It’s possible there’s a last-minute place still available for the Friday, October 1 “Paint and Sip” at the Andover Community Hub but if not, interested residents are urged to sign up early for the next opportunity on Friday, November 5, from 6:30 to 8:30 PM.  

Sociable and fun evenings under the guidance of Andover artist Molly Leith, “Paint and Sip” offers participants a chance to unwind on a Friday evening with a glass of wine and a paintbrush and to give one’s creative side free rein, using a well-known work of art for inspiration. 

Molly, who teaches in the Art Department at Proctor Academy, will guide participants through beginners’ concepts in color theory and composition, and encourage individual expression and exploration.  Each participant produces his or her own piece of “fun art” and will learn a bit in the process. 

The fee of $25 includes wine, soda, snacks, and art supplies.  Space is limited, and advance registration and payment is required at TheAndoverHub@nullgmail.com.  Checks can be made payable to The Andover Hub and mailed to PO Box 157, Andover NH 03216, or dropped through the mail slot by the Hub’s front door.
