Take a well-deserved break after your first midterms and join fellow new international students for a relaxing and creative paint-and-food experience. This guided, hands-on activity offers the perfect opportunity to unwind, connect with peers, and express your artistic side.

Led by a professional art educator, participants will create their own version of a featured painting while receiving step-by-step guidance throughout the session. No prior painting experience is needed, just enjoy the process!

As you paint, savor complimentary refreshments inspired by the region represented in the artwork, including themed snacks and beverages.

Come for the creativity, stay for the community, and leave with a masterpiece of your own. Registration is required. More event details, including timings and registration link, will be shared soon.
