🚨 Due to weather forecast, paint night is cancelled. Stay tuned for updates on a rescheduled date early next year! 🚨

Let's celebrate art and the outdoors tonight! 🎨🌳

Spending time outside is a great way to recharge and feel your best. When you combine that with art, it's even more powerful. Art is a fantastic way to express yourself and connect with others, while nature provides a perfect backdrop for well-being.

Come join us and give yourself a break. Hope to see you there! 👋

Painting in the Park has been rescheduled for this fall. Join us on 9/24 at 6:30pm at Lost World Park!

September is Su***de Prevention Month, and it's serves as a reminder to focus on kindness, connection, and understanding. Our recent Signs of Hope events on August 27 and September 18 were all about spreading that message.

Unfortunately, we all have a story of our own struggles or someone we love. We hope these signs offer a moment of peace and a reminder to be kind, share beauty, and create space for one another—this month and every day.

Remember, you are not alone. If you or someone you know is struggling, resources are available. You can call or text 988 anytime in the U.S. to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. ❤️
