From a masterpiece on canvas to an item everyone could use at work or home the Avenues Art Program continues to make and sell their original coasters.
Many of you have seen them out for sale at various Avenues events or may have even purchased your own.
It all starts with a painting like this one below. Jim worked hard on his Worhal inspired "pop art hearts."
From there the paintings are shrunken down and sealed and a set of four coasters is created. Every single photo on a coaster is an Avenues original painting and the themes vary from pop art (above and below), Chicago buildings, and Monet paintings.

| Packaged and ready for purchase. |
At this year's Spotlight On Wine Event in October the Avenues Art Program raised over $700 between painting and coaster sales which goes back to the clients for ongoing art classes and activities.
The clients continue working on paintings for the coasters and they sell for $20 per set of 4. Keep an eye out for them at upcoming Avenues events or feel free to email Elaina Kray if interested in learning more.
