"The Art of Loving Those We Lose" Valentine's Paint & Sip Event

We know that losing a loved one can be tough, especially around Valentine’s Day. Honor your loved one and let us take care of you this year. We have a special treat in store for you. Come join us for an evening of food, conversation and a fun art project that you’ll take home with you that honors your loved one and helps keep their memory alive, all while you continue to take care of yourself and continue the healing process.

We will be painting with Hastings’ own, David Youngren, who owns Arts Aloft, LLC. David will guide us on a 2-hour painting journey. You don’t have to be a “self-professed” artist to come. David will help you each step of the way. How does art heal? It is often a welcomed distraction and physical outlet for our emotions. Scientific studies tell us that art heals by changing a person's physiology and attitude. The body's physiology changes from one of stress to one of deep relaxation, from one of fear to one of creativity and inspiration. We know that art can be therapy, promote healing and just allow us to get out and connect with others.

We will also have local speaker and author, Donna Mathiowetz with us. Donna will share her thoughts and ideas to help those who want to continue to honor their loved ones who are no longer here. The best way we can do that is to love ourselves, others and those who are gone from our sight by living fully in their place. You will come away with some ideas that you can put into use in your life!

This is a private event held at The Onion Grille in Hastings. You must be registered to attend. Space is limited to 30 people. Light appetizers and dessert provided, along with non-alcoholic beverages. A cash bar for cocktails, beer and wine will be available. (The kitchen at The Onion will NOT be open for full dinner service.) 

We hope you will join us for this very special evening! Be sure to share this with your friends and family.
