Friday, March 23, 7 p.m.—GRANVILLE, N.Y.—The Slate Valley Museum will host a Sip and Paint on Slate on Friday, March 23 from 7-9 p.m. The class will paint a spring bouquet with instructor Andrea Tabor, just in time for ringing in spring.

A traditional sip and paint event is centered around enjoying drinks and the company of other people while painting on a canvas all their own to take home. The Slate Valley Museum’s event will encompass this traditional idea while adding a twist. Attendees will paint on slate, rather than canvas, much like many artists in the slate community have done before.

Artists will enjoy light refreshments and snacks during the course of the evening; and the first drink is on the museum. Ticket prices cover the cost of all materials and instruction. The event will take place in the 19th century Dutch barn the Slate Valley Museum calls home. Doors will open around 6:30 p.m. so attendees can settle in before painting starts at 7 p.m.

Tickets are $35. To make a reservation, call 518-642-1417 or stop by the museum. Slate Valley Museum is located at 17 Water St., Granville, N.Y.
