BGC Gander is planning a special evening for parents, and we’re looking for a talented local artist to help bring it to life!

We’re hosting a 2-hour Parent Paint Night, where:
🖌️ The first hour will be a guided painting session
💬 The second hour will focus on a “Parenting Without Power Struggles” discussion

We’re hoping to connect with someone in the Gander area who would be interested in leading the painting portion of the evening. This is a great opportunity to share your skills, connect with families, and be part of a meaningful community event.

If you—or someone you know—might be a good fit, please email [email protected]

📍 Location: BGC Gander
🕒 Date/Time: TBD

We’d love to collaborate with a local artist to make this a fun and engaging night for parents!
