Join Artsy Fartsy and St. John of the Cross Parish for a special Remembrance Day community fundraiser at St. Genevieve’s Church Hall in Head of Chezzetcook.This isn't just a paint event. It's an opportunity to come together as a community, create something beautiful, and honour the brave men and women who have served our country.
🌺 Help Us Make History!
We're setting an ambitious goal: 100 painters in one room, painting poppies together in support of our local veterans.
Whether you're an experienced artist or you've never picked up a paintbrush before, you're welcome! Our artist will guide you step-by-step as we create a beautiful 16" × 20" "Field of Poppies" painting.
You don't need to be "good at art." You just need to come ready to have some fun, be creative, and enjoy an afternoon with your community.
🎨 Your Afternoon Includes
✨ Step-by-step painting instruction with Artsy Fartsy
🖌️ All painting supplies — just show up and create!
🖼️ Your own 16" × 20" Field of Poppies masterpiece to take home
☕ Tea and coffee
🌺 Poppy-seed themed treats
❤️ A welcoming afternoon of creativity, connection and remembrance
❤️ Paint With Purpose
The poppy has become a powerful symbol of remembrance — a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served and continue to serve our country.
After expenses, proceeds from this event will be donated to our local Legion in support of veterans and Remembrance Day initiatives.
So when you sit down at your canvas, you're not only creating a painting. You're helping us give something back to those who gave so much.
