‼️CALLING YOUNG ARTISTS AND SENIOR CITIZEN MODELS:

We are in need of some talented young artists and senior models for our upcoming Portraits by Preschoolers event! 🖍️

This intergenerational event aims to bring folks, young and old, together. If you have a kiddo who loves to draw or know any older community members who would love to spend time with the younger generation, please let them know about this event! 🧑‍🎨

P.S. Kids of all ages are welcome to participate! As long as they love to draw and are comfortable around strangers, we would love to have your kiddo at this event! We just like how the name Portraits by Preschoolers sounds 😉
