The event is free and open to the public.

Artists representing dozens of mediums will line 10 Street South from Central Avenue to Fifth Avenue South. Sculpture, jewelry, woodwork, paintings, wearable art, will be displayed for art collectors, shoppers, and pedestrians.
“We are so thrilled to once more return to Naples,” said Alan. “Since founding the original 5th Avenue Art Festival, we’ve enjoyed 22 years in beautiful, downtown Naples. It is so exciting to bring top national artists to an area already rich with talented, professional local artists and a vibrant art scene. This will be a showcase like none other, with world-class art and heightened safety protocols, ensuring everyone will have a memorable experience.”
Among the renowned local artists featured in the show is Adorable Monique, an award-winning emerging artist who has been recognized for her colorful paintings showcasing the natural world. From Central American flora and fauna to the watery grasslands of the Florida Everglades, each of Adorable Monique’s works portrays the inner beauty of all living things while drawing the eye to see past the color and into the life itself.
