Welcome Back, Southwest Florida! Season Is Beginning at COCO Art Gallery

There’s something special about this time of year in Southwest Florida. Friends return, calendars begin to fill, and we start hearing that familiar greeting: “When did you get back?”

To everyone returning for the season, welcome home! We’ve missed you, and we have plenty to share at COCO Art Gallery. Our fall exhibitions are underway, receptions are returning, and it’s a wonderful time to come in, catch up, and find something beautiful for your Florida home.

First, a little news for our returning Estero customers: we’ve moved! If you’re heading out to visit us, please make your way to Miromar Outlets, 10801 Corkscrew Road in Estero. Our Estero gallery has relocated from Coconut Point, and we would love for you to come see our new home. Our Naples gallery continues to welcome you at Coastland Center, 1758 Tamiami Trail North.

A Fresh Season Deserves a Fresh Look

Have you ever returned after a few months away, walked into your home, and thought, “That wall really needs something”?

Perhaps you’ve been meaning to find a painting for the living room, add some color to a guest bedroom, or replace a piece that never quite felt right. You don’t have to redecorate an entire room to make it feel different. Sometimes, one piece of art is all it takes.

At COCO, you can explore paintings, photography, ceramics, glass, wood, fiber art, and more, created by talented artists from our region. Whether you’re drawn to a peaceful watercolor, a lively abstract, or a sculptural piece for a favorite tabletop, there is plenty to discover.

Bring a few photos of your room and measurements of the space you have in mind. Give yourself time to browse. You may find exactly what you came looking for—or fall in love with something you hadn’t considered.

Come for the Art, Stay for the Conversation

Our seasonal receptions are a lovely excuse to gather a few friends and spend an evening at the gallery.

In Naples, the ¡ARTEVIVA! and Micah Goguen exhibition runs through November 1, with a reception on Wednesday, October 14, from 5–7 p.m. November brings the Naples Art District exhibition, November 3–29, and its reception on Wednesday, November 11, from 5–7 p.m. Looking ahead, December’s Multi-Association Plein Air Show offers another reason to return.

In Estero, the Southwest Florida Fine Craft Guild exhibition continues through October 31. If you missed the October reception, you still have time to enjoy the show! Next, Arts of the Inland will exhibit November 3–December 5, with a reception on Wednesday, November 4, from 5–7 p.m. Our Estero reception calendar continues throughout the season, so keep those evenings in mind as you make your plans.

Make COCO Part of Your Season

Whether you’re settling back into your winter home, welcoming guests, or getting an early start on holiday gifts, we hope you’ll make a visit to both galleries part of your plans.

Buying original art is personal. It’s the pleasure of finding something you want to live with, something that catches your eye every time you walk into the room. And when you find it at COCO, you’re also supporting the artists who help make Southwest Florida such a creative place.

Visit our Naples News and Events and Estero News and Events pages for upcoming exhibitions and reception dates.

Welcome back. Come see what’s new, bring a friend, and let’s enjoy another beautiful season together!
