Naples History Month

May is being proclaimed the official History Month in Naples, and you're invited to help make history. Naples Cultural Landscape will be honoring the oldest banyan tree in the City of Naples at a celebration on May 31 at the Naples Backyard History Celebration. This particular Banyan is located at the corner of Gordon Drive and 12th Ave. S, in front of Paul Arsenault's house. Leading up to the May 31 event, the Phil Fisher Gallery will host an exhibition from May 15-31 of images featuring Beardy Banyan. Viewers of the exhibition will vote for their favorite image, and the People's Choice Award winner will be featured on the cover of a book commemorating the exhibition. Do you have a painting, photograph or other artistic representation of this significantly cultural landscape? If so, please pick up an application at Phil Fisher Gallery, 824 5th Ave. S #6, by May 13. For more information, call the Phil Fisher Gallery at 403-8393.
