📍 Longmont Museum | ⏰ Thursday, Feb. 26 · 4–6 PM or 6:30–8:30 PM | 🎟️ Registration required
Part of Thursday Nights @ the Museum, this hands-on class invites you to grab a drink and design bold, impactful protest posters that reflect your values and passions. Instructor Julie Benoit will guide you through crafting a clear message and using lettering techniques that make your words pop — whether you’re a total beginner or already the artsy friend in the group chat.
Beer, wine, non-alcoholic drinks, and snacks will be available for purchase — because creative expression pairs nicely with a local pour. Expect thoughtful vibes, strong typography, and maybe even a sign you’ll want to carry beyond Quail Road.
Two sessions mean you can swing by after work or make it your full Thursday evening plan.
