“The events have become very popular in the region and offer a fun, creative experience for those interested in creating their own personal work of art,” said Jennifer Pulver, event sales and marketing manager at St. Bonaventure. “The events provide an enjoyable, no-hassle experience for participants. Anyone with an interest can register to attend, even if you haven’t touched a paint brush since kindergarten.”
Conklin provides step-by-step instruction, which makes creating a unique masterpiece not only possible, but fun, Pulver said.
