On Saturday, September 28, 2024, from 1pm to 3pm, the WAR Chest Boutique is hosting a special event.

Please join us for our next War Chest Boutique event: A Brush with Freedom: Learn to Paint from a Survivor. This incredible woman has had a long-standing relationship with Women At Risk, International (WAR, Int’l) and has agreed to share her talents with us yet again. She enjoys many creative artistic expressions, including music, painting, and jewelry-making. Her voice is one of the several voices on our “Voices of WAR: Celebration of Rescue” CD. As a painter, she has exhibited works in Art Prize, and plans to showcase art in Art Prize 2025 yet again.

For this class, she is developing a beautiful painting of a bird being released to fly. The inspirational theme for her painting is “Set Free.” She’ll teach us how to recreate the painting step by step, while also taking time to share some stories of her experiences and about how she became connected with WAR, Int’l. Trust us: you will have a great time if you come to this event.

No painting experience required. Novices are welcome!
