ArtsWestchester Third Thursdays Gallery Night Out

ArtsWestchester’s Gallery Nite Out is back with a new Paint ‘n’ Sip series! Each third Thursday from February through April, a teaching artist will lead guests through a painting project that they can take home with them. For February, try your hand at a romantic landscape, while March and April will be all about celebrating the change of seasons. Let this new kind of happy hour in downtown White Plains help you to release your inner artist!

Gallery Nite Out at ArtsWestchester’s historic landmark gallery is the perfect opportunity to keep your 2024 resolution for more friend outings, to have a no-pressure date night, or to network with fellow arts lovers. Guests will explore all forms of creative expression through interactive arts experiences – from music to dance and painting to fashion. Come for the art, stay for the fun!

In this Paint ‘n’ Sip series, enjoy an evening of painting, taught by a professional artist, while enjoying complimentary light bites, a glass of wine and soft drinks.

Age will be verified at the door.

Maxine is also the founder and former principal of a successful, award-winning, visual arts high school in NYC that she created with a Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation grant.

After serving as an arts educator and public advocate for art education for 32 years, Maxine is finally able to return to her roots of creating art and conducting art workshops for people of all ages!
