcome artists, students, and visitors to explore the powerful connection between observing and creating art. Our mission is to serve as a catalyst for a more connected, creative, and informed community. We believe art can change lives and improve entire communities. By providing a platform for diverse voices, we aspire to leverage our cultural influence to give rise to ideas, dialogue, and art expressions that reflect our time, and contribute to advancing a collective community.

Our Artist in Residence Program awards temporary residencies to artists. The Program provides a unique opportunity for artists to immerse themselves in an emerging, dynamic community, exchange ideas, form collaborative personal and working relationships with other artists, and engage with the public. Artists receive personal studio space at our Institute in conjunction with public presentation opportunities.
