Artis—Naples is the premier destination for the visual and performing arts in Southwest Florida. Fulfilling our mission to create and present world-class visual and performing arts, Artis—Naples hosts more than 800 concerts, performances, exhibitions and educational events for children and adults each year. Situated on the Kimberly K. Querrey and Louis A. Simpson Cultural Campus that includes two performance halls, the Frances Pew Hayes Hall and Myra J. Daniels Pavilion, as well as The Baker Museum, Artis—Naples offers a broad array of artistic and educational opportunities to audiences of all ages, backgrounds and interests. Whether you are a first-time visitor or steadfast patron, we invite you to join us to experience the best the arts have to offer.

How do I get there?

Artis—Naples is located in the Pelican Bay neighborhood of North Naples, near Waterside Shops. For detailed directions, as well as a campus map, please refer to our Map—Directions page.

Where do I park?

For evening and weekend events, please park only in the spots on the Kimberly K. Querrey and Louis A. Simpson Cultural Campus, or in our partner lots — the lots across Ridgewood Drive and in levels 3-5 of Waterside Shops’ parking garage as well as surface lots.

Accessible parking spaces are located near the Hayes Hall main entrance. People who would have difficulty walking from Waterside Shops to our cultural campus should arrive early to find parking in our lots.

We do not offer storage for prohibited items or oversized bags so please plan accordingly.

Where can I get something to eat or drink?

Can I take photos?

We kindly ask that patrons refrain from any photography during live performances unless notified otherwise during a pre-concert announcement.

Still photography in The Baker Museum for personal, non-commericial use is permitted unless otherwise noted. Photography may not be permitted in certain exhibitions due to copyright restrictions. The use of tripods, monopods, flash photography or “selfie sticks” is not permitted in The Baker Museum or Hayes Hall galleries.

Sketching in pencil is permitted in the galleries with sketchbooks no larger than 9 x 12 inches. No ink, pens, markers, chalk, easels, stools or sketching while sitting on the floor is permitted. While sketching, please do not hinder visitor traffic flow in the galleries.

During periods of high attendance, The Baker Museum reserves the right to make any necessary adjustments to this sketching policy.

Performances

How do I buy tickets?

You can start on our Buy Tickets page. Here you can browse all events, either listed in order of appearance or on a calendar format. From there, you may purchase tickets online or you may call patron services at 239-597-1900 to speak with a representative. You may also visit the cultural campus during box office hours to purchase your tickets. Be sure to visit our Ticket Policy page for details about cancelations, exchanges and returns.

Do you have a map of seating?

Yes. Please visit our Seating Charts page.

What do I wear?

We suggest business or business-casual attire, but please never let your wardrobe keep you from a performance. The stereotype that you must dress formally (tuxedos, evening gowns, etc.) for a classical concert lives on, but only in cartoons and old movies. Your experience is what’s important, so wear whatever makes you feel comfortable. We ask that you refrain from using strong scents, as they may be distracting to others. Please refer to more information about Your Arrival.

When do the doors open?

The Hayes Hall lobby opens one hour before Hayes Hall performances. Hayes Hall and Daniels Pavilion doors open 30 minutes before events. For Hayes Hall events with a pre-concert prelude, the lobby opens 90 minutes before the performance. Patrons have found it convenient to arrive at least 30 minutes before the event. This will allow you time to park, peruse the art in the Hayes Hall galleries and comfortably find your seat.

How do I read my ticket?

Reading your ticket is easy when you follow the helpful tips on our How to Read Your Ticket page. Additionally, you can always ask one of the ushers upon your arrival if you have a question about your seats.

What if I arrive late?

Please note that late seating is provided at the discretion of the performing artist and cannot be guaranteed.

What if I have special needs?

Our cultural campus is accessible to accommodate wheelchairs and walkers. Hayes Hall, Daniels Pavilion, Rowe Center and Ubben Signature Event Space are equipped with a hearing loop system. Wireless listening devices are also available free of charge. For other needs, please call our box office or contact a member of the usher staff upon arrival. Please visit our Accessibility page for complete information regarding mobility or hearing needs.

How long is the performance?

Most performances last approximately two hours. If intermission is part of the performance, intermission generally lasts 20 minutes. For details about your specific performance, please refer to the printed program that is posted on the event's web page. The program is posted on the web page about two weeks prior to the event.

Can I bring food and drink into the performance?

Food and drinks are prohibited inside The Baker Museum at all times. Limited food and drinks are allowed inside Hayes Hall and Daniels Pavilion except during Naples Philharmonic Masterworks and Visiting Orchestras series performances.

What if something comes up, and I cannot attend?

If you are unable to attend an event and cannot exchange for another performance, please consider donating your tickets back to us. We will issue you a donation receipt for the value of the tickets. Tickets may be donated up to two hours prior to the performance. Or feel free to give your tickets to a friend — they make fantastic gifts! Please visit our Ticket Policy page for further information regarding exchanges, ticket donations, children/infant tickets and more.

Can I record the performance from my seat?

No. We kindly ask that patrons refrain from any audio/visual recording during live performances unless notified otherwise during a pre-concert announcement.

Can I text during the performance?

No. And, as a gentle reminder, we ask that you please silence all electronic devices during the performance.

Do you provide free tickets for charity events or auctions?

Artis—Naples will consider your 501(c)(3) organization request for two donated tickets once within a 12-month cycle. Please visit our Donated Tickets page for details.
