The signature event of the Kriye Team at Thames, Sip and Paint is organized to promote creativity and inclusivity within the college community. Participants come together in the cafeteria, enjoying a relaxing atmosphere where they can create art while sipping on coffee drinks with complimentary coupons.
In 2024, the event featured a special focus on celebrating Pride Month - forming alliances and boosting solidarity for and within the queer community. This event was held on June 14, as a means for participants to express their emotions and originality through painting, sketching, or drawing. Art is often overlooked as a powerful form of self-expression, but this event highlighted its importance in fostering mental well-being and personal reflection.
