About this Event

Join us for Once Upon a Brick: A Brick Painting Experience — a joyful, hands-on event where art, food, and literacy come together for a powerful purpose!

Hosted by The Marion F. Walker Queen’s Project, this family-friendly evening invites adults and children 👥 Ages 10+ — to paint bricks designed to look like their favorite books. Every brushstroke supports summer reading programs for Summit County youth.

🎨 What’s Included:

  • Guided brick painting session (all supplies provided) by P31 Art & Design LLC
  • Your choice of a gourmet boxed meal from Soul Bowl 330
  • A personalized brick to keep or dedicate
  • Music, good vibes, and creative energy

🍱 Choose your meal at checkout:📦 Storytime Slider Box | 📦 Pasta Prologue Pack📦 Garden Reader Box (Vegeterian) | 📦 Once Upon a Brunch


💛 Why Bricks?

Bricks represent the foundation of literacy. Each painted brick is a symbol of support for a child’s reading journey. All proceeds support free tutoring and books for Summit County youth through The Queen’s Project.

Tickets are limited — reserve yours today!
