Finding a New Canvas

Updated: Jul 2

Help Paint Your Power Rebuild After Tornado Devastation

In the blink of an eye, life can change dramatically. This harsh reality hit us at Paint Your Power recently when a powerful tornado tore through our beloved studio, leaving behind a trail of destruction. As we sift through the debris, our hearts are heavy, but our spirits remain unbroken. Today, we reach out to our cherished community with a plea for support as we embark on the journey to find a new home for our Immersive Art Experiences.


A Place of Healing and Expression


Paint Your Power was never just a studio. It was a sanctuary where people of all ages and backgrounds came to explore their creativity, find solace in art, and connect with others. For many, it was a place of healing—a space where the pressures of everyday life could be momentarily set aside as they lost themselves in the vibrant world of color and imagination.

Our immersive art experiences were designed to do more than just entertain; they were crafted to inspire and empower. We witnessed countless transformations as individuals rediscovered their passion, confidence, and inner strength through the power of art. This was the magic of Paint Your Power, and it is this magic we refuse to let fade.


The Storm's Aftermath


When the tornado struck, it did more than just damage walls and roofs; it disrupted dreams and dismantled a community hub. Walking through the wreckage, we see not just broken canvases and shattered frames, but the fragmented pieces of countless memories and aspirations. It’s a sight that’s hard to bear, but amidst the ruin, there is a glimmer of hope—hope that we can rebuild and rise even stronger.


"Amidst the ruin, there is a glimmer of hope—hope that we can rebuild and rise even stronger."

Our Vision for the Future


We are determined to turn this setback into an opportunity for a new beginning. Our vision is to create a new space that retains the heart and soul of Paint Your Power while expanding our capacity to touch more lives. We envision a studio that is more than just a place to create art; we want to build a community center where people can gather, learn, and grow together. A place where immersive art experiences can continue to inspire and empower individuals from all walks of life.
