This event is aimed at parents of children with ASD who would like a night out and to try something different. It's for people who don't consider themselves artists or creative in any way. You will join other caregivers of children with ASD, and follow the step-by-step instructions of a master local artist from blank canvas to masterpiece.

Our local master artists will walk you through step-by-step instructions while everyone enjoys a cocktail and some conversation.  

Autism Ontario will provide all the supplies you will need to recreate your own masterpiece. This includes a 16” x 20” canvas, the use of a table easel, paint, paintbrushes, a Paint and Cocktails apron, and any other supplies you will need for putting brush to canvas in no time.

Food and drink are not included, everyone just orders off the menu and pays for what they've eaten or drank.

This is a 2 hour event.  The pace is pretty casual and there’s usually time for a break (for the washroom, grab an app, to refresh your drink and just walk around and admire everyone’s creation).  

Cost per parent/caregiver is $15.00, which includes the 2 hour guided paint class, canvas, and all materials. 

Due to allergies and sensitivities, please refrain from wearing perfume, cologne, aftershave, or scented products such as hairspray or lotion.

Childcare will not be provided.

Spaces are limited.  Pre-registration is required.
