Fall for Art / Spring for Art Annual Events

Downtown Covington comes to life! Sponsored by the St. Tammany Art Association (STAA), St. Tammany Homestead, and over 35 participating local galleries and merchants. The Spring for Art and Fall for Art annual events draw some 4,000 visitors to the historic St. John district each season. New work by dozens of artists from around the Southeast Region are showcased. The free event includes live music at various outdoor and indoor locations, gallery openings, art demonstrations, outdoor movie screening, first-rate boutique shopping, and fine dining throughout Downtown Covington.

Visitors enjoy live performances by local and nationally-renowned musicians, all over the downtown area. Covington’s many restaurants will be open for business. The festivities are extensive, and to make sure that the crowds move from one end of the map to another, the City of Covington is providing a tram to make traveling easier. Be sure to keep a printed brochure on hand, available at any participating venue! Programs with locations and contact information for each participating shop are available at STAA and at your favorite locations around Covington.

Starry, Starry Night Patron Party and Silent Auction

“Starry Starry Night” is the inspired theme for the St. Tammany Art Association’s annual gala event. The event will showcase star-themed original art by local artists, as well as live music, an open bar, and delectable delights!

Honoring the St. Tammany Art Association’s patrons, the event also serves as a venue for some of the area’s talented local artists. Artists and local celebrities are asked to decorate a paper mache star or create an original piece of “star-themed” artwork for sale in the silent auction. All proceeds of the event, including silent auction items, will go toward the Art Association’s mission of providing support to local artists and education to the community.

Dates and ticket prices to be announced. Tickets are complimentary for patrons (based on levels of membership.) Tickets may be purchased by calling the Art House at 985-892-8650. The event is from 7:00 p.m.– 9:00 p.m. at the Arthouse, 320 N. Columbia Street in Covington.

Auction bidding begins at 8:00 p.m. and closes at 9:00 p.m. For winning bidders, these stars are a great way to start or ad to an art collection. The stars make a lovely new holiday decoration, memorable gift, or for those who collect the stars—a memorable addition to a cultural collection.
