Craft Paint Night
If you’re looking to add some creativity to your schedule, bring your friends with you to The Leonardo. Once a month, we host an exciting paint night where you can snack on small bites from the Salt Bistro, order your favorite drink, and paint!
Each class focuses on a different subject matter, and participants will follow along with a skilled art instructor as they show you how to craft your version of a famous painting. Then, take home your masterpiece for a long-lasting memory!
