THIS HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL FALL 2025
Thursdays 2:00 PM
Art therapy at BCN is an engaging activity where time flies and unknown talent is discovered.
Meeting from 2-4 pm on Thursdays.
No previous painting experience, ability to draw, or artistic talent is needed. BCN provides all materials you will need.
You choose what and how you want to paint, and before you know it, you no longer need any guidance from the teacher, but I am always happy to help.
Everyone is able to create beautiful art and have an enjoyable experience at our painting class.
Come and give it a try and find out why our members often say at the end of class, ‘it can’t be 2 hours already, it feels like we just got here’, or ‘how wonderful, 2 hours without a single worry’.
For more information, contact Linda Dugan at iluvtopaint@hotmail.com or 716-634-8866
