Capitol Creations

Explore patriotic-themed painting in a relaxed paint party set inside the Old State Capitol, a historic space in Springfield. Choose from projects priced between $35 and $45, with cost varying by design and surface. Supplies are provided unless noted otherwise. Dress for painting, and feel free to bring a covered drink or a snack to enjoy while your piece dries. A selection of take-home kits will be available for purchase if you want to keep creating later. Payment is required to reserve a spot. Whether you are local or visiting, this is a chance to make memories, appreciate the setting, and leave with something handmade.
