Paint your Pal!
Paint & Sip with Karen Wade

Thursday, February 13
6:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Join Karen Wade on Thursday, February 13 from 6-8:30pm for a Paint & Sip night at Arts on Main!

Get ready for a night of creativity, laughter, and a touch of mystery at our "Paint Your Pal" event! Whether you come with your bestie, partner, family member, or even fly solo, this party is all about capturing the fun and charm of your chosen "pal" on canvas. Here's the twist: you'll be painting from an AI-generated cartoon version of your friend's photo, already pre-traced onto a canvas with key features outlined to guide you. No art experience? No problem! Karen will guide you every step of the way.

What to Expect: 
✨ Create a custom portrait with easy, step-by-step instruction. 
✨ Bring your pal to life with bold colors, playful highlights, and personal touches. 
✨ Enjoy wine or beer while we paint, cash bar available.
✨ Keep your painting a secret during the event for a BIG reveal at the end! Pairs, singles, or groups—everyone is welcome! Just be ready to laugh, paint, and make memories you’ll never forget.

Please email the photo of the pal you’re wishing to paint to Hanah Hailey at communications@gloucesterarts.org. Registration deadline is February 10 at 5pm. Please make sure you have emailed your photo by February 11th.

FOR AGES 21+. All supplies will be provided by the instructor.
