A Festive Afternoon with Artist-Clients

Our holiday festivities continued with a captivating afternoon celebrating with our artist-clients. The air was filled with the aroma of delicious Papa John’s pizza, setting the perfect backdrop for an afternoon of creative joy. The true highlight was the ornament-making activity where our talented artist-clients, staff, family members and friends, let their imaginations soar. The ornaments they crafted were sure to bring holiday cheer to their homes for years to come.

Santa made a special appearance, bringing smiles and holiday magic as he took pictures and checked everyone's Christmas lists. It was truly heartwarming to see everyone mingling, sharing stories, and celebrating the season's spirit. The camaraderie and joy shared among our artist-clients beautifully encapsulated the essence of We Care Arts.
