Fresh Facades: Fresh Paint
The Fresh Paint Party, October 22nd, 6:30-9:30 PM
Fresh Facades: Fresh Paint marks the 38th iteration of the Copley Society of Art’s long-standing annual fundraiser, originally established in 1988.
This year, the event takes on a fresh new format, reimagining the traditional auction into a simpler exhibition experience, for both participating artists and art enthusiasts alike. This year’s fundraiser celebrates artists, enthusiasts and the curious while recognizing the forward momentum and evolution of the historic organization.
The exhibition continues to welcome a wider range of artistic practices, reflecting the many changes Co|So has embraced, all while remaining committed to the growing artists and community we have served for nearly 150 years.
How does it work?
Artists create original work in a shared 10×10 format, each priced at $300, making collecting accessible and exciting for both new and longtime supporters. More than an exhibition, Fresh Paint is an opportunity to connect with artists, discover new work, and invest in a vibrant creative community.
We invite you to attend and participate in Fresh Paint. In doing so you directly support Co|So’s continued growth and our ability to serve student, emerging and established artists through exhibitions, professional development, mentorship, and community-building programs.
