Whether\u00a0you’re\u00a0coming in\u00a0to spend time with family…or to avoid family (let’s be real), looking to decorate the house with our festive paintings, or to just enjoy a fun night out, we\u00a0are\u00a0so thankful you choose to un-wine with us during this busy season. Scroll down to read about celeb sightings,\u00a0upcoming\u00a0studios,\u00a0and a recipe to one of our favorite holiday cocktails; Christmas Sangria!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebs Getting Their Art Buzz On<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pitching the Perfect Proposal<\/strong><\/p>\n

He put a ring on it! Congrats to\u00a0Boston Red Sox player\u00a0Trevor Kelley and his fianc\u00e9. Most men ask over dinner, but Kelley took the creative route and asked his gal by writing “Marry Me?” on his canvas one evening at our\u00a0Wilmington location<\/a>! How adorable is that? 10+ points for originality and another 10+ for nailing our Christmas Martini painting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Double Threat<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your girl can sing\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0paint. American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino brought the whole gang with her to create some festive paintings at our\u00a0Charlotte studio<\/a>! Why build a snowman when you can paint one?<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
