PALETTE Pleaser

little pastel with your pesto? Both ingredients will, when more than a dozen artists will descend upon locally owned restaurants to capture the dinner-hour ambience as patrons dine. The event is a collaboration between Naples Originals, a group of independent restaurants, and the Naples Art District, where the artists are based. The works will be exhibited and sold to benefit area charities sometime in May. “It’s an amenity for diners and art-lovers to witness live painting,” says event organizer Beth Preddy. “It’s a celebration of visual and culinary art.” ()
