Calling all paint & sip lovers! The Community Arts Council of the Alberni Valley has teamed up with Portal Players Dramatic Society to offer this unique “paint night” style fundraiser on Thursday, April 10th. Setup on stage at the Capitol Theatre (don’t worry, you won’t be asked to perform), participants will paint an image of a winding arbutus tree at Sproat Lake, hosted and taught by local artists.

Ticket sales will support the local arts council, and concession sales will benefit Portal Players. We’ll have a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, including our signature ‘Paint Water’ cocktail/mocktail. Yes, this time you can actually drink the paint water!

This paint night is a part of a suite of art-making services hosted by the arts council, from our “paint night” special events, in-house craft nights, and creative birthday parties. If you’re a fan of paint nights, we’re available for hire to help you host your own event. The best part? You will be supporting local artists from Port Alberni, the arts council, and Portal Players Dramatic Society. The Capitol Theatre doors will open at 5:40 PM, and painting will begin promptly at 6:00 PM.

This is a 19+ event with tickets available online at $40/person. To purchase, visit alberniarts.com/playhouse-paint-night or call the arts council at (250) 724-3412, or email info@alberniarts.com. We all look forward to seeing you at this fun and creative night!
