Paint for a Purpose class hosted by AWAIC

Featuring Artist Christina Wilson

This October, join AWAIC for a very special Domestic Violence Awareness Month event: Paint for a Purpose. Together, we’ll celebrate healing, creativity, and community through art.

Your Masterpiece

Each attendee will paint and take home their own 24"x12" OR 14"x14" special AWAIC Edition of Christina Wilson’s “Denali Day”(pictured)—a stunning portrait of Denali rising over a field of vibrant Alaska wildflowers, with added fireweed and lupine for a purple flare.

A Collective Work of Hope

In addition to creating your own masterpiece, you’ll also add your brushstrokes to a larger collaborative piece that will hang in the AWAIC shelter—bringing beauty, comfort, and strength to survivors every day.

Double the Impact

For every admission purchased, you’ll also sponsor a domestic violence survivor to join Christina the following weekend for the same class, just for them. Survivors will also contribute to the collaborative piece, making it a true community creation.
