TOGETHER WITH AIN’T A BETTER WAY TO PAINT

Looking for a fun way to tap into your creative side?

🎨 Ain’t a Better Way to Paint is one of Bozeman’s top paint and sip experiences, led by talented local artist, Grace Ihrke.

Whether you’re a pro artist, or someone who considers coloring inside the lines a personal victory (🙋), you’ll fit right in!

Grace brings all the supplies—you just bring yourself and a little creative spirit.

In just two hours, you’ll go from blank canvas to your own personal masterpiece, while enjoying a laid-back, social atmosphere.

Grace hosts paint parties all over town, with a different theme for each event, and has several paint and sips coming up this month.

Take a look at the event calendar on her website, and get some tickets for an upcoming paint party (they sell out quick!)
