Empowering Individuals One Canvas At A Time!
We're committed to making a positive impact on the lives of individuals through visual art.
Our mission is to creatively empower individuals of all ages by unlocking their hidden potential, overcoming their barriers, and finding a creative way to express their feelings and thoughts by exploring visual arts and education.
Senior Painting Classes
If you enjoy painting or being creative, you are already aware of the benefits the creative process has therapeutically. Creativity helps us improve our physical, mental, and psychological wellbeing. When seniors are guided through the creative process, the benefits increase substantially. Here are just a few of the benefits that painting has for seniors.
Art to support Students
Do you have a business that you would be willing to host a piece of art? We have a few options. Our Queens in Crowns project. The mission of Queens in Crowns is to create and install a display for observation and purchase consisting of original and stretched canvas prints full of colorful bold and striking visual art depicting African-American women in positive and uplifting images throughout local businesses in the Pittsburgh and surrounding areas.
Live Art Auction Fundraising
Raising money is always necessary for non-profits. When your mission aligns with the mission of Beanie Paints Foundation our art can make a greater impact on the individuals you serve. Have your audience bid on the live painting and a percentage of the proceeds will go to your non-profit.
“I've seen what a few hours of art can do to an individual. It touches their lives and empowers their being. I want my art to touch everyone who gazes upon it and help further their purpose in life.”
- Irene Sparks, Founder
