ARTIS—NAPLES ANNOUNCES SUMMER 2025 VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAMMING

The Baker Museum remains open all summer with free admission every Sunday

Year-round commitment to the arts features expanded lineup of summer performances and community events

Naples, FL (May 8, 2025) – Artis—Naples announced today a full slate of multidisciplinary summertime programming, including exhibitions, concerts, community events and educational opportunities for audiences of all ages. The Baker Museum remains open throughout the summer and will once again offer free admission every Sunday from May 18 through August 31. Now in its third consecutive season of year-round programming, the museum continues to build on its recent accreditation by the American Alliance of Museums—a distinction only held by approximately 3% of museums nationwide—while offering docent-led tours, family workshops and in-gallery meditation programming.

Complementing these visual arts offerings is a stirring schedule of live performances, ranging from the Naples Philharmonic’s annual Patriotic Pops and Pro-Am concerts to a vibrant new slate of summer performances in Daniels Pavilion and the Ubben Signature Event Space. Highlights include a special edition of All That Jazz, Grand Piano Series’ Narrative Musicales, and tributes to Bob Dylan, Michael Bublé and legendary divas of soul.

“One of the strengths of our multidisciplinary organization lies in its ability to offer connection through many artistic lenses,” said Artis—Naples CEO and President Kathleen van Bergen. “From engaging exhibitions and free Sundays at The Baker Museum to concerts, workshops and performances that enliven our cultural campus all season long, summertime programming reflects our commitment to making the arts an enriching and accessible part of living in Southwest Florida throughout the year.”
