It’s time to deck the halls - or walls -- with your own hand-painted holiday sign! 

Join us for the annual Holiday Paint & Sip on Thursday, December 4 at 6 PM, led by the always-fabulous Jill Rae Venerra of Easels on the Gogh fame.

Jill will guide you step-by-step in creating your very own 12” x 30” wooden masterpiece - the kind of piece that says “I’m creative and festive” (even if the wine’s doing most of the heavy lifting). No experience? No problem! Jill makes it easy - she’s a pro at turning “I can’t draw a stick figure” into “I should probably open an Etsy shop.”  You’ll have a few seasonal design options to choose from, and your $50 ticket gets you everything you need: paints, brushes, wood sign, snacks, and a complimentary adult beverage to keep your inner artist inspired.

Sound like fun? Of course it does... so why not reserve your spot here or call (315) 733-4228 Ext. 6.  The class will take place in the H.A.R.P. Museum’s Gallery space, on the 2nd floor of the Irish Cultural Center of the Mohawk Valley. And after class, plan to swing down to Five Points Pub for a nightcap or a bite - the perfect place to show off your new creation and bask in your artistic glory.
