Naples Art Institute receives grant for teen arts program

Naples Art Institute received a $30,000 grant from the Collier Community Foundation to support its Teen Arts Engagement Initiative. The program will expand opportunities for local youth ages 14-17, offering mentorship with professional artists, workshops in both traditional and digital media, and sessions introducing design software such as Adobe Photoshop. The initiative is designed to provide meaningful, skill-building experiences while encouraging career exploration and creative expression. Grant funding will help the institute connect teens with tools and guidance to pursue arts education and professional pathways. The Collier Community Foundation awards annual grants to nonprofits that address community needs, supported by donor funds managed by the foundation.
