Three Artists with one vision revamped a Naples gallery showcasing collaborative artist studios and housing monumental sculptures. Sculptor Joel Shapses is unveiling a dramatic transformation of his namesake gallery in the Naples Art District at 6240 Shirley Street, Suite 102. The reimagined gallery now brings together three dynamic artists under one roof, each contributing a distinct creative voice to a vibrant new artistic hub.
Inside the revitalized space, visitors can enjoy an immersive, three-in-one art experience. Distinct yet seamlessly connected areas showcase Shapses’ striking sculptural works, the working ceramics studio of Joan Eshkenazi—acclaimed for her textured, expressive pieces—and the continuing presence of artist and architect Richard Diedrich, whose studio remains integral to the gallery’s creative energy.
The new design features enhanced lighting, clean sightlines and a natural flow that encourages exploration while allowing each artist’s work to shine within a cohesive atmosphere. Across the street, a new sculpture studio offers the scale and openness needed to display Shapses’ largest works, creating a powerful counterpoint to the main gallery and offering visitors both intimate and grand perspectives on the art.
“This isn’t just a redesign; it’s a redefinition,” says Shapses. “Bringing together three artistic voices while creating space for my large-format work has energized my creative direction. The makeover changes how art is experienced and how the space functions for both artists and visitors.”…
