Barre Elks Lodge partnered with “A Taste of Art” to host “Painting for Patriots”, our first ever painting party. Instructor Sue Brassard walked participants through painting their very own masterpiece. Attendees had the option of donating their painting to a Veteran in an area nursing home or purchasing it with proceeds benefitting our Veterans programs. Eighteen painted masterpieces were donated back to the Elks Lodge to be delivered to Veterans living at Woodridge Nursing home.
A special thank you to Sue Brassard from A Taste of Art for donating her time and expertise at this event. For future painting parties at Barre Elks Lodge, check out http://www.atasteofartvt.com/
