Covet is proud to host a very special event in the first-annual Paint the Town. Local artist Ben Mann spent an evening in May with local professionals and politicians, doing a crash-course in painting “Ben style”. Each of these wonderful people, who had varying degrees of worry about attempting to paint, completed an acrylic painting to be auctioned off to support Whatcom Hospice Foundation’s Hospice House building fund. The show opened on the 19th of June during Fairhaven’s gallery walk, and will be hanging in our shop until August 1st.
From now until August 1st, all paintings are up for auction, with 100% of proceeds going directly to the Hospice House building fund. KVOS television’s Deb Slater was there to paint in May, and also filmed the painting event for her show, ExperienceNW.
