Look out, it's art attack

A painting will appear before your eyes in just an hour during Art Attack.

The unique fundraiser for the Heart and Stroke Foundation is returning for Valentine’s Day.  Six Okanagan artists are set to inspire during the event.

Each artist, donating their time and materials, will have one hour to create their piece. It will then be auctioned off the same night, with all money going to Heart and Stroke.

Area manager for the foundation Jessica Samuels says artists will also bring selections from their portfolio that will be available for purchase, with proceeds from those sales going to the artists.
 
“We have had such amazing support from this community. Alex Fong, Leanne Spanza and Jolene Mackie are taking part once again this year, and we are quite excited about the new artists who are participating. It is a diverse art show that really makes these pieces accessible to most budgets,” says Samuels.

Last year’s event saw an Alex Fong original sell for under $400, while other paintings were auctioned off for as low as $120.

The event will take place Feb. 10 at Kelowna Heritage Loft, 339 Bernard Ave. Doors open at 7 p.m. and tickets are available for $20 on eventbrite, at the HSF office: 4–1551 Sutherland Ave., or at the door.
