Making Waves on Ministers Island

Making Waves: Art on the Island is an annual event sponsored by Sunbury Shores Art and Nature Centre. This Fine Art Auction is a community arts and nature fundraiser held at Covenhoven House on Ministers Island. It is a extraordinary evening held in a remarkable place, featuring works by 50 contemporary artists, and it all begins by crossing to an island on the exposed ocean floor when the tide is low.
