Event Overview

You have just come to a realization: you are constantly doing things for others. Kids, friends, and co-workers have you at their beck and call. When was the last time you did something for you? What did I just hear you say???? It’s been months…right? Well, today is the day you stop, take a breath and decide you are going to do something fun and creative! We all have those artistic ideas rolling around in our minds, and we ask ourselves, can I really do this? You can!

On November 5th, ChiPRC and NIA are hosting “You be the Artist Night”! You will have the opportunity to meet NIA, a group of local artists, who will show you how to do what they do! They are experts in drawing, painting, mixed media and many other techniques, and they will share their knowledge with you. After some initial demonstrations, you (the artist) will have
the chance to apply what you have learned! It is a great way to meet friends and learn something new. Whether you have never touched a paintbrush before, or whether you are comfortable with the term ‘substrate’, you will have free rein to be the artist! Let loose and
experiment! Every guest gets a blank canvas to fill with their ARTIEST ideas!

Professional artists from NIA (Northside Independent Artists) will be on hand to teach you the techniques that will give you the confidence to create long after “You be the Artist Night” is over.

This event is BYOB.
