Community Canvas – Week 2 Update 🎨

Week 2 of Community Canvas was a blast!
We had an incredible time painting alongside the talented Maureen McNeil, as participants began creating their own personal canvases to take home at the end of the program. Creativity was flowing, and it was amazing to see each unique piece start to come to life.

In addition to the individual works, our three large collaborative canvases are well underway and will be beautifully framed and displayed in our Community Program Room once complete.

As promised, here’s your Week 2 progress update—and we’re just getting started! We can’t wait to pick up the brushes again this Thursday and keep the momentum going.

Stay tuned for our next update!
