Kona Community Hospital Auxiliary’s second annual Art at the Pavilion event is next weekend in Keauhou.
Featuring works by new and emerging Big Island artists, the event runs 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. March 19 at the Kona Convention Center at Sheraton Kona Resort & Spa at Keauhou Bay.
During the event, artwork will be for sale, as well as food and gift items. A silent auction is also planned. Entertainment will be provided by Peter Weinstock on keyboard. Admission is $5, and children younger than 12 enter free. Each entry ticket provides a chance to win prizes as well as vote for the best in show artist.
Roberts Hawaii will provide transportation up and down Alii Drive on the day of the show to help people get to the Sheraton.
Proceeds raised during the event will go toward the purchase of a $6,000 vein finder that can be used for both children and adults in Kona Community Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit. The device allows nurses and doctors to identify hard-to-find veins and improve the chances of successfully inserting an IV on first attempt.
