Arts Bonita Youth Education Programs

Arts Bonita Youth Education Programs are connected to the Bonita Springs National Art Festivals, where families can view and buy artworks directly from the artists who create them. Participants can see the work of 200 national and international artists from the United States, Canada, and Europe, across areas such as paintings, glass, jewelry, clay works, photography, sculpture, and wood. The festivals also include great-tasting foods and beverages in a park setting, and artists donate their work to support Arts Bonita’s educational programs.

• Schedule: Saturday & Sunday, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Artists at the National Art Festivals donate their work to support Arts Bonita’s Off The Walls celebration, which raises funds for youth education programs. All funds collected through donations at the gate go to underserved children, with Arts Bonita awarding more than $250,000 each year in scholarships and arts education programs. This includes over $75,000 in Summer Camp scholarships for underserved children, more than $250,000 annually in scholarships for youth to study dance, drama, and visual arts, over $10,000 each year in college scholarships for students pursuing higher education in the arts, and over $7,000 in free exhibitions, receptions, and awards programs for local elementary, middle, and high school students at Arts Bonita campuses. The Bonita Springs National Art Festivals have received the highest ratings from national ranking services and are ranked high nationally, and are known to artists as one of the best in the country.
