The Shirley Sixteen

An artist’s group within an artist’s group.

With the proximity of art studios, galleries and alternatives spaces artists within the industrial area around Trade Center Way, and particularly down Shirley Street, it’s no surprise that the most concentrated area of artists within the North Naples Arts Alliance formed their own group – The Shirley Street Sixteen.

This weekend marks their first new collaborative effort to gain exposure for their diverse, unique talents. Even better, is that a percentage of this weekend’s proceeds will go to benefit St. Matthew’s House.

You’ll have to see for yourself, this Saturday or Sunday from 1:00 – 5:00pm.  Just find a parking spot around 5850 or 5760 Shirley Street, and walk into each creative environment. There’s sure to be something for everyone!

See what a few of the local press had to say about the new venue:
