Grab your spouse, a date, or a friend, or paint solo at the latest Corks & Canvases Paint Party at the AMA! You can enjoy a glass of wine and snacks while you get step-by-step instructions on how to recreate a famous work of art.

"Starry Night" is a renowned masterpiece by the Dutch post-impressionist artist Vincent Van Gogh. Painted in 1889, it depicts a mesmerizing night sky over a small town with swirling, expressive patterns of stars. The painting is characterized by its vivid use of color, dynamic brushstrokes, and a sense of movement that reflects van Gogh's emotional state. The cypress tree in the foreground adds a vertical element to the composition, while the village below and the mountains in the distance contribute to the overall dreamlike atmosphere. "Starry Night" is celebrated for its unique blend of imagination and raw emotion, showcasing van Gogh's distinctive style and his ability to convey the beauty of the night sky in an emotionally charged manner.
