Happy pig subject of first 2016 ABAC museum art class

TIFTON — The Georgia Museum of Agriculture and Historic Village at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College will host its first “Bottles and Brushes” art class of the year 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday.

Organizers hope participants will look at their finished pieces and be as happy as the subject matter.

That’s because participants will be recreating the painting “Happy as a Pig” by Brenda Rose, a local artist and the “Bottles and Brushes” instructor.

“This whimsical painting will be a treat to create,” said Polly Huff, assistant director and curator at the Museum.

Rose will guide participants through the process of recreating her original work, while students create their own interpretation. Participants can bring their favorite beverage while enjoying an evening of creativity and fun.

The Gallery at the Museum will provide the paint, canvas and brushes.

Registration for the class is on a first-come, first-served basis upon payment of the fee. Space is limited and registration is required. Participants can contact Huff at (229) 391-5222 or email her at [email protected].

The class fee, $25 for an individual or $40 for a couple, is not refundable or transferable. The fee includes all supplies and instruction.

Gift certificates are available for future classes.
