Upcoming Classes & Events

90s Themed: Partner Paint Night

Friday, January 30 | 6-8pm

Welcome to 90s Night Paint Your Partner, a totally fun throwback event!
 
Grab your partner, bestie, or favorite person and paint each other’s portraits with a creative twist. This is not about getting it perfect. It is about slowing down, laughing together, and not taking things too seriously. We will mix painting with collage elements, layering color, images, and texture to create portraits that reflect personality, not perfection.
 
Break out your best 90s look. Flannel, denim, baby tees, windbreakers, bucket hats, butterfly clips. If you owned it in the 90s, it belongs here. We will have 90s music playing to set the mood.

Charcuterie boxes will be available for purchase and a cash bar will be open. Bring your crew, make some art, and leave with a portrait that is all that and a bag of chips.

PS Got kids? Sign them up for a special Art Hop about sharks during this event! Just click the option in the registration below, they will enjoy a craft, story, and snack for a special price of $15 per child for 90s night attendees. Must register by Monday, January 26.
