Glam Pumpkin Night: Halloween Paint, Decorate & Sip in San Francisco

Glam Pumpkin Night: Halloween Paint, Decorate & Sip in San Francisco

Sun, Oct 25, 10:00 PM
From Feel. Create. Connect. SF — by TBArt Studio.

**GLAM PUMPKIN NIGHT** is happening this Sunday, October 25, at Bar & Bean Fusion! **We've introduced special pricing:** $75 per person or $140 for two. **Halloween, but make it glam. ✨🎃** Spend your Sunday afternoon in San Francisco with wine, beautiful food, good company and a little creative escape. GLAM PUMPKIN NIGHT is a stylish Halloween-weekend experience at Bar & Bean Fusion where we’ll paint and decorate beautiful pumpkins with pearls, rhinestones, metallic details and acrylic paint. Come with your friends, make it a creative date — or come on your own. You absolutely don’t need to know anyone before you arrive, and you don’t need any painting experience. This isn’t a traditional painting class and it definitely isn’t a kids’ pumpkin craft. Think more: a beautiful Sunday afternoon, a glass of wine, music, conversation, creativity and a glam pumpkin you’ll actually want to display at home. **WHAT’S INCLUDED** 🎃 Artificial pumpkin to decorate and take home 🎨 Acrylic paint + all art and décor materials 💎 Pearls, rhinestones, metallic and decorative elements 🥂 One glass of wine 🧀 Cheese, fruit & small snacks ✨ 3-hour guided creative experience 📸 Halloween photo zone Choose your own look — dramatic black, elegant cream, classic orange, or create something completely your own. **WHO IS IT FOR?** Anyone who loves creative experiences, Halloween, home décor, beautiful spaces, wine and trying something a little different. Come with girlfriends, friends, your partner, or come solo. Solo guests are very welcome — Meetup is actually a perfect place to discover an experience like this when you don’t already have someone to go with. No artistic experience is required. I’ll guide you through the process while still giving you plenty of freedom to make your pumpkin your own. LGBTQ+ welcoming. 🧡 **SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25** **3:00–6:00 PM** 📍 Bar & Bean Fusion 1 Polk St San Francisco, CA 94102 Hosted by **Tetiana / TBArt Studio × Bar & Bean Fusion** **TICKETS** Early Bird — $85 Standard — $95 Couple Ticket — $171 for two ⚠️ **Your Meetup RSVP does not purchase your ticket.** Space is limited and your spot is confirmed only after purchasing your ticket through Eventbrite. 🎟️ **GET YOUR TICKET:** [GLAM PUMPKIN NIGHT — Eventbrite Tickets](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/glam-pumpkin-night-tickets-2002894191443?aff=Meetup&utm_source=chatgpt.com) See you for a little Halloween glam. ✨🎃🥂

Second Sunday: Writing & Weeding

Second Sunday: Writing & Weeding

Sun, Nov 8, 8:00 PM
From Art in the Garden at Hayes Valley Art Works
4.4

Join us Sundays for Writing & Weeding! Join us for Writing & Weeding! We've all had times when we just can't seem to figure out how to the words out. Sitting with other writers in the garden really helps break writer's block. In our unique garden setting, you can also literally weed out your thoughts by taking some time to pull weeds in a community garden. Getting our hands in the dirt can sometimes inspire creative flow. (Note, we recommend you bring your own gardening gloves.) We are at the gallery and garden at Hayes Valley Art Works - 295 Oak Street at Octavia - writing and pulling some actual weeds! We usually meet at the tables by the gate at Lily / Octavia. In damp weather, we may meet in the gallery in the converted shipping container with the red and black mural 295 Oak Street corner of Octavia. I Please note, we do not have heat in the gallery and run on solar power, so bring your laptop charged and dress appropriately for the weather! Writers are welcome to sit in either south or north garden, or the gallery, both are between Page and Oak on the east side of Octavia. We suggest bringing any devices fully charged as we don't have outlets or a restroom. We recommend stoppping at Mercury Cafe across the street at Page and Octavia - they have a restroom and great food and drinks we recommend stopping in there on your way over for a beverage and use the facilities if needed. If possible, or in bad weather, we will also open our Zoom meeting but this is not always an option due to internet access at the garden. Zoom https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84912436792?pwd=R0FOq4fHuBXaaz0zdoTVbiiSbCUtY8.1 Meeting ID: 849 1243 6792 Passcode: 94102 Theme is open. Poetry, prose, fiction, non-fiction. Bring your own project to work on, or use the suggested themes and writing prompts announced at each meeting. Writers are free to share from their writing or not, as they wish. Introductions at 12:00. 12:05-12:45 writing/weeding time 12:45-1:00 discussion, weeding time, share writing if inspired share how the session went, stay on if you wish to discuss, share, or continue writing or help pull weeds!
