This event is the third of six unique, stand-alone sessions that the museum will offer this year. Painters use a slate tile sourced directly from the Slate Valley as their canvas and paint their own artworks with step-by-steps guidance and encouragement from art teacher Darcie Parrott. For this workshop, attendees will paint a patriotic image, an American flag painted in the night sky behind the dark, silhouetted wood line.

Pre-registration for Sip & Paint on Slate is required. Tickets are $40 per person and include all art materials, one beverage ticket, and a selection of delicious, locally and regionally sourced snacks or finger foods. This month's event will feature foods donated by Consider Bardwell Farm, B&G Foods, Vermont Creamery, Argyle Cheese Farmer, BJ’s Warehouse, Lactalis American Group/President Cheese, Hannaford of Hudson Falls, Nuns of New Skete, and Walmart.  A variety of alcoholic drink options have been donated by Adirondack Winery, Empire Winery, Slyboro Cider House, Slate Town Brewery, and The Liquor Stop. A selection of non-alcoholic options will also be available. Anyone planning to consume alcoholic beverages should come prepared to show a valid ID.  

Space is limited. Those interested in registering should contact Museum Associate Wendy Bordwell at 518-642-1417 or associate@slatevalleymuseum.org.
