About The Event

Each ticket to this event will include a 16x20 canvas, all supplies necessary to create this painting of the Japanese Garden Waterfall, and 1 raffle ticket! No experience necessary for this paint party, every step will be taught step-by-step by our local artist Mercedes Pfab here at our studio!

LEARN ABOUT THE PROJECT!

We can’t be koi – our pond needs your help!

The beloved koi pond in our Japanese Garden is struggling with murky water and an aging, unreliable pump. Without a proper filtration system, the pond’s beauty and health are at risk.

We need to raise $180,000 to install a new pump…
