Artis—Naples is host to 300,000 visitors annually who experience over 800 extraordinary, world-class performing arts experiences. Your safety is very important to us. To help ensure the highest level of safety and security, Artis—Naples has created policies and procedures to promote a comfortable, secure and welcoming environment for all visitors, artists and patrons.
As part of these efforts, all patrons will be screened at the point of entry and all bags will be subject to search. We suggest that all patrons arrive early and bring only necessary items to avoid delays during the arrival screening process. Additionally, our bag policy limits the size of bags and our prohibited items policy prohibits certain items on the premises.
Visitors who refuse to allow the screening and/or bag inspection may be denied entry.
Please note that guests found in possession of prohibited items including weapons will be required to remove the items from the premises. We do not offer storage for oversized bags or prohibited items, so please plan accordingly.
