A “how-to” art afternoon at the Green Beacon Gallery

Guests will have the opportunity to create their own trading cards and will be able to take home their creations or trade after class.

Supplies will be provided. Guests over 21 can bring alcohol to sip on during the event. Participants of all ages can bring snacks. All ages and skill levels are welcome.
