Naples is a significant supporter of the arts. Artis— Naples is the premier destination for the visual and performing arts in Southwest Florida. These performance halls and museums are driven to inspire, educate and entertain by presenting world-class events that enrich the diverse community. Offering a unique range of programs— including music, film, dance, comedy, lectures and exhibitions featuring internationally acclaimed artists— the multidisciplinary approach cultivates a broader appreciation for art in its many forms. The Kimberly K. Querrey and Louis A. Simpson Cultural Campus includes two performance halls— Frances Pew Hayes Hall and Myra J. Daniels Pavilion— plus The Baker Museum and the Stabile Education building.
The origins of the arts complex date to the mid- 1980s, when Myra Janco Daniels is elected president of the board, and a fundraising campaign goal of $ 100,000 is quickly met. She and fellow board members discuss a permanent home for the orchestra. By 1985, Curtiss Frank pledges $ 2.5 million if the project is completed in 24 months after groundbreaking, and Frances Pew Hayes makes a $ 2 million donation. Westinghouse Communities deeds a 6.65-acre site in Pelican Bay for the Philharmonic Center for the Arts. The Philharmonic League, a support group for the orchestra, is founded with 25 members.
Whether it is natural resources or human produced creative achievements, the Perry Hotel in Naples provides a perfect destination to appreciate both.
