Some evenings are made to be remembered—Blooms, Bubbly, & Brushstrokes is one of them.
Join us at the Haan Museum of Indiana Art for a guided evening that blends art, inspiration, & a very good time. Glass of bubbly in hand, you’ll begin with a private tour of our celebrated sculpture garden—letting the shapes, colors, & spirit of the works spark your creative eye. Back in the studio, bubbly & bites keep the energy flowing as you design & arrange your own small floral bouquet, drawing on everything the garden stirred in you.
Then comes the canvas. With step-by-step guidance from our instructor, you’ll paint the flowers you’ve just arranged—no experience required, no pressure, just the pure joy of making something beautiful. You’ll leave with a painting to hang, a bouquet to take home, & an evening you won’t forget.
📅 Thursday, August 20🕠 5:30 – 8:00 PM📍 Haan Museum of Indiana Art🎟️ $45 per person — all supplies, bubbly, & bites included

Join Lilwen Jones in her creative course dedicated towards instructing on the techniques used to craft artistry from the prairies, creeks, and forests of the Midwest.
You’ll be taught how to spot and forage for your own earthen materials. How to start building your own wild-smithing toolkit. And most importantly, how to honor your unique artistic style in each handcrafted piece you take home. The curriculum will include sculpting beads made from flower petal clay, crafting charms from midwestern fossils and crystals, learning how to press and preserve local flora, and practicing the basic methods of “cold connection” copper-smithing.
This workshop is all about finding the beauty hidden within the earth around us and channeling that essence into wearable works of art. If you have a passion for nature and a desire to learn basic metalwork, then this is the creative course for you.
