Join us for an exciting new event: Gifted! that celebrates the Arts and “Gifting” in three ways. First, Gifted! This initiative will generate funds for college scholarships for promising young artists and honor 22 Celebrity Artists who generously give to our community. Additionally, it will feature pop-up shops with unique gifts, all in time for the holiday season. The Naples Woman’s Club is proud to host Gifted! at our clubhouse in downtown Naples. Purchase tickets here.
The first Gifted! event, on the evening of December 4th, from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM, is a ticketed cocktail party featuring wine, delicious appetizers, live seasonal music, and a selection of vendors offering unique items for sale. Check out the display honoring some of our community’s most talented artists and their donations to help us raise scholarship funds. And… try your luck at our drawing offering three lovely prizes! Anyone can purchase drawing tickets, and the winners do not need to be present to win: prizes will be awarded late on December 5th.
The second Gifted! event, Friday, December 5th, from 10 AM to 5 PM, continues with even more Pop-Up Shops, the drawing, and the Silent Auction. This event is open to the public (perhaps with an optional $5 donation to the scholarship fund). Live music, edible gifts, flowers, clothing, jewelry, art, and more will make for a fun day in downtown Naples. Soon after 5 pm, the Tree Lighting Ceremony on 5th Avenue will begin. Combining both events will make for a very festive day.
In mid-November, we will launch a Silent Auction featuring donations from our Celebrity Artists, who have joined our efforts to provide educational support to students pursuing a college education in the Fine Arts. Ticketed guests will receive an email alert for the auction, and anyone can participate.
Plenty of free parking is available in our lot, the adjacent city lot, or the nearby city parking garages.
