Back by popular demand...it's SPEED PAINTING at Clarity Wine Bar! We had so much fun with this new event in March that we are doing it again. Think speed dating, but with painting:

Each guest will have an easel and a canvas. When the timer starts, they have a set number of minutes to paint before a bell rings and they pass their painting to the person on their right. That person then paints on the canvas for a set amount of time, passes it to the right, and so on until the painting makes its way back to the original painter. We then take a bit of time to finish off the pieces before VOILA! The most interesting, unique artwork emerges! This is a very high energy, fun, laughter-filled event that you don't want to miss! Your ticket purchase includes all art supplies and instruction. Wine, mocktails, and small bites are available for additional purchase and Clarity has the best offerings around!

Gather your friends for a night you won't forget!
