Ken Kirkby and Nana Cook have donated 43 of their paintings and seven from their collection for a semi-formal gala event to raise funds and awareness for the purchase and restoration of Kus-kus-sum through the engaging and powerful medium of art and the promise of getting a great deal. Each painting is worth between $1,500 and $4,000. 50 ART DRAW tickets at $500 each will be presold for the event (ART DRAW ticket holders may bring 1 guest). Tickets to attend the event as an onlooker will be $15.
Wrapping Up 2019 Party at Bayside Cafe
Project Watershed invites everyone out to the Bayside Cafe on November 30 for the closing of our 2019 Keeping It Living Art Show and to celebrate all the activities and successes we have had this past year.”2019 has been quite a year for Project Watershed and our Kus-kus-sum initiative. We felt that a celebration amongst art that supports Kus-kus-sum was a great way to wrap it all up before Christmas.” said Kathy Haigh, Fundraising Director.
The event will run from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at #5 2760 Cliffe Ave in Courtenay.
Community Donations Boost Kus-kus-sum Fundraising
A recent donation from Janine Martin and Dave Procter gives a huge boost to the Kus-kus-sum fundraising initiative! Janine and Dave made a commitment to donating $50,000 at Project Watershed’s annual Salmon BBQ in September. The donation cheque was presented on the Kus-kus-sum site later that month. The Kus-kus-sum initiative aims to unpave the abandoned sawmill site and create habitat for fish and wildlife. Janine and Dave’s generous donation helped Project Watershed make and surpass the amount needed for their October 30 payment to Interfor Co.
