On November 6th, 2023, the corridors of Booker T. Washington Academy in New Haven, Connecticut, echoed with a delightful symphony of colors, creativity, and community spirit. This was thanks to our latest Spit and Paint session, part of The Winning Circle Series™. Sponsored by @newhavencultural, this gathering wasn’t just an art session; it was a celebration of togetherness and imagination.
Brush Strokes of Togetherness
As the participants arrived, there was a palpable sense of excitement. Parents and students, each holding a paintbrush, were about to embark on a journey not just into art, but into the heart of creativity and connection. The room buzzed with chatter and anticipation as everyone prepared to let their inner artists shine.
Art Meets Music
The event took a vibrant turn as @djkissmeimfamous started spinning tracks. The rhythm and beats added an extra layer of energy to the room. It was a beautiful sight: brushes dancing on canvases in sync with the music, as spirits soared high on the wings of melodies.
Words that Paint
A highlight of the evening was the powerful spoken word segment. Our very own Creative Arts Director, Wilfred Charles, took to the stage. His words painting vivid images in the air, leaving the audience captivated. His performances were not just recitations but emotional journeys that touched every heart in the room.
A Community Canvas
As the session drew to a close, it was clear that this was more than just an art class. It was a testament to the power of community, creativity, and collaboration. Every stroke of paint was a symbol of our shared values and aspirations. The artworks created were as diverse and beautiful as the participants themselves.
