Creativity on Canvas: Tote Bag Painting at One East Pleasant

A little paint, a few stencils, and a lot of creativity - our Tote Bag Painting event at One East Pleasant was a colorful success! Residents gathered to unwind, get creative, and design their own one-of-a-kind tote bags in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

An Afternoon of Making

Everything residents needed was provided, making it easy to jump right in. From bold brushstrokes to detailed designs, each tote reflected its creator’s unique style.

Supplies included:

• Blank tote bags

• Paints in a variety of colors

• Fabric markers for fine details and lettering

• Stencils to spark inspiration and guide designs

Whether participants followed a stencil or freehanded their own artwork, the results were as fun as they were functional.

Why We Love Creative Events Like This

Events like Tote Bag Painting give residents a chance to slow down, connect with neighbors, and try something new - no experience required. It’s about more than the finished product; it’s about creating space for creativity, conversation, and community right where people live.

Each tote went home with a story behind it, making this event a perfect blend of art and everyday usefulness.
