Every Leaf Tells a Story is a warm, expressive paint night all about connection, creativity, and letting go of perfection.
In this guided experience, guests will paint a softly glowing tree against a dreamy sky, then set their brushes aside and use their fingers to create the leaves—each print becoming a one-of-a-kind mark. No two paintings will ever be the same, because no two stories are the same. This will be done on a 16x20" canvas.
Finger painting brings a playful, almost nostalgic element to the night, making it approachable for beginners while still deeply satisfying for experienced painters. The layered fingerprints add texture, movement, and meaning—symbolizing memories, moments, and the people who shape us.
This paint night is relaxed, social, and encouraging. There’s no pressure to be perfect—just space to create, connect, and leave with a piece of art that feels personal and alive.
✨ Perfect for: all skill levels, social gatherings, mindful creative nights, and anyone who wants to make art that truly feels like theirs.

🌟 Supporting Local Artists
Aurora Artistries proudly works with independent artist contractors for select events. Each contractor participates in multiple training events before leading a class on their own—so you’re always in skilled, prepared hands. This approach allows us to grow our creative community, support local talent, and offer a wider variety of artistic experiences to Fairbanks. We truly couldn’t do this without you—thank you for supporting our small (but mighty!) business.
💛 Artist Appreciation
Keep our artists from becoming starving ones! Did your artist go above and beyond to make your night extra special? Tips are always welcome and very much appreciated—but never required.
