Palette & Pours: Van Gogh Shed — A Wine & Paint Night for Adults

Creating and expressing oneself through art is a therapeutic and fulfilling experience that promotes mental wellness, relaxation, and self-discovery. Whether you’re an experienced artist or picking up a paintbrush for the first time, art offers a creative escape and a chance to reconnect with yourself.

Join us for Palette & Pours, a special adult-only evening where creativity flows as freely as the wine! This session’s theme, “Van Gogh Garden Shed,” invites participants to explore bold color, expressive brushwork, and their own unique interpretation of this charming, nature-inspired scene.

Led by talented local artists Sandie Bacon and Lezlie Lenz, this laid-back, guided class is designed to help you relax, learn, and laugh, all while creating a beautiful original painting you’ll be proud to take home. Step-by-step instruction ensures that all experience levels are welcome.

All painting materials are provided, and the evening includes a selection of complimentary wine to enjoy as you work. Guests are also welcome to bring their own beverage if they’d like.

So grab a friend (or come solo and make new ones!) and enjoy an evening of inspiration, connection, and creativity. You’ll leave with not just a finished work of art, but a sense of accomplishment, calm, and maybe a new favorite hobby.

*All wine will be included, guests are also welcome to bring their own if they would like!
