PeaceLove Studios Visits Studio 35

Contributed By:  Janet Turner, UMCC

On Saturday, November 6, Studio 35 teamed up with PeaceLove Studios of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, for a PeaceLove painting extravaganza at Plymouth Bay Clubhouse. Over forty persons served traveled long distances from three Fellowship Health Resources’ regions (New Bedford, Rhode Island, and Cape Cod & Islands) to attend.

The day began at 12:30 p.m. with Amy of PeaceLove introducing free-form painting, the focus of this event. Studio 35’s Artist in Residence, Gary Hudson, reported that PeaceLove T-Shirts were passed out to all, with the advice that getting paint on them was a “Badge of Honor.”

When acrylic paints, brushes, and 11”x14” canvas boards were distributed to all, the exciting process of creation began. Gary continued, “I was impressed with PeaceLove’s system and want to do this again as a Studio 35 event at Fairwinds Clubhouse.”

Gary reported that persons served were also invited to paint upon one large canvas, a “group painting,” which will be hung at Playmouth Bay Clubhouse. All individual paintings went home with each artist. “Creativity was in high gear!” Gary declared.

Refreshments were provided for all participants. Plymouth Bay Clubhouse prepared a huge pot of chili, and Fairwinds Clubhouse brought the desserts. Cider and coffee were also available.
