Pelican Bay is also home to the widely acclaimed Naples Philharmonic Center for the Arts, a cultural icon and world-class performing arts venue. "The Phil", as it is often referred to locally, is a non-profit organization founded to enlighten, educate and entertain, by presenting the very best of both the visual and performing arts, through engagements by renowned and internationally known artists and the Phil's very own orchestra and chorales.

In the 1,425-seat main hall, patrons enjoy the Naples Philharmonic Orchestra with the adult or children's chorales, a famous soloist, or a visiting virtuoso. Each season over 400 events are presented including classical music, pops, Broadway shows, ballet, opera, and concerts by celebrity recording artists. The 200-seat Daniels Pavilion theater offers an intimate setting for shows, music, special events or lectures. The Phil also has four art galleries, two off the main lobby, and two on the upper level. Traveling and select exhibitions are showcased in the galleries during the season. Enjoy the culture of the world without leaving Pelican Bay.

The three-story visual arts center features 15 galleries, which display world-class paintings, sculptures, photography, drawings, and other art mediums. There is also a museum shop and a resource center within the building.

The Naples Philharmonic Orchestra provides Southwest Florida with eclectic sounds of classical and pops concerts, featuring world-class soloists and conductors and accomplished musicians from around the world.
