Not Your Average Paint & Sip at the Pendleton Art Center (1310 Pendleton Street, Suite 400 A, Cincinnati, OH 45202) is generously hosting a class 6:30-9 p.m. Thursday, April 17, at James Reynolds' candlelit studio where the artist will work individually with the evening's students to help you create your own personal interpretation of a chosen piece of art while enjoying beverages from a fully-stocked bar. 100 percent of proceeds benefit Transform Cincy (through its fiscal sponsor, Community Shares of Greater Cincinnati, our region's federation of social justice charities).

The $75 registration fee provides you the instruction, supplies, canvas, and drinks. The class is limited to just 18participants to preserve its intimacy. Come sip the night away and create your own art.

James Reynolds is a Cincinnati based artist and educator with over 21 years of experience.

With a B.A. in art education as well as M.A. hours completed in special education and many years in hospitality, your art and education needs will be handled by a trained professional who will offer a well rounded experience. James cultivates an art-making experience that mirrors the way artists make art instead of the “follow me” approach to encourage complete creative freedom.

The studio classroom is located at the Pendleton Art Center in Over-the-Rhine where private and group classes are held. The classroom is open to the public on “Final Friday” 5pm-9pm on the last Friday of each month, and by appointment 7 days a week.

The complimentary bar is stocked with locally purchased wine as well as locally sourced non-alcoholic beers on rotation. So, if you love what your drinking while creating your artwork, you can stop by one of our local partners to pick up more!

Transform Cincy provides free clothing to transitioning trans and gender non-conforming youth and young adults as well as support groups and weekly activities for adult and youth members of our local LGBTQIA+ community. Community Shares of Greater Cincinnati is the tri-state region's federation of charities serving the fields of social and economic justice, environmental sustainability, and animal welfare. We provide our member charities with training on nonprofit excellence, networking opportunities for collaborative work, fundraising through our annual regional workplace federated campaign, and mentorship/incubation through our fiscal sponsorship program.
