The Center for the Arts of Bonita Springs, Inc., doing business as Arts Bonita, is deeply committed to enriching the lives of our community by providing opportunities for artistic expression, education, and appreciation. We proudly serve as a cultural hub in Southwest Florida, with two distinct campuses—each dedicated to fostering the visual or performing arts.
The Visual Arts Center, located at 26100 Old 41 Road, spans 10 acres and features four buildings that house multiple fine art galleries, fully equipped art studios, a gift shop, an art resource library, and beautifully landscaped sculpture gardens, all set within a serene nature preserve. This center offers a wide variety of year-round classes, including painting, drawing, clay, sculpture, glass, mixed media, and more. It also hosts unique art exhibitions and special events, enriching the local cultural landscape with both traditional and contemporary works.
The Performing Arts Center, located at 10150 Bonita Beach Road, sits on a 4-acre campus and is home to the 400-seat Hinman Auditorium and Gallery, as well as the 200-seat Moe Auditorium & Film Center. This venue provides classes in drama, dance, film, digital arts, game coding, and more, welcoming artists and hobbyists of all ages. The center offers an exciting range of live performances, including concerts, theater, comedy, film screenings, lectures, and multicultural events that highlight the visual and performing arts from across the globe.
ARTS FOR ALL—In its dedication to serving the educational and cultural needs of our diverse community, Arts Bonita offers year-round programming that includes workshops, classes, and performances. In addition, we host three top-rated National Art Festivals each year, held in January, February, and March, attracting hundreds of exceptional artists from around the world to the beautiful and historic Downtown Bonita Springs, Florida.
Arts Bonita is more than a place to view or create art—it is a vibrant community space where individuals of all ages and backgrounds come together to celebrate, learn, and grow through the transformative power of the arts.
