Please join us Monday, December 11th, at the Norris Center

for our December to Remember Art Mixer!

5:30 - 7:00 p.m.

Featuring a toy drive benefiting Valerie's House, beautiful performances, culinary delights, art collaborations, and a holiday film!

Enjoy Chef Arturo's light bites inspired by Collier's Centennial and curated in collaboration with food expert Meryl Rosofsky, listen to live music provided by The Naples Carolers, and view holiday decorations and floral arrangements by Naples Picasso gallery owner, Mirela Benes, all while networking with your fellow Collier creatives!

In addition, join us in celebrating the spirit of the holiday with a film viewing of George Balanchine's, The Nutcracker, as well as make your own moves in a complimentary ballet class, offered by UAC Teaching Artist, Isabel Castro.

Furthermore, you can make your own jewelry in a complimentary workshop held by A .JARON Fine Jewelry. Pop into a 20-minute workshop, create your own "wildest dreams" friendship bracelet, and feel good doing it! Your $15 donation supports the work of The Glitter Foundation, Inc. providing life-changing art experiences for youth in Southwest Florida.

The toy drive will benefit Valerie's House a local non-profit that helps children and families work through the loss of a loved one together in order to go on to live fulfilling lives. Their vision is that No Child Will Grieve Alone. Please bring a toy of any value to donate to this beautiful organization!
