EFVA Programs for Children & Teens
Paint Nights for all! (Ages 6+)
Paint Nights are virtual gatherings where epilepsy heroes can meet over Zoom and create their own painting of a theme or subject selected by the Paint Night leader. Paint Nights enable epilepsy heroes to explore their creativity in an informal setting and offer an opportunity to meet others and create community.
Participants use their own materials and supplies and work at their own pace.
See our Calendar of Events for the next month’s paint nights!
Please email Lowell Evans or Lauren Shirley for zoom information.
