    We went here for the Matisse exhibit which goes till April. The place is small, has a cute gift…read moreshop but it's very noisy. Some ladies were taking over the lobby while we arrived, they were loud, it was chaotic, felt like stepping into somebody's private party. The actual exhibit is small, art on display is from last years of Matisse when he was having health issues. Not that impressive. Nice activity if you want to spend about an hour or less here. I didn't like the guided tour because they took over a decent part of the exhibit, we had to come back to check it out later. I enjoyed the artwork in the lobby, modern, contemporary and bold. Otherwise, very noisy place, hard to concentrate on art and enjoy it! Check their site for hours and current exhibits! $15 admission, a tad steep since it's a small place!

    The Naples Art Association was founded in 1954 by E. George Rogers, Elsie Upham, and Grace Lake…read morealong with 34 other artists. The formed in order to create art, exhibit it, and teach art to others in the community. A public school art program was established that same year. In 1957, the Naples Art Association organized the first "Art in the Park." Still running today, it's thought to be Naples' oldest outdoor art show. In the 1970s, the Naples Art Association restored the Naples Depot with money they raised. They built studio spaces and held their first art exhibition in 1978. The next year they offered adult art classes and they continued providing educational programs at the Naples Depot until 1998. In 1980, their first annual spring art show was held in Cambier Park. As its known now, the Naples National Art Festival has become our largest fund raiser and is consistently rated among the top 10 art festivals in the country by Sunshine Artist Magazine.1980's In 1992, Naples Art began meeting with the Naples City Council for a lease agreement to provide 8,000 square feet of public land in Cambier Park to build a community art center. In 1995, city leaders signed an agreement and raised $3.5 million through private donations, including one from Suzanne and William von Liebig for whom the art center is named.1990's On November 22, 1998, Naples Art officially opened The von Liebig Art Center. Our 16,000 square foot, two-story facility features six studios, a main exhibition hall, rounds galleries, one of the area's largest art resource libraries, and a gift shop. Today their "mission is to enlighten, engage, educate, and enrich the community and to build on Naples Art's history and position of leadership as a hub of visual arts in Southwest Florida." Their vision is that "art can change lives and improve entire communities. Through our unique and engaging programs, classes, exhibitions, and events, Naples Art enhances communitywide appreciation for and understanding of the visual arts and supports artists of all ages and aspirations."

    In Florida we are a boating state. I've taken the on line boaters safety class and. Still wanted…read moremore. This class is not for everyone. Most enthusiasts will benefit from a basic course offered by the USCG Aux. Legally boats for hire must be under the license of a captain. I had three other friends who are graduates of this school. And while going through this journey you will get to learn along with 9 to 11 other students. My friends spoke highly of Capt Casey and instructors. I had to wait an extra month to get into this class as there was not enough students in December. This month we had a max. Of 12 students, but two dropped out after the first day for other reasons. This course has 4 major categories, rules of the road, chart plotting, navigation gen, and deck gen/ safety. Capt. Terry Kuykendall started by teaching us rules of the road and intro to chart plotting and Capt Joe Calzone taught us the rest. This school also has extra endorsements for towing, master inland, master near coastal, radio operator. Port security, I will have to say that the students in this course were from various backgrounds and ages. 3 of us were retired. Two were involved in marine sales and rentals. And a few were doing it for personal development. One student was sponsored by his employer. Class time is very intensive as they prepare you to think large like 100 gross ton 65ft vessels. Many of the rules are specific to inland waters and international rules are equally important. The weekday night class moves along quickly and we are tested each day after each topic you will be given immediate daily feed back on the information that you have reviewed. They did a good job of staying on topic as to not fly off on tangents. Most of our classmates were respectful to the instructor and other students. The instructors will teach but as students you will have to put in the time to review the manual and learn the procedures and formulas. Know chart navigation and identify signals both lights and sounds. Bells whistles and gongs. Expect it to be very difficult if you fail to study and put time in. The instructor was willing to help one on one if needed.
