Tickets are $35 to participate in the painting activity led by instructors from Kelly Jo Design by Wine.

Space for the painting class is limited to 50 participants.

Graft Gallery is partnering with the Museum to provide drawing activities within the exhibit. They will be using items from the collection for inspiration. This portion of the evening is included with admission for the night.
Musical entertainment for the evening is provided by Andres Sedillo, DJ extraordinaire. The cash bar is provided by local entrepreneurs “Left Turn Distilling”.
“We’re excited about our Libations & Leonardo night,” NMMNHS Director Margie Marino said. “It’s a perfect way to end the work week with a little wine, and little music, and, for some, creating a work of art they can take home with them. We expect the painting class to sell out fast so folks should be prepared to reserve a space early.”
