Join CCE Marine's Back to the Bays Initiative in partnership with Borghese Vineyard to raise funds + awareness through art!

Cornell Cooperative Extension Marine Program's Back to the Bays and Borghese Vineyard present a Buoys for the Bays Art + Awareness Event. Through this initiative artwork will be created on reclaimed fishing buoys, curated into an exhibit in the vineyard’s gallery, and auctioned off to raise funds for CCE Marine Program.

For novice artists wanting to receive guidance in painting a buoy by professional artists, we will be holding a Buoys for the Bays Painting Party on June 18 at 5pm at Borghese Vineyard.

Buoys painted at this event will be featured in the exhibit and opening celebration on July 11 and listed for sale in support of Cornell Cooperative Extension Marine Program’s Back to the Bays Initiative.

$30 General Admission includes all the painting materials and instruction from artist, Carolyn Munaco, plus a complimentary glass of Rose for the Bays, and a Back to the Bays Stewardship Package!
