The Naples Art Association has been hosting outdoor art fairs for 55 years that attract over 50,000 art-savvy collectors and attendees looking to buy. Naples is well known for its community of artists and collectors and was named "The #1 Small Art Town in America" by author John Villani in his book The 100 Best Art Towns in America. We invite you to present your talent and art to our community.  

In return, we will promote our festivals and fairs using a wide variety of public relations and advertising including television, radio, print, editorials, email blasts and social media. Applications for the three festivals listed below are available now by visiting www.juriedartservices.com. We look forward to receiving your application.
