Downtown Naples Festival of the Arts
A tragic ski accident left Marcus Thomas a quadriplegic but today, almost two decades later, he is a celebrated artist, depicting his love for nature and the outdoors in his paintings, despite this severe handicap. His work will be on exhibit during the 21st Annual Downtown Naples Festival of the Arts this weekend, March 28 29. Thomas will be located between 8th and 9th Avenues in Space #19.
Consistently ranked as one of the top 100 fine art shows in the country by Sunshine Artist magazine, the Downtown Naples Festival of the Arts returns for its 21st anniversary. Admission is free and open to the public. This two-day tradition brings together an eclectic mix of nearly 300 of the nation’s most talented artists who will collectively display over $15 million in artwork. The artists were juried by an independent panel of expert judges, and hand-selected from hundreds of applicants based on quality and diversity. All of their artwork is original and handmade in America.
Festival Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday and Sunday.
