Dearest Community,
I’m so excited to share our documentary, Painting Daydreams! ✨ It’s been an incredible journey, and I’m deeply grateful to everyone who made it happen. Please give it a watch—and if it inspires you, share it with someone who’d enjoy it.
We’re officially a non-profit and expanding! 🎉 This year, we’re collaborating with Amherst-Pelham Regional High School, Summit Academy, and Holyoke’s Children’s Museum. 🎨
Looking ahead, we’re already dreaming about what schools and spaces we’ll collaborate with in the ’25-’26 school year. 💭 If you have ideas or want to start the conversation, reach out—we are not limited by geography! 🌍
Much love,
Sharona Color
