Guadalupe Center hosting second ‘Seeing the Bigger Picture’ art show

Guadalupe Center will host its second student art show of the year on Thursday, Oct. 26 at HobNob Kitchen & Bar in Naples featuring a curated auction sponsored by Waterside Shops. Seeing the Bigger Picture, which features inspired artwork by students from pre-school through college, helps raise awareness and support for the center’s transformational education programs in Immokalee.

This year, students will be interpreting the styles of famous artists with Impressions on Canvas. Looking at the works of artists like van Gogh, Picasso, Monet, Kahlo, O’Keefe and more, Guadalupe Center students will showcase their take on these famous works of art.

In addition to the online auction, there will also be handcrafted hors d’oeuvres and signature drinks, all with a live DJ setting the tone.

“Every guest at our inaugural Seeing the Bigger Picture event in March had a great time while learning about the life-changing impacts that education is having on families in Immokalee,” said Guadalupe Center President and CEO Dawn Montecalvo. “So often, art is seen through the eye of the beholder, but this event asks attendees to reflect on the child, teenager or young adult holding the paintbrush.”

Seeing the Bigger Picture begins at 5:30 p.m. at HobNob Kitchen & Bar, 720 Fifth Ave. South, Unit 101, in Naples. Tickets are $150 each and available online at GuadalupeCenter.org/event/seeing the-bigger-picture-23. ¦
