Each guest will paint on a pre-traced 11x14 canvas and follow friendly, step-by-step instruction from the event facilitator so everyone feels comfortable throughout the process. All materials are included, such as paints, brushes, an apron, and an easel, and you will leave with your finished canvas. Admission is $35 per person. Feel free to bring your favorite snacks and beverages, with beer, wine, and champagne allowed for guests 21 and older. The studio is upstairs in the Westchester Promenade and does not have an elevator. Parking and entry are located behind the building.
