Painting for Polio

Painting for Polio

Pick up a paintbrush and help End Polio Now!

The Rotary Club of Santa Fe returns to Brian McPartlon’s studio for our 5th Annual Painting for Polio, a creative evening of fellowship and fundraising in support of The Rotary Foundation’s PolioPlus initiative.

No artistic experience required! Club artists traditionally join the fun to offer encouragement and guidance, while Rotarians and guests create original works that will be auctioned at the Rotary Club meeting the following day.

Guests are welcome.

How It Works

• Join fellow Rotarians and guests for an evening of painting, fellowship and fun.
• Canvases, paints and basic art supplies will be provided.
• Bring your own beverage; additional refreshment details will be announced.
• Finished artwork will be auctioned at the Thursday, October 22 Rotary Club meeting, which will also celebrate this year’s Pancakes on the Plaza grant recipients.
• Proceeds support PolioPlus and Rotary’s worldwide effort to eradicate polio.

Our Rotary Club of Santa Fe PolioPlus contribution goal for 2026–27 is $2,500.

And the timing couldn’t be better: World Polio Day is Saturday, October 24, making Painting for Polio the beginning of a special week highlighting Rotary’s decades-long commitment to ending polio worldwide.

Registration & Event Details

Time, 2026 ticket price and registration information will be announced soon.

For reference, last year’s event ran from 5:30–8:00 PM, with tickets priced at $25 per person. Those details are currently being confirmed for 2026.

Save the date and come paint with us!
