First Presbyterian Church and GHA Autism Creative Arts Program Presents...

"Blooming Artists"

GHA Blooming Artists Show

We were excited to host two days of painting workshops with local artist, Rebekah Crisco. We received a matching Grassroots Grant from the Stanly County Arts Council to help fund these workshops. Rebekah offered six different workshops over two days where individuals painted a Georgia O'Keffee inspired flower using acrylic paints on canvases. Rebekah sketched the flowers, and our individuals were creative in making their painting unique to their preferences. The beautiful flowers were bursting with colors. Our "blooming artists" created beautiful pieces or artwork featuring peonies, poppies, zinnias, sunflowers, forget-me-nots, and purple coneflowers.

In addition to the painting workshops, the Development Department put together art kits for Cupcake Paper Flower Art. Kits were distributed to our residential and day services programs. Artwork features beautifully crafted flowers in a variety of colors and patterns using paper and cupcake liners. We are proud to feature Blooming Artwork by GHA Artists at FPC Art gallery during the Fall months.
