On a winter evening in downtown Monroe, Georgia, Paint pARTy with Jennifer • 12/11 turns the MWCA gallery lobby into a low-stakes studio where beginners and practiced hobbyists alike can slow down and make something meaningful. The class centers on a serene manger scene: a cradle of golden straw under a deep midnight-blue sky, tiny stars puncturing the dark, and the single bright Christmas star guiding the composition. Jennifer Dominy of Jennifer’s Art Studio, LLC guides the group step-by-step in acrylic techniques, mixing approachable instruction with room for personal choices.
This two-hour workshop (7:00–9:00 PM on December 11) is built for adults 21 and over and keeps the setup simple: all supplies are provided, seats are limited to ten people, and the atmosphere is social and unhurried. The class usually meets on the main gallery level after regular MWCA hours; arrive a few minutes early to pick your seat, and if doors are locked, ring the doorbell for entry. The space is mostly accessible and taught at table or easel height, so participants should be comfortable working seated and following basic directions for acrylic paint.
What makes this Paint pARTy special for Monroe is how it connects a hands-on creative night to the local arts ecosystem. Jennifer serves as MWCA Gallery Chair and brings regional exhibit experience and a teaching style focused on color, expression, and playful experimentation. The result is a small-group studio experience that feels both educational and festive—a chance to leave with a tangible holiday keepsake and a steady sense of accomplishment rather than a souvenir that still feels like a class exercise.
Practical tips: BYOB is allowed; you’re responsible for your beverages. Come dressed in clothes you don’t mind getting paint on, and expect to stand or sit as you prefer. The finished canvas will be unique to you even though everyone follows the same steps. Classes can shift with instructor availability, so confirm the date before you travel.
For travelers visiting Monroe, this is an easy, low-commitment evening activity that pairs well with dinner on the town and a stroll through the historic square. It’s a short, creative detour that highlights Monroe’s active arts community and gives visitors a handmade memento of their time in town. Spaces fill quickly around the holidays, so book early through the event link to guarantee a spot; small groups mean individual attention and room to experiment. Whether you come alone or with friends, expect clear demonstrations, hands-on help with brushwork and layering, and time to personalize color and detail. This Paint pARTy is less about perfection and more about making something you enjoy displaying or gifting, and it’s an approachable way to plug into Monroe’s creative scene year-round regularly.
