About
Join us for a special evening in celebration of creativity and love! Paint your own personal Corazón Sagrado – a sacred heart symbolizing passion, resilience, and connection. Our professional art instructor, Mimi Doyo, will guide you every step of creating a beautiful artwork to take home. Get together with your best friend, lover, soulmate – or fly solo!
No experience? No problem! We welcome all skill levels. This class is about having fun and making memories, rather than producing a “perfect” painting. We encourage you to paint in a way that feels good for you!
This event is 21+
