For the past six years, I've had the pleasure, and the honor, of introducing kids to their own inner-artist, at once-a-month Paint-Parties for them, at the McMinnville Community Center. I've loved watching children discover a passion for creating, and watching them develop over the years.This happens every third Wednesday, each month, for kids aged 7-16 (though we do make exceptions for older/younger). Recently, we've had parents request to join in -- and the results, both artistically and connectively, have been amazing!Last night, we painted "Four Seasons Tree" together -- and my favorite part is that there are no two alike. From the back of the room, it looked like a magical forest was emerging! I love watching children develop both competence and confidence, while having meaningful-fun!If you have a child/children who would like to join in, just reach out to the Community Center, and register (503-434-7310). This is a drop-in opportunity -- no commitment ...
