Market Area Studied
The arts market demand is strong. • Highest for less than 10% of the household population. • Cost and accessibility force most into the Collier Today: moderate and low demand groups.

• Market demand is reflective of community priorities. • 80% of survey respondents prioritize making the arts more accessible and “providing more and different arts and cultural activities” • Connectivity to an abundance of arts and Collier Today: cultural opportunities is lacking. • Where: Outside of Naples Arts market • Reasons: lack of marketing, limited exposure, transportation issues, programming and demand communication within exclusive and niche audience groups • Historical, heritage, and authentic local experiences are abundant within the county and under-developed within local and cultural visitor marketing investments
