Spring into the Arts Gala to benefit INC's arts outreach to the underprivileged

Creative Women’s Connection of the International Network of Creatives invites women in all genres of the arts and those with a passion for the arts to the 2024 Spring into the Arts Brunch on March 7, 2024, at Quail Creek Country Club in Naples, FL. CWC connects, mentors, and encourages women in the arts to discover, grow, and live out their God-given purpose in the community and world. An art-filled, artful, colorful celebration of the arts – with a high-value silent auction, brunch, stellar entertainment, and more! Mrs. Jamie Harber, and Mrs. Meribeth Ver Hulst are co-chairs.

Spring into the Arts features Paul Joachim, Food Network star and chocolate and cake sculptor known as “The Chocolate Genius,” who will entertain and amaze attendees. The world-acclaimed artist is well-known for his whimsical, fantastical cake and chocolate sculptures. You’ll get to savor the exotic sweet treats with tastings and samplings. Joachim will create a mystery chocolate sculpture during the event. Concert pianist Tamra Richardt and Naples solo Classical Violinist Misty Drake will entertain attendees with various music genres. An art exhibit will feature the works of accomplished SWFL artists Cheri Dunnigan, pastel painter and metalsmith; Sue Riger, painter; Carri Colvin, painter; Jamie Harber, painter; and others. Kay’s On the Beach will present the finest elegant dresses, outerwear, sportswear, and shoes with sophisticated and casual styles. Vibrant colors to match the warm spring season collection and fresh prints will be seen – with stunning jewelry and accessories.
