Paint Night: Paint Your Partner

$75

with Shirley Anderson, Merrymeeting Community & Adult Education

Calendar May 18, 2026 at 5 pm, runs for 1 week

Welcome to 'Paint Your Partner Night,' where we take the phrase 'getting under someone's skin' to a whole new level! In this class, you'll learn the art of artistic collaboration and possibly a bit about your partner's hidden talents... or lack thereof. Get ready to brush away those relationship cobwebs as you and your significant other (or unwitting victim, depending on how you see it) embark on a colorful journey of mutual creation. No prior painting experience necessary—just a willingness to laugh at your mistakes and each other's questionable artistic choices. Whether you end up with a masterpiece or a mess, one thing's for sure: you'll have a hilarious story to tell and a canvas full of memories. Canvas and paints are supplied. *Price is per couple/pair.
