Paint + Sound - Venice Beach

Join us on the beach for a calming, beginner-friendly acrylic painting workshop where artist Pat Conlon will guide participants step by step in creating a beautiful 8x10 acrylic landscape painting.

Then settle into the sand for a live sound bath with queer artist X. ARI, designed to help you relax, reset and soak in the ocean vibes as the afternoon winds down.

No prior skills or experience are necessary. Everything will be guided in a step by step process. All materials are provided. All ages welcome. This is a FREE event! Donations are appreciated.
