Paint Night: Paint & Pass

$55

with Shirley Anderson

Calendar Next available session starts Jan 29, 2025 at 5 pm, runs for 1 week

"Paint and Pass Night" is a collaborative art experience where participants engage in a unique form of artistic expression. In this class, attendees start with a blank canvas and are encouraged to freely express themselves through painting. However, there's a twist – after a set amount of time, participants rotate to the next canvas, adding their own touches to the artwork started by someone else. This cyclical process continues until each canvas has been touched by every participant, resulting in a collective masterpiece with layers of individual perspectives. Through this playful and interactive approach, Paint and Pass Night fosters creativity, encourages spontaneity, and celebrates the diversity of artistic styles within a supportive community environment. Join us for a night of creativity, connection, and collaborative artistry with Artist Shirley Anderson. Canvas and paints are supplied.

The whole thing seems like a mystery with too few clues to solve. Aaron Manning, a Licensed Insurance Agent with HealthMarkets, can answer many of the questions you may have about Medicare, from the beginning of the process on. He will discuss: when you are eligible, what is the timeline for enrollment without penalties, what original Medicare covers and what it doesn’t, what additional plans work in conjunction with original Medicare, and your financial assistance options.
