In a recent piece by Delaware Public Media, the owners of Painted Stave explain how they give away the staves from their barrels to local artists to create works of art. The creations are than auctioned off at a charity event to raise funds to support STEM education for girls in Delaware. This will be the third year Painted Stave has raised money for the Delaware AeroSpace Education Fund which uses the funds to encourage girls to become engaged in science.
This year’s charity auction is November 12 and all the staves will be on display at the Painted Stave until the event.
