Newtown Yardley, PA Announcement

Empowered with paint brushes, 29 Bucks County youth are painting hope. They have worked together to create 3 collaborative paintings to put on silent auction to raise funds for non profits that pertain to health. Their painting of Kids Castle in Doylestown is on silent auction to raise funds for St Jude Children's Cancer Research Hospital, and their paintings "Camelback Bridge Over the Delaware Canal" and "Limes for Lyme" are on silent auction to benefit PaLyme.org. Pennsylvania leads the nation in Lyme Disease Cases, and within PA Bucks County has the second highest number of cases. Our youth are at high risk due to outdoor activities.

In addition to the collaborative paintings, each of the 29 aspiring young artists will also have their own individual paintings on display for their art show "Painting Hope" which runs June 4th – 30th at Countryside Gallery, 2 South State Street in historic Newtown.

Their paintings feature images about their childhood of things that make them happy, and the art show also features an "Eye Spy Art" game for visitors of all ages.

There will be notecards of each of the student's paintings on sale. 100% of the notecard sales and silent auction paintings will be donated to St. Jude and PaLyme.org.

Bids on the paintings can be made in person or online at youthartsilentauctionbids@aol.com through June 30th 2025. The highest bidder will be notified the first week of July.

Admission to Painting Hope is free and smiles are guaranteed. We hope you can attend!
