What:
Express your artistic side in a fun way with Red Brick Gallery’s acrylic painting parties. You’ll learn the basics of acrylic painting in a supportive and creative environment, as beginners with no experience holding a brush are more than welcome to try creating their own art. Each party has a theme for every painter to paint, but you’re free to pick your own colors and interpret the theme as your artistic tastes dictate. Bring a friend for twice the fun!
