]]> My name is Nayari Veras, owner of NV Creations LLC. I’m an artist who provides onsite paint services and commission paintings to nonprofits, corporations, and our communities, starting with Massachusetts. I have a true belief that art has the power to inspire, connect, and uplift individuals, and strive to create an inclusive and supportive environment where everyone can unleash their inner artist. Before that, I spent my career in the mental health field for over 7 years. COVID affected so many mentally, physically, and financially, including me.  I chose to utilize my artistic skills to help others find joy and create beautiful connections and memories through art.

I invite you to your next on-site paint party with you and your team I have an event in April so there is still time to sign up and check out my work. Follow me and Book your paint parties with us.

]]> Founded in 1875, Worcester Historical Museum (WHM) is the only local organization dedicated to collecting, preserving, interpreting and sharing Worcester’s history in all time periods and subject areas for all audiences; and provides exhibitions and programming for all residents to know, enjoy, and celebrate their heritage. Regarded as one of the major local history museums in New England, WHM’s mission is to engage the entire community in its common history. WHM also owns and operates Salisbury Mansion, one of the best documented historic houses in New England.  Built in 1772, it has been restored to its 1830s appearance.

WHM is Worcester! Representing Worcester’s many cultures/time periods, WHM cultivates broad audiences through grassroots outreach, building on a long tradition of strong community partnerships- beginning in 1983 with Water Street (Eastern European Jewish immigrant story) continuing with the Armenian, Black, Swedish, Vietnamese and others to today’s Latino, Black, and LGBTQ+ projects.

WHM’s vast collection, extensive library, and annual calendar of exhibitions, educational programming, tours and publications enable visitors to find and share their own stories. Projects are designed to bring visibility to Worcester’s diverse population.
