Palette & Pours: Paint Your Pet – A Wine & Paint Night for Adults

Get ready for Palette & Pours – a lively, adults-only night where art and wine flow together! This isn’t your average painting class. It’s a chance to laugh, sip, and let your creativity shine.

This session’s theme, Paint your Pet, sets the stage for bold colors and expressive brushwork. Inspired by your best friend, you’ll dive into bringing their physical characteristics to life with a piece that’s as fun to paint as it is to admire. 

But this evening is about more than just technique. Art has a way of relaxing the mind and lifting the spirit. With each brushstroke, you’ll let go of stress and slip into a creative flow. Whether you’re an experienced painter or picking up a brush for the very first time, you’ll discover just how joyful and freeing painting can be.

And don’t worry – you won’t be alone. Talented local artists Sandie Bacon and Lezlie Lenz will guide you step by step, making sure you feel supported while still encouraging your personal style. You’ll learn, laugh, and create at your own pace. By the end of class, you’ll have an original painting you’ll be proud to take home.

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!
