If your family was like many of ours, you probably had a picture of a cat or The Last Supper hanging somewhere in your home, lovingly hand-painted by a family member. If you were lucky, as a kid, you might have been able to paint some of the numbers yourself. And it was so much fun!
When
Charles Bruce Foundation was invited by Connie Hollenbaugh to participate in SummerFair in Carlisle on June 24th at Dickinson Campus 9 am – 3 pm, we couldn't resist offering you the opportunity to take this trip down memory lane.
A whole community painting one work of art would require a massive picture. And a massive 8 foot by 4 foot easel (thank you Carlisle Tool Library and Create-a-Palooza!) It required a monstrously large paint by number picture (thank you Chad Bruce!) It required lots of paints and brushes (thank you Carlisle Arts Learning Center and Devera Lang). It required volunteers who are lining up to help. (thanks to too many of you to name – can’t wait to thank you in person!) The only thing left to create Pennsylvania’s largest paint-by-number is YOU.
Please join us at Summer Fair on Dickinson College as we recreate a beautiful childhood (we’ve got everything you need, just come on over and have some fun).
Or…. If making blankets is more your reminiscence jam, you can spend the day making squares for our blanket-in-a-day! It’s part of the third year’s launch of Homeless Remembrance Blanket Project events. Yes, you read that correctly; we will be taking our hand-made creations to the state capitol in Harrisburg this year. Expect to hear MUCH more about this December event in the coming days. In the meantime, use the link below for all the details about this year's Summer Fair. See you there!
