This event previously known as The Ole Art and Jazz Festival. The event is moving down the street to

The Naples Lakes Masters Art Festival will be held February 13 and 14, 2016

Boulderbrook Productions held The Ole' Art and Jazz festival at Lely Resort for 6 years. Due to a very succesful run the location is no longer suitable for the festival. So we have moved the event to the park adjacent to Lely Resorts to allow us more space and more parking. Same great show just moved a little ways down the street.

This is a cozy boutique show with spaces available for just 45 national artists skilled in photography, jewelry, glass blowing and painting. Organizer Boulderbrook Productions has limited the number of artists for a variety of reasons. The small number of artists avoids duplication and repetition. It also ensures that festival patrons are exposed to only the highest quality art. Toward that end, festival director Richard Sullivan attends art shows, fairs and festivals every weekend hes not hosting a festival of his own. I know whos the best and I try to get them to do my shows. Its a selection process, not an application process. We send out invitations . We know who we want and we go out and get them.

Sullivan also limits the size and chooses intimate settings for his festivals in order to give participating artists and festival goers a reasonable opportunity to converse about the art on display in the show. Artists are even willing to bring artwork by patrons homes after show hours to see if it the perfect piece. Our artists need to spend time with the collector, explains Sullivan. To explain what he has value and quality. He can only do that at a small show thats designed to bring in art loving patrons .
