The poster gives you most of the details. What I can tell you from past experience is that its a FUN night of creating art AND getting loosey goosey with a cocktail or two in the process. Size of the class is limited so you need to sign up early to do it.
The first class is being taught by Elizabeth Butterfield who is the featured artist at the Monrovia Association of Fine Art's Celebrate the Arts. She does amazing work in mixed media - fabric, paper, what have you torn into tiny bits and reassembled into a "painting" that is nothing short of stunning.
Maybe we should get a group and commandeer the event for us? Its not free, but worth the admission.
