Formerly known as the Philharmonic Center for the Arts, it is dedicated to both visual and performing arts in one architecturally forward location.
The Naples Philharmonic Orchestra still calls the center home as does the Miami Ballet. And most Neapolitans still refer to it as "The Phil."
Its calendar of events cuts a wide swath of entertainment. A Broadway series runs during the winter season, when the snowbirds flock in.
The Artis hosts audiences of up to 1,425 throughout the year for touring orchestras, opera, comedians, modern dance and more than 400 events yearly. It also has a 200-seat black-box theater.

- Jazz Clubs: "Have a sunset cocktail on the complex's new rooftop terrace before the show."

- Best for Jazz Clubs Because: Not a jazz club per se, but it hosts monthly jazz concerts with visiting artists and the house jazz and youth jazz orchestras.
- Recommended as Best Nightlife Because: It hosts everything from rock concerts to ballet and Broadway shows, Naples' most respected performance arts venue.
