Discover the Joy of Acrylic Pour - aug 30th

Looking for a creative experience that’s fun, colorful, and completely beginner-friendly? Join us on Saturday, August 30, 2025, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Mad Park Art in Madeira Park, BC for our Acrylic Pour Drop-In session.

This event is all about letting go, playing with color, and seeing where creativity takes you. With acrylic pouring, there are no mistakes — just mesmerizing patterns and vibrant works of art that unfold right before your eyes.

What Is Acrylic Pouring?

Acrylic pour painting is a fluid art technique where you mix acrylic paints with a pouring medium, then tilt, swirl, or layer them onto a canvas. The result? Flowing designs, marbled effects, and one-of-a-kind pieces that you simply can’t replicate twice. It’s an art form that’s as much about the process as the finished product.

Whether you’re a first-timer or you’ve tried it before, acrylic pouring is the perfect creative escape. You don’t need to be an artist — you just need a willingness to play with paint and see what happens.

Why Join This Drop-In Event?

• No experience required – Anyone can do it, from complete beginners to seasoned makers.

• Affordable and accessible – Only $5 for drop-in access, with most tools included. Some specialty materials may have a small additional cost.

• Quality time with friends and family – Bring someone along, or come solo and meet other creative people in the community.

• Take home your own artwork – Leave with a one-of-a-kind piece that you poured, tilted, and created yourself.

At Mad Park Art, we believe art is about more than the end result — it’s about connection, fun, and the joy of making something new.

Meet the Founders of Mad Park Art

The Heart Behind Mad Park Art

Mad Park Art was built on the simple belief that creativity has the power to bring people together. At its center are four passionate community-builders — Angela Stearns, Stacy Holt, Wednesday Lachance, and Damien — each bringing unique skills, experiences, and passions that make the studio more than just a space to make art. Together, they form the foundation of Mad Park Art, shaping it into a hub for connection, inspiration, and creativity on the Sunshine Coast.

Angela Stearns

Angela’s creativity spans film production, photography, horticulture, and children’s programming. After moving to Pender Harbour, she dreamed of a space where people could drop in, experiment with crafts, and connect without needing to buy every tool themselves. That vision became Mad Park Art. Today, she brings her love of photography, music, and working with children into the studio, inspiring others to explore their creativity.

Stacy Holt

With over 40 years in the apparel industry, Stacy has worked with world-renowned brands like Lululemon and Arc’teryx, teaching advanced fitting systems, CAD pattern-making, and 3D prototyping. She brings a wealth of textile knowledge to Mad Park Art, along with a love for beaded jewelry, woven bands, and wearable art inspired by the Sunshine Coast. Stacy’s passion is helping others discover joy through creativity, showing that making is for everyone, not just professionals.

Wednesday Lachance

For Wednesday, art has always been a safe and inspiring place — from childhood memories of watching Bob Ross with her dad to award-winning projects in high school. At Mad Park Art, she shares this love of creativity with others, offering warmth and playfulness that makes the studio inviting. Her passions include miniatures, polymer clay, felted plants, and crochet — a craft she mastered later in life with remarkable dedication.

Damien

Details about Damien’s story and artistic journey will be added soon, but his role as a co-founder is already woven into the fabric of Mad Park Art. Like the other founders, he brings energy, creativity, and vision that help keep the space thriving.

A Shared Vision

Though each founder has a unique background, they are united by a common goal: making creativity accessible to everyone. Their collective energy is what makes Mad Park Art more than just a studio — it’s a place where community and creativity collide.

Why Mad Park Art Exists: Our Story and Our Why

Inspired by Place and Tradition

Mad Park Art is rooted in gratitude for its home on the Sunshine Coast, within the swíya of the shíshálh Nation. This land has long been a place of creativity and connection, where artistry is woven into traditions, community, and daily life. Inspired by this legacy, Mad Park Art was created to continue the practice of using creativity as a bridge between people.

Carrying the Legacy Forward

From traditional clothing, adornments, and tools of the past to today’s modern crafts and art forms, creative expression has always been a way for people to connect. Mad Park Art continues this legacy by offering a welcoming space where anyone can experiment, learn, and share. Our goal is not only to provide tools and workshops but to make art accessible to all — no matter age, skill level, or background.

A Place for Everyone

Mad Park Art exists so that anyone in the community can discover the joy of making something with their own hands. Whether it’s through drop-in sessions, workshops, or special events, the studio is designed to be inclusive, supportive, and inspiring. For families, it’s a chance to spend quality time together. For individuals, it’s an opportunity to relax, connect, and grow. For everyone, it’s a reminder that art is not about perfection — it’s about connection.

Our Why

At its core, Mad Park Art’s purpose is simple: to create a space where creativity and community collide. We exist to spark inspiration, foster connection, and carry forward the tradition of art as a way to strengthen community ties on the Sunshine Coast.
