Jewelry is a popular medium at Art Fest Naples Invitational Fine Art and Craft Festival.

Fleischmann Park is at 1600 Fleischmann Blvd. in Naples. It’s down the street from Naples Zoo and across from Coastland Center.

For more information, contact Director Taire Malloy at 239-634-2337 or artfestnaples@gmail.com.

St. Vincent de Paul Naples Meals on Wheels delivers nearly $50,000 meals annually to homebound, infirm, or nutritionally at-risk seniors and disabled people. The program receives no government or church funding, and meal recipients are never charged.

Volunteer MOW teams provide far more than nourishment—they offer companionship, conversation, and comfort. For many recipients, the daily visit is their only personal interaction.

Support for WGCU’s arts & culture reporting comes from the Estate of Myra Janco Daniels, the Charles M. and Joan R. Taylor Foundation, and Naomi Bloom in loving memory of her husband, Ron Wallace.
