Calendar Highlight: Art Bonanza

Today marks the start of the first of seven art festivals in Southwest Florida this month.

BY February 3, 2017

 

Art is all around us, they say, if you look closely. But sometimes we just want it right in front of our faces. Well, lucky for us, organized art festivals seriously abound this month—between monthly and annual fairs, Lee and Collier counties, we count a whopping seven. (There’s even the Japanese flower art of Ikebana, too, on display Feb. 17-18 in a show by the Naples chapter of Ikebana International at Naples Botanical Garden.) So go crazy finding that perfect piece—or pieces. Spring cleaning is coming up anyway, right? Or, if you can’t justify a few purchases, simply enjoy the view.
