Help us help our veterans this christmas

As we tell EVERYONE, if you have the Veterans and a faciality, we will bring everything else at no cost!

We need from you:

- At least a group of 10 Veterans and a faciality to work in that is large enough to give everyone enough space to comfortably be creative.

- TO hand out a questionnaire to all involved, and be returned before we start.

We will:

- Bring 3; 18x24 canvases for each participant involved that day, that they will be able to take home afterwards.

- Plus a sketch book and pencil set to give to them that desire to continue art after the class

- All the paint 

- The beer bottles (empty and cleaned) to paint with (like battling the sword with the sword. see Art Therapy for why we use beer bottles. 

- Table canvas stands

- A patriotic music playlist that include Toby Keith, Coffee Anderson ; Red White and Blue. If desired by all participants.

This a fundraiser event, fun for adults. The B.Y.O.P.B. (Bring Your Own Paint Bottle) The idea is similar to Painting with a Twist and wine n' sip painting events. 

You bring your favorite pack of beer bottles and we bring the canvas and paint. It is a few hours of fun, community and painting. 1 canvas will have a pre sketched image to practice on and the 2nd canvas is a free hand, free4all to be as creative as possible. It is normally about 2 - 3 hours  of fun, friends and music.

*** Because this is not an Art Therapy for Veterans, however a fundraiser in an attempt for us to raise money for supplies, this event would have a charge to it. We normally ask for $35minium  donation per person to cover paint and canvases for the ones putting on the event. Anything above that the host can keep for time and hosting the event.

Donating your time is a great way to give back to the community. You can give back in many ways:

- Volunteer at our Event in Nov.

- Volunteer as a retail fundraiser

- Our goal is to bring our Beer Bottle Art Therapy Nationally, we will need artist, willing to teach classes to our Veterans.
