Sunday, December 7, 1-4pm
ECCO Art Gallery, Lakefield
Here’s something you don’t see every day: local celebrity, author, broadcaster, and artistic whirlwind David Goyette is giving away his entire catalog of paintings — absolutely free. No catch, no gimmick, no silent auction where someone’s aunt outbids you by five bucks. Just show up, point at the Goyette original you want, and if you’re early enough, you walk out with it.
It all happens Sunday, December 7 at the ECCO Art Gallery in Lakefield, from 1–4 pm. It’s first come, first win, so expect doors to open to a stampede of art lovers, collectors, and people who just really like free things.
Admission is free, but attendees are encouraged to bring a donation for Kawartha Food Share — a beautifully Goyette-ish gesture, turning a generous act into something that helps fill real cupboards across the community. There’s just one rule: one piece per family, ensuring that as many people as possible go home with a slice of the Goyette legacy.
Whether you’ve admired his work for years or you’ve been waiting for the perfect excuse to start your art collection, this is your moment. Goyette’s giving spirit has always been part of his public persona — now it’s literally on the walls. Mark your calendar, bring a bag, bring a friend, bring a donation… and good luck snagging your new favourite piece.
