Painting in the Park Family Fun Day was created to celebrate the diversity of the arts and creativity in children and families. Not only can kids explore their imagination, but parents can tap into theirs too.  It’s a day of fun where technology is set aside (except for the occasional selfies).  Since 2014, we have had the pleasure of being a place where friends connect, and family bonding occurs through various art forms.  

The value of Art is essential and has the power to transform lives.  Unfortunately, art programs are one of the first programs to be cut due to lack of funding.   Local community and national programs like the NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) and NEH (National Endowment for the Humanities) are in constant jeopardy of being drastically cut or elimanated.  Our annual event highlights the importance of the arts and is a premeir place for families to attend that may have limited resources.   Here are just a few facts of what art education and activities provide:

• Healing
• Exploration
• Expanded Imagination
• Reduced stress and anxiety
• Community and Family Unity
• Relaxation 
• Expression
• Confidence
• Freedom

We will continue planting seeds of love, hope and creativity.  With your contribution, we will continue hosting Painting in the Park Family Fun Day, give away art supplies at this event and at our various programs throughout the year.  Thank you for your support and helping us Keep Art Alive.
