Inaugurated in 2011, NIAAF introduced international fine art galleries to the flourishing art scene of Florida’s Gulf Coast for the first time. With solid sales and an attendance of over 16,000 in its premiere year, NIAAF confirmed Naples has a qualified market for fine art and furthered its recognition as a cultural destination on the international art circuit.
The 2012 Fair will again showcase an array of international galleries exhibiting works for sale including American and European 19th and 20th Century painting, antique objet d’art, modern and mid-century Murano glass, sculpture, haute and period jewelry and original design.
The Preview evening, February 23, will honor the Patty and Jay Baker Naples Museum of Art and Naples Philharmonic. The evening will commence with a by-invitation-only First View from 6-7:30 PM, followed by the Collectors Invitational from 7:30-10 PM.
