At 5pm, Birdbrain Duo returns for its second performance at TAG, featuring their inspiring rendition of Love Potion No. 9! Enjoy lemon drops by Victoria + non-alcoholic drinks, pizza, and nosh!

A casual paint-and-sip at TAG Gallery!

6:15 pm, after a brief pre-recorded demo, Wren Sarrow, Emily Wallerstein, and oil painting volunteers will help ticket holders create a custom-designed oil painting (3 pre-printed designs on canvas to choose from or go freestyle with a blank canvas). Two custom designs are based on Charles Demuth’s I Saw The Number 5 In Gold (The Met), an interpretation of Love Potion No. 9 by Wren Sarrow (inspired by Birdbrain’s style), or choose a surprise Valentine design including charming cartoon characters. Bring nothing but your paint-friendly clothes and shoes!

The pre-printed canvas designs are simplified to complete in 2 hours, and painters can pick up their completed oil painting from TAG’s Studio 03 in a week or have it shipped for $25.
