Get into the cozy fall vibe with an evening painting activity. Alisha Muller and the Inspirational Art Center are hosting two events for artists of all skill levels at the Santa Maria Town Center.
“These events allow us to bring creativity to attendees of all ages,” Muller said in an email to the Sun. “It’s a lot of fun to have a creative space where kids or adults can express themselves through art. We really enjoy collaborating with our local mall to offer these free events monthly.”
Those 21 years and older are welcome to a sip and paint night on Nov. 12 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Everyone will paint their own horse with a chestnut-colored mane and sunflowers. Email ielizondo@spinosoreg.com to reserve a space and receive the address. Only 40 spots are available.
On Nov. 17, it’s all about the kiddos. The first 40 participants can create their own scarecrow painting at no cost. While supplies last, additional kits cost $10. No reservations are necessary. Arrive by 5:30 p.m. to 371 Town Center East in Santa Maria.
