I never received a response back (other than an admin assistant saying a response from the director will come soon.) I posted the full email here, which details how shoddy this was run. Check it out if you want to hear how the instructer never came prepared, how we couldn't use the materials we paid for, or the fact that there was not even a space *in their own building* for us to meet because they kept overbooking rooms. What's more though, I think, is knowing this is how The South Shore Arts center operates and the fact that they don't care enough to address it even when emailed with the explicit details. They already had my $150, so what did they care.

I happened to stumble upon the Homewood's Paint Your Pet event and was SO happy I did! Since the…read moreeven was tailored to our pets, we had to submit photos prior and the outlines were set for us. My friend and I could request to sit next to each other when we purchased our seats. The prices were more than fair for the amount of work the instructors put in for this event! There was also another paint and sip party in the backroom, the place is larger than you expect looking from the outside. The location is easily accessible and had ample room for a party in the back while we painted our pets out front. Lisa and the other instructor (we only caught one of the instructor's names) were incredibly patient. As someone who isn't very talented in the art department, I didn't feel shamed when I had questions or ran into a problem that I couldn't fix. The two hours flew by and there were many laughs and smiles had by all. It's a really well kept area and I would definitely come back here for another event.

It is a bright and cheery location with plenty of room to roam. There are actually 2 paint rooms, one larger than the other. Both are decorated in a colorful and whimsical way! As far as food and drinks are concerned, this is a BYOB and bring your own food location, but they supply the plates, napkins, cups, and ice. Our instructor was fun and upbeat, making most anyone feel comfortable to attempt putting paint into canvas! In my group were people who had never done a paint and sip before, but their artwork still turned out beautifully.
