Did you know art can play a significant role in supporting mental health for both children and adults? Art can help individuals process emotions, reduce stress, build self-esteem, and improve overall well-being! Nothing connects parents and kids like art!

Our painting events are a fun creative art party. You and your loved ones will create a beautiful work of art to take home. Flip through our provided inspiration packets to choose what you'd like to paint, and Alicia will guide you and your little ones step by step through the process.

What are we painting: Adults and their child/children will paint together on canvases. Summer-themed packets will be provided to choose a picture to guide you in creating your paintings. We'll be painting with acrylic paint. You'll learn basic painting skills and build confidence in your newly created art. All paint supplies are provided.
