Naples Pier Project
Following the devastation caused by Hurricane Ian, we were struck by the images and experience of people dealing with adversity and coming through; from our First Responders and City Employees putting the lives of the public first, to everyone in Naples getting their lives back together. As we all came together to rebuild, we asked ourselves the question “what can an Art business do to make a difference?”.
On behalf of our community, we created this project wanting to bring us all together, even for just a moment, to our happiest times, favorite occasions, celebrations, sweet and gentle moments with family and friends.
Our mission was to capture your memories, your photos, your positive energy, to create something brilliant and iconic on behalf of our community: an iconic vision of Naples Pier as the shining light we all remember, at the same time raising funds to support our First Responders in need.
Embracing the heart of Naples’ most iconic feature, Naples Pier, Naples-based Emillions Art, partnered with the extraordinary Photo-Mosaic artist, Robin Austin, to create this Iconographic masterpiece in a limited edition as a fundraising medium. This masterpiece was created using thousands of photographs from our community to form the mosaic “tiles” for this piece.
ONLY 100 limited-edition commemorative works will be created in your choice of two sizes 65” x 36” and 48” x 26” . Eighteen (18) works will be auctioned off with 100% of the proceeds being donated— 50% of the funds will go to the Collier County 100 Club and 50% going to the City of Naples for Pier restoration. One artwork is on display in City Hall; another is on display at Naples Fire Rescue Station #1 in downtown Naples. Eighty (80) are available for purchase (see button below) with 20% of the proceeds being equally distributed among the Collier County 100 Club and the City of Naples.
To personalize for your company or family, you have the option to replace 20-30 of the images with your own personal images. An extraordinary once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Don’t miss your chance! Click here!
