22nd Annual Art Fest Naples Returns to Fleischmann Park on January 19 & 20

NAPLES, Fla. - Jan. 2, 2019 - PRLog -- Art Fest Naples returns to Fleischmann Park on January 19 and 20, 2019.  Celebrating 22 years, Art Fest Naples is a juried show that offers Southwest Florida residents and visitors an opportunity to browse and purchase fine art that includes paintings in oil and acrylic, watercolors, drawings in graphite and pastels, art photography, blown glass, turned wood pieces, sculptures, metal works, ceramics and pottery, fiber art, hand-crafted fine art jewelry and a variety of 2D and 3D mixed media pieces.   Longtime sponsors include Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner and Associates and Carter Outdoor Advertising.

"Art Fest Naples draws 140 of the best fine art and fine craft artists from around the country and is a must do for residents and visitors of Southwest Florida," said Taire Malloy, show director.  "Art Fest Naples has been rated as one of the top shows in Florida and a Naples favorite since 1998."

In addition to the beautiful park setting, Art Fest Naples is unique in Florida and the country because the proceeds benefit a 501(c) (3) organization, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Naples' Meals on Wheels Program.   The program serves the homebound by providing up to 250 people meals five days per week and two frozen meals for the weekend.  Volunteers deliver nutritious meals and provide daily contact for the recipients.  St. Vincent de Paul's other programs include the Family Assistance Center and Choice Food Pantry.  For more information visit www.svdpnaples.org.

"We are grateful to be a beneficiary of Art Fest and we greatly appreciate the community's support," said Diane Van Parys, Art Fest Volunteer Coordinator and St. Vincent de Paul Naples volunteer. "The funds raised will help the Meals on Wheels program serve Collier County's homebound residents." For volunteer information email artfest2019@gmail.com
