A COLLECTION of a range of colorful work by Brunswick artist Maria Castellano-Usery on display at Cool as a Moose on Maine Street.
Brunswick artist Maria Castellano-Usery is continuing her work of art philanthropy for the budget-conscious on Saturday at Wyler’s, located at 150 Maine St., Brunswick.
To celebrate her growing program, Brushstrokes with Impact, she invites the community to join her at Wyler’s, where Castellano-Usery will be having a pop-up art show and Paint-a-Thon, with a raffle featuring the finished painting as the prize.
Maria will set up her easel at Wyler’s and have a day-long Paint-a-Thon from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Raffle tickets for the completed 8×8 inch acrylic painting will be sold both in person and online at a price of $5 each or 3 for $10 with the winning ticket being drawn at the end of the day. Additionally, Castellano-Usery will be donating 50 percent of the proceeds from ticket sales to ArtVan.
This is the third event in Castellano-Usery’s series “art philanthropy for the budget-conscious,” where Maria works with other local businesses and charities that are meaningful to her. Castellano-Usery started Brushstrokes with Impact as a “Paint-a-Thon” that took place in December at The Mix and raised nearly $375 for the National Foundation for Cancer Research’s “Play4TheCure” program. Her second event raised over $200 for the Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program’s BackPack Program. Charities and businesses interested in creating a future collaboration can email maria@brushstrokesbymaria.com.
