Inner Sunshine Arts Presents ‘Black Girl Peace and Paint’ in Beckley, West Virginia

By Black By God

Coming to Beckley this Spring! Inner Sunshine Arts presents Black Girls Peace and Paint! This open-studio event series looks to combat mental health struggles for Black girls and women living in Southern West Virginia through creative expression. 

With support from The Black Girls Dream Fund, we plan to host three paint and fellowship sessions leading up to a celebratory Ebony Ball and Art Showcase.

Through Black Girl Peace and Paint, we want to make space for Black girls to relax and use art as a healthy outlet for expression. We hope to create a space where they can leave the weight of the world at the door and be enveloped in love, creativity and a sense of safety.

Please join us for our paint  sessions this spring! The first one kicks off Friday, April 18th at the Southern West Virginia Multicultural Museum and Community Center in East Park! Light refreshments will be served at each paint session. This event series is totally FREE to attend. Just bring yourself and be sure to wear clothes you don’t mind painting in!
