Paint & Sip at Pallet

Paint & Sip at Pallet

Warm up your winter nights at Pallet Brewery in Maplewood! Pallet’s pouring the sips, Wheelhouse is crafting gorgeous fruit-forward centerpieces, and together they’ll set the stage for our still-life painting session.

All paint supplies are included (feel free to bring your favorites if you have them!), and you’ll head home with a finished piece of art you’ll actually want to hang up.

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill paint & sip—expect a relaxed, creative night out with great drinks, good company, delicious snacks, and a chance to support several beloved local small businesses.

It also makes an excellent Christmas gift—an experience to look forward to when the cold weather hits. Give it to a friend, or treat yourself to a night out of the house this winter!
