The Kenosha Public Museum is rolling out a festive, adult‑focused art night on Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2026. From 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., the museum’s 5500 First Avenue location will host a “Winter Wonderland Paint‑and‑Sip” where guests can learn to paint a snowy scene on a sturdy wood panel while sipping cocktails, including mimosas.
Guided instruction for all skill levels
Local artist Tiffany Knopow will lead the class, walking participants through each step of the painting process. The session is designed for beginners; no prior experience is required. Attendees will learn basic brush techniques, color blending, and composition tips, then leave with a finished winter landscape they painted themselves.
Ticket pricing and registration
Tickets cost $40 for museum members and $50 for non‑members. Registration is required and can be completed online through the museum’s website. Because supplies are limited, online sales close two days before the event. Those who miss the deadline should call the museum at 262‑653‑4140 to inquire about remaining spots.
Alcohol policy and responsible drinking
Mimosas are included in the price, but guests must be 21 years of age or older to consume alcohol. The museum asks participants to drink responsibly and reminds everyone that the event is intended as a safe, enjoyable evening.
Gift potential
The finished artwork makes a ready‑made holiday gift, and the event itself can be purchased as a present for friends or family. Each participant paints their own panel, ensuring every piece is unique.
