PROTEA PAINT NIGHT 17 September

You don’t have to be an artist for this evening of creativity. You’re seated with your canvas, paint, and of course a drink at hand while your creative juices flow. All participants are guided, and by the end of the night, each of you get to take your creation home.

Where: Lilian Gray Fine Artist and Art School, Johannesburg
