ART AS INVESTMENT AND THERAPY
ART AS INVESTMENT AND THERAPY:
A private experiential event and painting masterclass for women building legacy through creativity
Art as Investment and Therapy is a private, one-night-only experience for just 12 women — founders, creatives, and investors — exploring how art can be both a valuable asset and a form of personal transformation.
Hosted in the intimate, art-filled home gallery of Ukrainian artist Valentina Zasutska, the evening includes artful food, natural wine, meaningful conversation, and creative reflection.
The night begins with a cozy fireside-style talk from Caitlin Kelly, respected art advisor at Kelly McKenna Gallery, who will share insights on how women are using art to build long-term value, cultural capital, and legacy.
Then, Valentina leads a guided painting masterclass, where color becomes a language for self-expression. You’ll explore how different shades connect to your mood, memory, and intuition — and leave with a canvas that holds more than just paint.
A professional photographer will be there to capture key moments and your creative process, so you’ll leave with personal photos to remember and share.
No experience is needed — just a willingness to connect, reflect, and create.
6:30 PM – 7:00 PM

The Color Within: Guided Painting Masterclass
