Farmer's Night Out- Painting Party for Local Farmers
Sponsored by Antrim County Farm Bureau


I always love these parties because my "students" show so much talent and depth in their painting, I sometimes...shhhh... end up liking their versions more! #LoveMyJob

Parties for All Ages! We don't teach stress or to age levels, we teach for passion and skill!
Anyone can do it, you just have to try!

Painting is a good way to reflect.
Farmers have a tough job, and this event was a great way to show them a relaxing night off!
