Saturday, November 8 at 11AM | Think you're the next great artist? Can you make a masterpiece or will it be a messterpiece? Or maybe just in it for the laughs? Join us at the library for Van Gogh or Van Oh No!, a one-of-a-kind art experience where creativity meets comedy!
Here’s how it works:
Participants will pair up and take turns drawing each other blindfolded—yes, blindfolded! Once the blindfolds come off and the laughs settle down, you’ll bring your masterpieces to life by painting your partner’s portrait based on your “vision.” No experience necessary—just a sense of humor and a willingness to get a little messy.
Whether your final work belongs in a gallery or a comedy sketch, it’s all about having fun, being creative, and maybe discovering your inner Van Gogh… or Van Oh No!
And here’s the best part: All the artwork will be displayed in the library’s art gallery for the entire month of December. Come see the hilariously unique portraits you and your fellow artists created—a true exhibit of blindfolded brilliance!
MUST come with a partner - REGISTRANT MUST REGISTER AS A PAIR.
