The story
Built around Faith.
The studio at 1065 Pacific Coast Hwy opened July 19, 2023. Faith is a local Seal Beach twin mom who wanted a calm, inclusive room where anyone could come in and make something with their hands. The studio quietly became a lot of different things at once: a paint-party place, a kids’ workshop, a date night, a sensory-aware refuge, a Marine homecoming, a hospice memorial. The foundation is so all of that can keep happening.
Faith’s studio attracts a remarkably wide range of people. Not just one demographic, not just one kind of customer — every age, every income level, people with disabilities and their caregivers, kids on the autism spectrum and their families, military families, veterans, foster parents, hospice families, seniors, school groups. The reason is simple: the act of painting carries real therapeutic value, and that value is universally accessible.
An elderly couple came in not long ago. He chose a canvas and started painting. His wife is disabled and couldn’t lift the brush herself, so her nurse stood next to her and guided her hand across the canvas. They painted side-by-side for two hours. That’s the kind of moment the studio creates regularly. What happens inside the walls is wider than any traditional paint-party business can scale.
Faith already does a lot of charitable work alongside the for-profit operation. Monthly school-day donations. A teacher experience donation. A Manager for a Day program where a kid actually runs the studio under her supervision. Discounted rates for special-needs groups. These are ongoing things she chose to build into her business.
The demand for therapeutic painting — accessible across every demographic — is bigger than what a for-profit business can sustainably absorb. The foundation is the vehicle for the community-service work: formalized special-needs and autism programs, veterans and military-family programming, hospital and hospice partnerships, mail-order outreach for participants nationwide, and a sliding-scale subsidy model so nobody who needs the studio gets turned away.
Two entities, one room
The for-profit
Let’s Go Paint LLC
Stays exactly as it is. Same name, same paint parties, same ownership. Nothing about Faith’s operating control changes. The LLC continues to serve customers who pay full commercial rates for paint parties, classes, and ceramics.
The 501(c)(3)
Let’s Go Paint Foundation
California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation, 501(c)(3) status pending. Separate board, separate books, separate bank account. Runs the wounded-warrior sessions, the autism-spectrum programming, the hospital partnerships, the hospice work, the foster-youth track, the mail-order subscription — everything sliding-scale.
They share the brand and the space. The LLC pays the foundation rent at fair market value when foundation programs use the morning hours. Otherwise: completely separate.
