POP: a paint-a-thon fundraiser

This summer Inclusive Arts Vermont will host our 2nd annual paint-a-thon fundraiser, and you’re invited to be a part of the creative magic. Join us on Saturday, August 5 from 11am – 2pm at Oakledge Park for a joyous day to celebrate community and support accessibility for people with disabilities.

POP is a paint-a-thon fundraiser for Inclusive Arts Vermont. Formerly VSA Vermont, Inclusive Arts Vermont has been using the magic of the arts to make our state more accessible for people with disabilities since 1986. We do that through arts education, training, and exhibition programs for more than 30,000 Vermonters annually.

At POP, teams will paint canvases live during the 3-hour time frame. After the event, the canvases will be raffled off in the community. Teams can be anywhere from 1-4 people, and each team needs to raise a minimum of $250 to participate.

And new this year, if you can’t make the event in person, you can create a Remote Team and participate from wherever you are in the world! We’ll work with you to customize a remote team experience, and they’ll be ways to connect to the in-person teams virtually on the event day.

The event will also feature a giant community canvas, where passersby can make their mark and try out our accessible art materials. We’ll have music, snacks, water, and lots of creative fun.
