Morning Art Breaks Debut at Amy Art Gallery + Studio in Partnership with The Bakery at Grappino

The inaugural event takes place Saturday, June 21 at 10:30 a.m. and continues on the third Saturday of each month through September.

Held at Amy Art Gallery + Studio at 950 1st Avenue North in the Naples Design District—just steps from The Bakery at Grappino — the one-hour sessions offer a refreshing way to start the weekend, and a celebration of Naples’ creative spirit and sense of community—especially during the quieter summer season.

• Guest Hosts & Insightful Dialogue: Rotating experts lead conversations that explore art’s role in everyday life.
• Art by Amy Moglia Heuerman: Attendees will view and discuss original works by nationally known painter and gallery owner Amy Moglia Heuerman.
