Paint Away This V-Day With Wine (and Animals)

I don’t always drink while I paint, but when I do, I surround myself with flamingos. If you’re anything like me be sure to read on. Spend a few hours getting artsy (and tipsy) with the animals on February 14 during Paint Night at the Zoo, a unique monthly event that’s one part Dr. Doolittle, two parts Picasso and three parts red, red wine. Your ticket price includes one glass of vino – if you’re over the age of 21, of course – as well as teen-friendly drinks, a variety of cheeses tosnack on, a canvas, paint, brushes and a smock.

This instructor-led workshop is designed for artists of all skill levels so wrangle up the whole motley crew. You’ll be guided step-by-step through creating a masterpiece that’s worthy of hanging in your living room... or at the least in your basement rec room. Space is limited so register online in advance for this or for a future paint night event. Ages 16 and up. $35. 6:30-9pm. 1000 Elmwood Avenue. 941-4998.
