There are two outdoor art festivals this weekend in Southwest Florida.
Naples Art Institute presents the 46th Annual National Art Fair February 21-23. The National Art Fair is a must–see event because of its high-quality art, the engaging personalities of the artists, and the festive atmosphere in Cambier Park as over 20,000 visitors view art in 17 different categories.
Boulderbrooks Productions holds Bonita Springs Fine Arts at The Promenade at Bonita Bay on February 22 and 23. This boutique art festival is limited to 39 artists, which gives the event an intimate feel.
