Progressive Painting Party @ RAH studio

Create a masterpiece with a little help from your friends at our community-building progressive painting party.
Each person will go home with a personalized painting touched by the hands of fellow participants!

Here’s how it works:
- Everyone starts with their own blank canvas.
- After a set time, each painting is passed on to another participant.
- Each person adds their creativity to every canvas.

By the end, everyone will have a unique, lovingly created piece of art to take home, reflecting the collective creativity of the group. Space is limited!

This class is instructed by local artist RAH.
Create, connect, and have fun in Point Richmond!

July 20 | 1:30-3:30 p.m ($45 - all materials are included)
RAH Studio, 217 W Richmond, Studio C (behind Cerda Tattoo Studio).
