Ethos Celebration of the Arts Festival at RFD Event Center – Paint and Sip
Join Wine & Canvas for a special evening of creativity during the Ethos Celebration of the Arts Festival in Downtown Franklin! 🖌️
Inspired by the beauty and history of Franklin’s iconic courthouse square, guests will create a charming courthouse painting on an 11×14 canvas while enjoying an evening of art, music, and community.
Prefer to paint something different? Guests are also welcome to create their own artwork on a blank canvas. Whether you choose to follow along with the featured courthouse painting or let your creativity lead the way, our artists will be there to provide guidance and encouragement throughout the event.
Whether you’re an experienced painter or picking up a brush for the first time, our talented artist will guide you step-by-step through the entire painting. No experience is necessary—just come ready to relax, create, and have fun! All ages are welcome to join us! Please do not leave children unaccompanied.
