The Captiva Civic Association (CCA) will host a fundraiser for the Protect Captiva Legal Fund.<\/p>\n

Free and open to the public, the Silent Art Auction will take place on Feb. 5 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Captiva Civic Center on Captiva. The event will feature artwork, entertainment, food and drinks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re hosting this for two reasons,\u201d CCA Board President Lisa Riordan said.<\/p>\n

She explained that local artists had voiced interest in taking part in a fundraiser to benefit the fund for the coalition, which seeks to maintain the island\u2019s longtime building height and density limitations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey offered to donate art that would be sold,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re hosting it also because we host at least four art shows each season at the Captiva Civic Association,\u201d Riordan added. \u201cSo we thought this was the perfect venue for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

All proceeds will benefit the fund, which was established in 2023 when the county moved to change the zoning on Captiva to allow for greater density and higher building heights at South Seas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe community has been involved in objecting to those changes and protecting our fragile barrier island,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The auction will feature over 20 pieces from about a dozen artists.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re all primarily island artists,\u201d Riordan said, noting that some are from the local area.<\/p>\n

Mostly paintings of various sizes, there are oils on linen, watercolors and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is also a couple of photographs,\u201d she said. \u201cThey range from beachy to modern art.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the in-person bidding, people can participate online.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s simultaneously going to be online, so those supporters of Protect Captiva who may not be on island can bid if they want to,\u201d Riordan said.<\/p>\n

Online bidding will remain open until Feb. 12 at noon, and participants can rebid on items.<\/p>\n

At the fundraiser, musician Dan Confrey will provide the live entertainment.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s one of our typical art openings,\u201d she said. \u201cSo we will have light fare and adult refreshments available.\u201d<\/p>\n

No tickets or RSVPs are required to attend.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll are welcome,\u201d Riordan said. \u201cIt\u2019s an open house for those in the community who want to stop by.\u201d<\/p>\n

The public is encouraged to attend or participate online.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an opportunity for folks to not only come and share some cheer with their neighbors and friends, but also support Protect Captiva\u2019s Legal Fund, which has great support across the community and outside of the community,\u201d she said, noting that over 1,600 people have donated to the cause.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why we wanted to make sure that those outside of the area can take part,\u201d Riordan added.<\/p>\n

For those who want to support Protect Captiva without bidding, donations are welcome.<\/p>\n
