ALDO CASTILLO GALLERY HISTORY

For 17 years Castillo had a successful career with his Chicago Gallery since 1993 . By 2010, he had left Chicago, and found the perfect location, between Sarasota, Marco Island and Miami to house a space that would attract visitors and collectors not only from SWF, but European and Canadian art enthusiasts as well. Miromar Design Center, Estero, FL, in close proximity to RSW Airport, was perfect! Aldo had found his first location. The luxurious Miromar Design Center which is Southwest Florida’s ultimate resource for design professionals, visitors and art collectors.

POSITIVE CHANGE DURING THE CORONAVIRUS

In 2020, amid the pandemic, Aldo found the perfect 2nd location, on the historic 5th Avenue South. The location is owned by entrepreneur and philanthropist David Hoffman. He decided to meet with Hoffman and the two men, agreeing with the shared vision, realized that it was exactly what downtown Naples was missing, CONTEMPORARY ART! The Naples space, which is a curated gallery, showcases many of the artists that are shown at the Miromar location, but possesses its own magic when visitors enter through the front door. The Fifth Avenue Gallery draws locals, visitors to the area, art collectors and design specialists. It is the perfect space to experience what all of the Castillo’s international artists want us to feel, emotion.
