Fleetwood Covington’s Blues Soaked Art Comes to USCB By Mark Shaffer   I knew of Fleetwood Covington long before I finally met him prior to his 2015 show at the Thibault Gallery on Bay Street. Mostly I knew of him through his brother Vince as well as his sister-in-law – my longtime Lowcountry Weekly colleague – Debbi Covington. “Fleetwood’s quite a character,” she told me. I figured he had to be with a name like Fleetwood. I mean, how many Fleetwoods do you meet in life? And as if that were not enigmatic enough, in addition to being an artist with a considerable following, he’s also a musician, songwriter and Blues fanatic.

Art League of Hilton Head and RBC Heritage Golf Tournament, presented by Boeing, team up for a once-in-a-lifetime art exhibition. The Art of Golf, Celebrating 50 Years of Golf Champions will feature reproductions of the winner’s portraits from the last fifty years of the RBC Heritage Golf Tournament. This exhibition will be one of many celebrations of RBC Heritage’s golden anniversary, Cheers to 50 Years!

The next show at the Beaufort Art Association (BAA) Gallery will feature the work of ever-popular Lowcountry artist Tricia Gardner. The title of her show is “Coastal Color Unleashed,” and will run from Feb. 25 to April 29. Both visitors and locals alike are immediately drawn to Tricia’s expressive and exciting work. Her last show at the Gallery almost sold out. An artist’s reception will be held at the Gallery at 913 Bay Street in Beaufort on Friday, March 2, from 5 – 7:30 p.m.
