Dear PAPA Artists:
Several of our members signed up for the “Picture This” charity event at our Member Meeting last month. Chad McLaren is coordinating PAPA participation in this event, and invites you to join the group of PAPA participants, as well!
From Chad McLaren:
Hello Everyone!
Thank you for signing up for the “Picture This” charity event benefiting the Papillion Center in Paducah. This is a unique opportunity for our Gallery members and I’m glad to see so many were interested in participating!
- Theme: “Hope and Transformation” — feel free to interpret this in your own artistic style.
- Entry Deadline: Please have your piece framed and ready to hang by our PAPA meeting on Tuesday, August 26, 2025. Members from the Center will collect the work at the meeting. If you can’t attend, just leave your work in the back with a note and we will be sure and include it!
- Bear in mind that your artwork will be donated to the Papillion Center. Pieces may be silent-auctioned at the event, or displayed at the Center for the community to enjoy afterward.
- Thanksgiving Dinner/Event will be September 4th at 6PM – all are welcome to attend!
The Papillion Center is a faith-based nonprofit that supports kids and families facing trauma, attachment issues, FASD, NAS, and related challenges. Your artwork will not only contribute financially—if auctioned—but it will also serve as a beacon of hope and transformation to the families they serve.
As Dutch would say: Thanks for all you do!
Artfully Yours
Chad McLaren
