This summer, splash into an underwater world of art during Paint Nights Under the Sea at the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores.
Bring your family, bring your friends, or bring yourself to make fin-tastic memories during this relaxing night of creating artwork. Instructors from Wine and Design on Wheels from Morehead City will provide all the painting supplies and guide participants every step of the way.
Each paint night will be held 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. and offers a different painting opportunity. June 27 paint colorful sea stars, July 17 paint a happy shark. These two events are Family Paint Nights and participants can bring their favorite snacks and nonalcoholic beverages to enjoy while they paint. On August 14 we’ll host our 21+ Sip and Paint event. Paint a classy sea turtle and participants can bring their favorite snacks and beer, wine, or champagne to enjoy during the event. Choose one or choose all three!
There are a limited number of seats, so reserve your seat under the sea and leave with your own unique treasure.
Paint Nights are $50 per painter. Family Paint Night is appropriate for ages 6 and up. Sip and Paint night is for ages 21 and up. Painters should arrive 15 minutes early to check in and get seated.
Reserve your spot online before the event. No ticket sales at the door. Aprons will be supplied to each person; but wear comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting dirty.
