The Art of Giving: Artem Dare
|
"Artem Dare" is Latin for The Art of Giving.
In 2017, a friend asked if I could teach a painting class to help raise money for her sister's cancer treatment. My love of sharing, making, and giving combined! Just like that, "Artem Dare" was born. |
A class in Gina Barry's home studio.

Plan, Gather, Laugh, Paint, Donate
1. Find a cause*.
2. Gather and make something to raise funds for the cause. (A little painting perhaps?)
3. Send all the good, fun, and creative energy at the gathering to the cause. All funds (less fees) are donated to the cause.
*A cause can be a person, an organization, a gofundme, a kickstarter, a dream, a wish... I am pretty open to good causes. Just tell me about it.

Pick a Painting
Here are some sample paintings. I can make a custom painting for your class. Just let me know what theme you may want.
Pick a date
Classes can be held on weekends and evenings (after my day job). Get an idea of when we can schedule a date here: Eventbrite Link
Pick a location
I am mobile! I can bring the party to you, if you are okay with a little paint flinging. (Set up for 20 available)
I am open to host in other spaces, like a brewery or any business with big tables willing to host some painters.
OR
We can paint at my home studio, in the suburbs of Highlands Ranch, CO.
I have space for 12 painters in my studio. If the weather is good, we can be outside.

Marketing
Once we have the details, I will create and manage and post the event on Eventbrite.
Please help promote your event as that is the best way to get people excited!
Email your friends, family, co-workers, Starbucks barista?
You help gather people to sign-up and I will provide the supplies and instruction to have a great event.

Pick a price
The general rate for a painting party is about $40 per person. That is flexible based on how much you want to earn. The total raised (less Eventbrite's fee) will go to the cause via a check direct from the bank. It can take up to 2 weeks after the event to cut the check.
I use Eventbrite for ticketing. They add an additional fees to the cost of the class for credit card processing and their service (3.7% + $1.79 Service Fee and 2.9% Payment Processing Fee as of 2023). We can also add a line for donations in the Eventbrite ticketing for people can't make the class but still want to donate to the cause. 100% of the money raised by donations go directly to the cause.
If you want to support me, buy my art!
