PAINT DANCING
Paint Dancing was created in 2005 for the purpose of openly expressing yourself for fun in 2 different mediums - AT ONCE!
Paint Dancing sponsors supply the non-toxic paint, brushed and paper! All you need is your paint clothes (and shoes) and you are ready to PAINT DANCE! Paint Dancing is a safe, supportive and fun environment. The best news is; you don't need to know how to paint or dance to participate!
Paint Dancing was founded by internationally known abstract expressionist painter and hunger awareness activist, Matt Jones.

Matt, I'm in awe! You've created a very pleasing environment at Gasworks Gallery (it feels good to be there) - people are having fun while helping to provide food for the less fortunate and that ever-present smile on your face indicates that you are having a fine time while making it all happen.
