Fall out of format with this extra special version of 'The Bean!'
Facing Forward’s Associate Board cordially invites you to attend our Paint & Sip Spring fundraiser at Pinot's Palette! When you purchase a ticket and join us for this Tuesday evening event, you'll be painting with a purpose. 50% of your ticket price goes towards Facing Forward's mission to help families and individuals in Chicago break the cycle of homelessness through home, help and hope. With your support, Facing Forward can continue to provide the connections to housing, individualized case management, and essential resources necessary to build a brighter future!

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT INFORMATION: ALSO SEE CANCELLATION POLICY BELOW
We encourage our guests to arrive 30 minutes before the start time of the paint party to allow time to grab a beverage, get ready to paint, and settle in at your table. Our paint parties begin at the scheduled start time. It's MUCH MORE FUN when we start together. Very difficult to catch up late parties.
Paint, drink & have fun with us at Pinot's Palette Logan Square! At our sip and paint parties, guests enjoy a 'no art experience required' paint party & all art supplies are included! You'll be led by our talented local artists who will guide you step-by-step to create the featured painting.
Our paint events are more party than art class. Though our artists will guide you to create the featured painting, this is your masterpiece! You can follow along as much, or as little, as you’d like. Feel free to choose a different color from our paint cart, add in your own detail or paint another image entirely. We encourage creativity!
The more the merrier, INVITE YOUR FRIENDS! We paint, drink and have fun!
We are located at 2768 N. Milwaukee Ave, a half-block south of Diversey Avenue and steps from the Blue Line Logan Square L stop (exit towards Spaulding). Coming from the north or south? We're a mile west of I-94 (exit at California from the north, Diversey Ave from the south). Street parking is available all along Milwaukee, Diversey, and Kimball Avenues. Most street parking is $2/hr (tip: the Park Chicago app makes paying for parking a breeze). Street parking is free on Sundays.
CANCELLATION POLICY: Due to the custom nature of our parties and classes, Refunds are not issued for reservation cancellations. Should you need to reschedule your reservation and provide at least 24-hour notice, your reservation will be transferred to a studio credit that can be used only for a future paint party reservation at our Logan Square studio. Please email us at logansquare@pinotspalette.com if you need to cancel. If you 'no-show' for a party or class that you have a spot reserved, or do not give at least 24 hours cancellation notice, you forfeit your reservation payment. By completing the check-out process you agree to this policy.

-

30 minutes before scheduled start time. Class MUST start at scheduled time to be fair to all who are attending. Please arrive 30 minutes before class starts to allow time to get settled in, grab a drink from our bar and mingle before the painting starts.

-
Is there an age limit for your regular public classes?
We welcome families and children ages 6 years and above for any of our daytime paint parties. While our evening classes that begin after 5 pm are structured for adults, we do allow guests aged 13 – 17 to participate if they are accompanied by an adult. All guests must be at least 21 years of age to purchase or consume alcohol.
-
What should I wear to paint?
No dress code here...dress casual or dress up! We provide all guests with an apron, but painters have been known to get involved in their work of art. Should any acrylic paint get on your clothes, it can typically be washed out within 60 seconds. If allowed to set longer, the paint may be permanent.
-
I don’t have any artistic talent? Will I be able to complete the painting?
Absolutely! Our paint parties are intended for beginners, but are also fun for more seasoned artists. Our artist will guide you step-by-step through the featured painting. You can follow along as much, or as little, as you’d like. Feel free to choose a different color from our paint cart, add in your own detail or paint another image entirely. We encourage creativity and there are no mistakes! Acrylic paint dries quickly, so making changes or perfecting your painting is easy to do.
