Prelude Paint Night: A Classical Music-inspired Art Experience

PRELUDE PAINT NIGHT: A CLASSICAL MUSIC ART EXPERIENCE

Tuesday, February 4, 2025 at 7 pm at The Dragonfly Art for Life Gallery & Studio

$40 a person

Join us for a unique and inspiring evening as we collaborate with The Dragonfly Art For Life Art Gallery & Studio to present Prelude Paint Night: a classical music-inspired art experience! Just as Disney animators drew inspiration from iconic classical pieces like Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite and The Sorcerer’s Apprentice to create the magical world of Fantasia, you’ll have the chance to let the music fuel your own artistic vision.

Before we start painting, artist Patrick Barr, resident artist of The Dragonfly Art for Life will talk about his experience as a Disney animator. We’ll then play selections from our concert and let your imagination go wild! Whether you're an experienced artist or a beginner, this event is sure to be a night of inspiration and fun!

Cost includes supplies & support from the artists of The Dragonfly Art for Life. Ticket to the concert is not required or included.
