Becky Winter from “I Heart Canvas” will lead participants step by step in creating a 16” x 20” wrapped canvas painting.

“My goal is to inspire creativity,” said Winter.  “Beginners are always welcome and I believe that anyone – if they are willing to try – can create a beautiful painting.”

The United Way Paint Night will be held Nov. 28, 2017 at the Wisconsin Rapids Elk’s Lodge starting at 6:00 p.m. Cost is $40 per person, and includes one drink of choice (food available for purchase).

There are only 30 spots total and seats are filling up fast. The United Way asks participants to register and pay prior to Nov. 28.

The Wisconsin Rapids Elk’s Lodge is located at 430 W. Jackson Street, Wisconsin Rapids.  The event should last approximately 2-3 hours.  For more information, contact the United Way office at 715-421-0390.
