Fundraising Events Happening in February on Marco Island

Mark your calendars for these worthwhile fundraising events happening in February on Marco Island.

Wet Paint Live

The 11th Annual Marco Island Wet Paint Live event happens Thursday, Feb. 15. Twenty local artists will paint “en plein-air”—painting outdoors—and capture the beauty of Marco Island from various locations that provide great views.

After the artists’ paintings are completed, they will be displayed at the Marco Island Historical Museum’s Rose History Auditorium starting at 5:30 p.m. At 7:00 p.m. the art will be auctioned live.

Before the auction, you’ll be able to nibble on gourmet hors d’oeuvres while you view the art and contemplate a bid. There will also be a silent auction of original artwork. Proceeds from both auctions will benefit the Leadership Marco Scholarship Fund and the Marco Island Chamber of Commerce.
