What You'll Get
Art articulates the most complex subjects of the heart, portraying the passion of love, the horrors of war, and the despair of bowls of fruit. Express your inner pomegranate with today's Groupon: for $12, you get admission for one to a painting party at Create and Celebrate Studio on Georgetown Road in Cleveland (a $25 value).
A match for those with a creative bent, Create and Celebrate Studio paints a picture for would-be Whistlers looking for an unconventional evening out. Local artists lead aspiring aesthetes and budding bohemians through a two- to three-hour painting course, accompanied by customer-provided snacks and drinks—wine, juice, or other popular pressings are welcome. Bottle openers, cups, and aprons are provided, but brush-wielders should wear clothes they don't mind getting daubed with troposphere blue or avocado green. Choose from classes with tantalizing titles such as The Wild Side, Abstract Circles, and Little Black Dress to create your compliment-netting canvas. Registration is required to secure a seat, and patrons may choose from lessons listed on the schedule.
Guests are encouraged to arrive 15 minutes before the class to complete registration and properly apply their complimentary Salvador Dali moustaches.

About Create and Celebrate Studio
During her history of irrepressible creativity, Rhonda Wilkins has dabbled in fabric painting, woodcrafts, scrapbooking, stenciling, and more. She hoped to turn her passion into a career a decade ago by starting Fabulous Finishes, a decorative painting business, which eventually added a social concept: the painting party. Rhonda’s Create and Celebrate Studio now hosts easygoing classes that extend this variety of creative therapy to students of all ages and skill levels with step-by-step instruction. The focus of each session runs the gamut of art history, from serene Tuscan landscapes to iconic mustache graffiti. Groups of neophyte artists can also organize group and kid’s parties, which include materials, instruction, and time for cake and presents.
