About the event

Come help us celebrate East Regional's 20th birthday at this library-themed paint & sip. We will bring the art supplies and some beverages to sip on (you may also bring your own if preferred), set the mood with a little music ... then you get to relax and paint. We have both blank canvases and some pre-printed with a sketch of East Regional Library. We'd love to see your visual interpretations of what the library means to you!

We hope to create a gallery wall to display donated library paintings to become a lasting monument to our beloved library!

(Teens & Adults are welcome to paint)
