Painting for a Purpose was founded by two former teachers whose hope was to bring creative people together to paint whimsical decorative items and have their painting make a difference. Our group of painters meet weekly on Wednesdays throughout the year at Portland High School. From time to time, we invite local artists and community members to help with special projects. All of our fanciful items are sold at craft shows, shops, restaurants and by special order. All of the money raised through the sales of our hand-painted items fund youth led fund service learning grants (up to $500 each) initiated by students K-12 in the Portland Public Schools in Maine.
