Future—Forward

Campaign for Cultural Excellence


Enduring thanks
for a successful campaign

Launched in 2016, the Future—Forward Campaign for Cultural Excellence aimed to ensure that each member of our community played a part in shaping the exciting next chapters in our history. We are delighted to announce the successful completion of our campaign in May 2023, and to celebrate the tremendous accomplishments and growth that has been achieved. This was made possible through the extraordinary commitments of the Artis—Naples Board of Directors and larger community totaling over $95 million, including 30 gifts of $1 million or more.

We would like to extend our deep and enduring thanks to the supporters who made these immensely thoughtful commitments to the Future—Forward Campaign for Cultural Excellence and the future of Artis—Naples.

  Future—Forward Campaign Supporters

Artis—Naples provides our community with world-class visual and performing arts. Today, just as when we were founded in 1989, our organization is focused on a plan for growth that will enrich our lives, broaden the cultural identity of our region and ensure a vibrant arts landscape for decades to come.

Through the generous and discerning commitments made during the Future—Forward Campaign for Cultural Excellence, we have ushered in a new chapter for Artis—Naples that promises to marry artistic excellence with ambitious plans for the future, all underpinned by the unwavering organizational strength ensured by this campaign.

The Future—Forward Campaign for Cultural Excellence was launched to support four key pillars of the Artis—Naples mission:
