Sanibel artist Lacy McClary and local musician Slimtronic5k will host a Live & In Color showcase on Feb. 15 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center, at 2301 First St., Fort Myers.

It will benefit the Pace Center for Girls, Lee and Pace Center for Girls, Collier at Immokalee.

Featuring a blend of live arts and entertainment, McClary will paint and complete a large abstract design comprised of 12 smaller 48-inch by 60-inch canvases. The demonstration will be accompanied by performances — opening acts by Carling Witt and Sun State Blues and headliner Slimtronic5k. Slimtronic5k will be accompanied by a band of local artists, including Sheena Brook, Matt Anastasi, Alan Linder, Caleb Neff and Rick Setser.

At the end of the show, four of the 12 canvases — valued at over $8,000 each — will be awarded via a prize drawing, and the remaining eight paintings will be donated to Pace.

Tickets are $55 per person or $100 per couple; admission includes one entry per person for the drawing. Additional drawing entries may be purchased at one for $20 or six for $100.

Presented by Dorcey Law Firm, additional event sponsors include Garramone Plastic Surgery, The Treasure Chest, Worthington Realty, MudBugs Cajun Kitchen and Crowther Roofing.
