Summary
Naples Art Institute presents the 48th Naples National Art Fair. Held at the peak of the season, this fine art fair is popular with locals, seasonal residents, and visitors, thanks to the high quality of art and the festive atmosphere amidst the exclusive shops, galleries and restaurants of downtown Naples. The fair opens on Friday evening. Drawing record visitors, the 2026 edition was listed amongst the Best Fine Art fairs in the US by Sunshine Artist Magazine and one of the top fairs in the nation for Fine Art sales by ArtFairSourceBook.
This 2 1/2 day, independently juried fair with 250 booths in Cambier Park and Park Street is also an artist favorite for its combination of a beautiful location, pleasant weather, and great sales.
Naples Art Institute's staff and volunteers create a welcoming atmosphere and are dedicated to the artists' success. With Friday setup, reserved parking options, complimentary breakfast, overnight security, booth sitters, and access to our Institute's facilities, artists can enjoy the fair and focus on interacting with their customers.
Started in 1954, Naples Art Institute believes art can change lives and improve communities. We are committed to developing tomorrow's artists and arts leaders, ensuring artistic expression is accessible to, and inclusive of, everyone.
