LOCKPORT, IL — Local artists and crafters of all levels, including complete beginners, are invited to attend Paint Night at the ROXY at 6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 30, at 1017 S. State St. in Lockport.

The event allows guests to choose from one of two paintings that they can replicate and take home after following instructors’ step-by-step instructions while mingling with old or new friends. Guests may paint a feathery owl or a radiant sunflower.

The cost to attend the event is $30 per person and includes the materials necessary to complete the painting. A cash bar will be available. Proceeds benefit Trinity Services’ mission to help people with developmental disabilities and mental illness flourish and live full and abundant lives.

The event will take place in the newly renovated ROXY, which Trinity Services owns and operates as an event venue to generate revenue for its homes and programs, and to host events for the people it serves. Government funding alone cannot sustain a provider of developmental disability and behavioral health services in Illinois, so funds from the ROXY help bridge gaps to purchase necessities for people receiving services.

To view images of the two painting options and to register, visit www.trinity-services.org or call (815) 717-3750.
