Announcing a NEW fundraising initiative at Lakeshore Arts! Starting in September, we will be hosting Paint & Sip Nights in support of the impactful community arts programming we do.
All skill levels are welcome! Follow along with a local artist to learn painting techniques while sipping on a drink (alcoholic & non-alcoholic options available). Bring a friend (or two) and make some new ones along the way! Join us for one, two, or all of the Paint & Sip Nights!
We are offering tickets at 3 price points for each Paint & Sip Night at $50, $75, or $90. Each of these price points is for 1 ticket, and includes 1 drink ticket (alcoholic or non-alcoholic choices available), and 1 raffle ticket (prize sponsors listed below). We ask that you choose the price point that you can afford, knowing that the higher price points will increase your support for Lakeshore Arts.
We are committed to providing free and accessible programming for all. Proceeds from these paid events are directed towards our programs, enabling us to produce accessible spaces for the community to explore arts and culture. We thank you for your ongoing support!

About the Facilitator
Serene is a Chinese-Canadian creative and an expert daydreamer, utilizing her passion for storytelling to produce digital and traditional imagery that evokes child-like wonder and captures nostalgia. With an artistic journey spanning over 9 years, Serene has established herself as a freelance traditional painter and digital illustrator, lending her creative support to independent musicians, writers, and fellow artists. Her work is a delightful fusion of her interests in mental health, East Asian history and mythology, and the boundless realms of fantasy. Beyond her artistic pursuits, her versatile background includes her academic education in business and her years of entrepreneurial experience, having founded and nurtured three successful start-up ventures. Through her art, she strives to create awareness and appreciation for the beauty of Asian cultures and the stories of marginalized communities. Her creative endeavors are a testament to her dedication to building bridges of understanding and fostering a more inclusive world. When Serene is not painting, her hands stay busy sewing, crafting, and thrift flipping. Serene’s work has been featured at Toronto Pearson Airport, College TTC station, Gardiner Museum, Oriole Community Centre, Scarborough Museum, Downsview Airport, VIBE Arts, and more.
