250 Years of our Nation to Celebrate! How we arrived in the great northwest? Local family history by one of their descendants.
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 ‘Raining Stars’ 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.
