Small Canvases Free Community Paint Event at Block 134

Following a successful first Small Canvases Community Paint, Silver Circle Gallery and Block 134 Arts & Wellness Collective in downtown Putnam are pleased to announce the return of this collaborative art experience on Sunday, January 18, from 1–3 PM, led by Artist in Residence Roland Comtois. Due to limited space, registration is required for this free event (email [email protected]).

The initial community paint brought together artists and neighbors for an afternoon of shared creativity, resulting in a vibrant collection of small works now displayed throughout Block 134. Due to the strong response and meaningful participation, the project returns—inviting both new and returning participants to contribute to this growing, living installation.

This free, interactive event offers a welcoming space to paint, express, and connect. No prior art experience is required, and all materials and canvases are provided. Once completed, each canvas from the January event will join the existing collection at Block 134—further reflecting the creative energy and shared presence of the community.
