Supporting Month
At D' Art, we believe that giving back to our community is an important part of living a fulfilling life. That’s why we were thrilled to support the CT Children Gala this month through a painting donation created by our local artists. We are also excited to partner with Turnkey, a local business, to organize a food drive for the Klingberg Family Center in New Britain. Helping others and seeing the positive impact it has on their lives makes us grateful and motivated to contribute as much as we can.

"I am ART"
Painting
Workshop
We had an incredible time at our "I am ART" painting workshop. Johnny Stefanich was very engaging and he taught us a variety of techniques that we could use to create our own unique paintings. He also encouraged us to experiment with color and texture and gave us helpful tips to guide us through the process. We laughed, we sang, and we painted. At the end of the night, we all had a finished masterpiece to take home.
We can't wait to do it again! Join us in our next painting workshop and experience the joy of creating art.
