🖌🎨New class: evening acrylic class with Anthony Best 🖌🎨

Elevate your artistic skill set with our evening acrylic painting class with seasoned instructor Anthony Best.

In this class, you will learn how to use acrylic paint and apply your skills to accurately depict subjects. Anthony will introduce you to using light and shadow to create dimension to your piece. With the grid and four step method of painting, you will leave this class with the necessary skill set to capture any landscape, subject, or shape.

Anthony encourages all skill levels to try out his class. In his words, his goal is to “Produce a new generation of artists and teachers by unlocking the creative spirit in each student.”

John Lennon wasn’t just a musician; he was a revolutionary icon whose voice defined a generation and continues to echo through ours. As a founding member, principal songwriter, and witty provocateur of The Beatles, he helped create the soundtrack of the 20th century.

But his story didn’t end with the Fab Four. His solo career was a brave, brilliant, and often brutally honest exploration of peace, love, and personal truth. Lennon gave the world songs of profound hope and piercing introspection.

His unapologetic quest for peace (often from the comfort of a bed) and his searing social commentary made him a timeless figure of controversy and inspiration. Join us to celebrate the music, the message, and the defiant spirit of the man who dared us all to imagine a better world.

Join us as we welcome back The Maverick Lounge Series for an evening all about the legendary John Lennon!
