Bayshore CAPA is asking for donations to bring this vision to life.

Background:

Bayshore CAPA began in 2004 as Bayshore Arts, a 501 C-3 grass roots organization founded by a few local visual artists and community members. It expanded to include the performing arts in 2006, and in 2007 formally defined its mission “To create a state of the art multi-use flex-space Cultural and Performing Arts Center that showcases local visual and performing artists, thereby providing accessible, affordable cultural, educational and performing opportunities for the community”. In 2008, Bayshore Arts re-named itself Bayshore Cultural and Performing Arts Center, Inc. and promoted the resolution passed by the Collier Redevelopment Agency and the County Commission to create the Bayshore Cultural District.

NAPLES CONCERT BAND

This 80-plus member organization has been a Naples tradition for 38 years by entertaining the community bringing Sunday afternoon concerts to Cambier Park. Their performances include music than spans nearly a century of marches, pops, show tunes, semi-classical and classical selections. Each concert is unique, and is often enhanced by the appearance of guest conductors, soloists and vocalists as well as special instrumental presentations by band members. Over the years nearly $70,000 have been awarded to students that have participated with the band.

NAPLES MUSIC CLUB

Founded in 1965, the Naples Music Club is the oldest organization in the Naples area devoted to music. Members include music lovers, professional and amateur musicians, music teachers, conductors and composers. The mission of the Naples Music Club is to support music education and performance, to provide scholarships, and to engage in collaborative outreach efforts within Naples and its neighboring communities. Since 1970 the club has awarded $378,000 in scholarships to 579 Collier County students through a competition program.

NAPLES ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS

Founded in 1993 the group's goals have always been to provide a showcase for talent, and to provide affordable concerts for the greater community of Naples. They also foster musical growth in our schools. The 40-50 instrumentalists in the orchestra and 30-40 singers in the chorus bring quality classical and popular music offered admission-free in the Naples area every year. In addition to providing pleasure for its members and folks in the community, this group gives young musicians and singers a chance to play or sing for an audience. The most deserving among them are awarded scholarships.

PARADISE COASTMEN BARBERSHOP CHORUS

The Coastmen have entertained local audiences for over 35 years. They are a group of 50-plus men who enjoy singing a cappella music in the classic barbershop harmony style. Members come from all walks of life and share a common bond, the love of music. Their repertoire consists of classic barbershop standards, country & western, gospel, Broadway, and contemporary songs of the day. A member of the Barbershop Harmony Society, the chorus is a service organization that provides wholesome entertainment to various business, civic, and church groups. The Paradise Coastmen rehearse Thursdays at Our Savior Lutheran Church, 1955 Curling Avenue, behind Sam's Club.
