No matter if you were a twist and shout teenager of the 50’s, loved those mellow tunes of the Boys from Britain, grooved to the beat of Bowie, or dreamed of your own Little Red Corvette while cruising to the sounds of Prince, you’ll find something fun and interesting about this twist on the old classic Art Uncorked classes. Pick one or come to all (pricing is per session).Want to have even more fun? Join others as they vie for class favorite by dressing “as you were” or might have been back in the day for the decade you’re revisiting on canvas. Weekly winners will receive a gift certificate for $20, good toward your next class. Grab your friends, family and come rock, rattle and roll at HAL!
Saturday classes start at 5:00 pm.

ART UNCORKED (Ages 21+):
If you haven’t tried an Art Uncorked class yet, ask your friends – they’ll tell you what you are missing! HAL offers this wildly popular concept to non-artists and artist alike. With our Art Uncorked series, you’ll complete a project in one evening and enjoy a fun, laid-back evening of creativity with wine and light snacks offered. Paint, sculpt, or complete your own project along with our artists, or pick your own variation to match your unique style. Join us for an open Art Un-corked session or let us arrange a private party for your group of ten or more. We also offer private parties for groups of five (5) or more – where you work with the artists to pick the painting or project – and enjoy the fun and enjoyment of a private session with our professional artists.
