Palette & Pours: Adirondack Chairs at the Lake – A Wine & Paint Night for Adults

Settle in for Palette & Pours – a relaxed, adults-only painting class where creativity and connection come easy. In this lakeside-inspired session, we’ll capture the charm of colorful Adirondack chairs by the water, bringing summer vibes to life on canvas.

This isn’t your typical art class. It’s a chance to unwind, sip, and enjoy a creative night out. As you paint, you’ll ease into the rhythm of the brush, letting go of the day and enjoying the process as much as the finished piece.

Whether you’re new to painting or have some experience, you’ll feel right at home. Local artists Sandie Bacon and Lezlie Lenz guide you step by step, offering tips and encouragement while leaving room for your personal style.

By the end of the evening, you’ll head home with your own Adirondack chairs at the lake painting – a colorful reminder of a night well spent.

Of course, no Palette & Pours night would be complete without a glass in hand. All painting materials are included, along with complimentary wine to enjoy while you work. Prefer something else? Bring your favorite beverage and sip as you create.

So grab a friend, bring a date, or come solo and make new connections. Either way, you’ll leave with more than just a painting – you’ll walk away with memories, laughter, and maybe even a brand-new hobby.

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