Guests will create a beautiful summer-inspired painting titled “Sunset Over Lake Minneola,” featuring a warm sunset sky, palm silhouettes, and water reflections inspired by the natural beauty of Lake Minneola.
This special evening is more than just a painting class; it is a fundraiser supporting The Friendship Place and Friendly Grounds Café, programs designed to provide meaningful opportunities for creativity, connection, and community engagement for individuals with disabilities and special needs.
For $50 per person, attendees will enjoy:
- Step-by-step painting instruction
- All painting materials
- Two cocktails per person
- Light refreshments and appetizers
- Hand-baked desserts made by The Friendship Place at Friendly Grounds Café
The guided painting experience will be facilitated in partnership with Painting with a Twist – Clermont, ensuring guests of all skill levels can create a masterpiece to take home.
50% of the proceeds from the event will directly benefit programs that empower individuals with disabilities and special needs through social engagement, vocational training, and community inclusion initiatives.
“Events like Paint & Sip allow our community to come together in a meaningful way,” said Cameron Gomes, CEO of Central Florida Dreamplex. “Every ticket purchased helps create opportunities for individuals with disabilities and special needs to build confidence, develop skills, and experience true belonging.”
