Center for the Arts Bonita Springs

What better souvenir to capture the essence of a place than a work of art inspired and created there. It does not have to be an expensive piece of work by a name-brand local artist, of which you will find plenty in the Naples area. To find affordable works by local artists that offer a sense of place in the bargain, head to the Gift Store at the Center for the Arts near downtown Bonita Springs. The work created here by members of the community in the center's studios and classes is for sale on site. Clever wall hangings made from palm fronds, fused glass and other artistic jewelry, beachscape paintings, ceramic creations, note cards and prints make wonderful mementos of a visit. In addition, the gift shop sells toys and games that bring out the creative spark in children, plus art supplies.
