Paint Bouquets & Sip - Awakenings Fundraiser

Come celebrate Pride by creating a bouquet of your favorite florals, sip on a house-made cocktail, and paint a canvas of your bouquet to last! Join us for a step-by-step guided painting tutorial for painting your favorite flowers.

Two ticket options are available:

• General Admission tickets ($50) covers most of our expenses for your supplies and paying our teaching artist for their time.
• General Admission Donation Amount ($75) covers your workshop costs and includes an additional donation that helps Awakenings continue providing free, trauma-informed art programs for survivors in our community. Your extra support helps keep our doors open for those who need healing spaces most.

Both ticket options grant you access to the event equally!
