Wine and Canvas Parties in Torrance

Have you ever wanted to try painting?

Making art can be very fulfilling and provide a sense of well-being.
One piece of the mission of Destination: Art is to ignite the spark of creativity in more people so they might enjoy Fine Art!

Let loose your creative self at a Wine and Canvas Party at Destination: Art in Old Torrance! Participants will be guided through a painting in a fun, supportive atmosphere.

•  Each party has a different project and all art materials are provided for $35.  Party goers can also paint their own choice of subjects. Get ready to get messy! 
•  Participants will bring their own wine and refreshments to share. The next Wine and Canvas Party is Friday, September 11 from 6:30 - 9pm. Or book a private party for you and your friends—minimum six to make a party.

Officially a Non-profit

It's Official!!

A few weeks ago we received notification from the IRS

that Destination: Art is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt

non-profit organization.

So all contributions are definitely tax deductible

using our EIN# 46-4026391

This was a big hurdle for our organization to get over 

so it's worth celebrating!
