The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders is pleased to announce that the next History Paint Night Social event will be held on Tuesday, March 26, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the historic Shady Rest Clubhouse at Scotch Hills Country Club, 820 Jerusalem Road in Scotch Plains.

The program is funded in part by a grant from the New Jersey Historical Commission, a Division of Cultural Affairs in the Department of State.

Participants will be provided with painting materials, and artistic instruction on a historical scene from the Union County area. Individuals and groups are invited to attend. No experience is necessary.

“We introduced History Paint Night Social as way for beginners and practiced artists alike to enjoy learning about Union County history in a relaxed, creative setting,” said Freeholder Chair Kowalski. “The response was very enthusiastic and we are happy to bring it back this year.”

The instructor for History Paint Night Social will be Elizabeth-based artist Dario Solis.

Pre-registration is encouraged due to limited space. The fee of $10.00 includes all materials. Participants may bring wine and snacks for their enjoyment.
