The San Juan Islands Museum of Art introduces a new art program called Art for Fun, a paint and sip party for adults of all skill levels. The first party is set for Dec. 22 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. and the cost is only $35.00.

In keeping with the trend that is sweeping across the nation, Art for Fun is a two hour, fun-filled art party set in a relaxed, interactive atmosphere, with an option to bring your own beer. It is a great way to celebrate a birthday, share a date night, create team building or just enjoy a night out on your own. Join friends, sip your favorite beverage and follow step-by-step instructions from experienced artists. Everyone paints the same picture, yet takes home his or her own unique creation.

The instructor for this first event is nature artist and instructor, Pamela Hoke, whose high-energy and ebullient personality ensure an entertaining experience. The featured painting for the evening is titled “Starry, Island Lights” and can be viewed on the SJIMA website, www.sjima.org. SJIMA provides all art supplies.

Gift certificates are available. Art for Fun is fun art, not fine art!
