Art Unleashed - A Special Edition of Art Uncorked
By popular demand, we are featuring a special edition of Art Uncorked that will allow you to create your own pet's image during "Art Unleashed". Artists Linda Kegley and Megan Ekenstadt will lead the class through a painting of their best furry (or scaly?) friend on June 24 at 6pm. Participants are asked to submit a good quality photo of their pet, which will then be pre-sketched on canvas by the artists for painting during the class.

New Classes Added to Art Uncorked!
If you haven't tried an Art Uncorked class yet, ask your friends - they'll tell you what you are missing! HAL is excited to offer a new concept to non-artists (but artists are welcome also) with our Art Uncorked series. You'll complete a project in one evening, led by a professional artist, and enjoy a fun, laid-back evening of creativity with wine and light snacks offered.
