Come and paint with Artvana at The Juice Box Public House, a family-friendly community hotspot in Centralia!
All skill levels are welcome. Your Artvana artist coach will guide you through each step of the painting and help you tap into your inner creativity. We’ll be painting the ‘Orange Blossoms’ artwork, so you’ll leave with your own original painting on canvas to bring home!
The Juice Box offers: CRAFT BEER, FUSION FOOD, INDIE MUSIC, LOCAL WINES, and MICRO SPIRITS in their warm, inviting atmosphere.
Drinks are not included. You must be 21+ to consume alcohol, though this is an all-ages brewery and class (Recommended for ages 12+ for painting).
Come relax, paint with us, and discover how creativity (and beer) can help you unwind and reduce stress this weekend.
Seating is limited, and pre-registration is required. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at info@artvana.life.
What does it mean to be an engaged American in today’s divisive political landscape? How can we unite to restore hope, revive democracy, and foster a sense of belonging within a connected community? Join us for an inspiring evening with Eric Liu, CEO of Citizen University, as we explore what it means to cultivate belonging, civic engagement, and shared responsibility in a divided world.
Drawing from his books, You’re More Powerful Than You Think and Become America, Liu will challenge us to reclaim our collective power, rehumanize our politics, and move from isolation to community. Through thought-provoking insights and actionable ideas, this conversation will ignite hope and equip us with the tools to strengthen our civic muscle and build a more connected and engaged community.
