Natural Awakenings Naples and Fort Myers

Vino’s Picasso Fundraiser for Special Equestrians

Vino’s Picasso, in Fort Myers, will host an evening of painting and refreshments to support Special Equestrians, a therapeutic riding organization, from 7 to 9 p.m., November 17. Participants will paint their own masterpiece, with all materials provided, and have opportunities to win raffle prizes while supporting the cause.

Special Equestrians is an all-volunteer, self-administered organization that provides therapeutic horseback riding classes and equine-assisted activities for those with physical and mental disabilities from Lee, Charlotte, Hendry and Glades counties. Established in 1987, its riders range in ages from 4 to 75 years.

Vino’s Picasso also has a location in Naples, a seasonal studio on Matlacha Island at Leoma Lovegrove’s gallery and garden, and a mobile division that can bring its art-creating experience to homes, restaurants and other settings.
