O

n Thursday, December 1, a special few were invited 
to G & Co. Gallery in Destin for the Art with a Heart 
event. It wasn’t only “Art with a Heart,” but a room 
full of warm hearts. The Arc of the Emerald Coast 

hosted this event at the Gallery where the invited guests exchanged 
chatter, sipped wine, learned about the exciting (new) things going 
on at the Arc of the Emerald Coast, checked out some of the beautiful 
paintings on display and met the new CEO, Mr. John Roper. A 
percentage of sales on that evening were donated to the Arc.
