Painting for Polio
Pick up a paintbrush and help End Polio Now!
Join us for the Rotary Club of Santa Fe’s 5th Annual Painting for Polio — a creative evening of painting, fellowship and fundraising at Brian McPartlon’s studio.
No artistic experience required! Rotarians and their guests will create original works of art, with fellow Club artists on hand to offer encouragement and guidance. The finished paintings will be auctioned at the Rotary Club meeting the following day, with proceeds supporting The Rotary Foundation’s PolioPlus initiative.

Paint Wednesday. Auction Thursday. End Polio Forever.
The fun continues at our Thursday, October 22 Rotary Club meeting, when the original works created Wednesday evening will be auctioned to benefit PolioPlus.
October 22 will also be a special Club meeting celebrating this year’s Pancakes on the Plaza grant recipients, giving us an especially lively audience for the auction.
Our Rotary Club of Santa Fe 2026–27 PolioPlus contribution goal is $2,500, and Painting for Polio is one of the ways our Club helps move us toward that goal. Last year’s event raised approximately $1,500, and the year before approximately $2,500.
Three Days. One Rotary Mission.

Thursday, October 22 — AUCTION
Bid on the creations at our weekly Rotary meeting.
Saturday, October 24 — World Polio Day
