The Naples Art Association had a very busy October, as it kicked off its exciting 2012-2013 season of events, art exhibitions, classes and lectures. Before the month sneaks by us too far, let’s revisit all the fun we’ve had.
On Oct. 19 at the preview reception for the NAA Faculty Biennial 2012 and the Members’ Gallery Small Works Show, we welcomed 300 guests to meet the artists, learn about different art classes we offer and discover many new pieces of artwork. Three of our member artists were surprised with awards for their artwork in the Small Works Show. It was one of many wonderful opportunities friends of the arts had to gather at The von Liebig Art Center this month.
Volunteer Members’ Gallery Assistant Manager and photographer Constance Parry took photos of the winning works. See a full album of images from the preview reception, taken by Avant Garde Images, on our Facebook page.
