Live Painting at the DNC Party

A Memorable Evening at Clos des Roses: The Hangar’s Live Painting at the DNC Jubilee Party

Saturday evening (21/09), 220 members, families, and friends gathered at the beautiful Clos des Roses in Fréjus to celebrate a very special jubilee party hosted by the DNC (De Nederlandse Club). With a long-standing relationship between The Hangar and the DNC—and many of our members involved in both organizations—it was the perfect occasion for us to contribute to this memorable event while introducing The Hangar to new audiences within international communities.

As part of our ongoing efforts to boost marketing and outreach, we decided to sponsor this wonderful event. The DNC president and his team were excited about the idea of adding some artistic flair to the celebration, so we organized live painting to capture the vibrant, festive atmosphere in real time. Our talented instructor, Märta Wydler, took on the challenge, starting with a blank canvas right at the beginning of the party at 6:00 PM. Over the next five hours, she worked her magic, composing a lively and colorful scene that reflected the spirit of the evening.

The party committee also had a wonderful idea to hold a silent auction for the painting to raise funds for the recently reopened Dutch lower school in Cagnes-sur-Mer. Although there was a minor hiccup with the QR code for the auction that evening, the issue will be resolved soon, ensuring that the proceeds can benefit this great cause.

In addition to this live event, The Hangar will also feature an advertisement in the DNC’s magazine this coming year, helping us further promote our diverse range of art classes for the 2024-2025 season. We hope this will attract new members and bring even more attention to the vibrant community of artists at The Hangar.

We look forward to welcoming more new faces to our classes and workshops!
