Edgar Degas once said "Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do."

At the Degas House, we are in no position to argue with the French Impressionist Master. In celebration of the soothing and blissful nature of amateur painting, the Degas House proudly presents our newest program: "Bottles and Brushes with Degas". Held within the same walls where Degas painted some of the world's most adored masterpieces, this painting and pouring experience is a rare opportunity for artists and non-artists alike to come be inspired where Degas was inspired!

Roundup your friends, family, and, even, co-workers for this one of a kind experience, where each night we'll supply the paints, canvases, and brushes. We even provide one complimentary adult beverage. All you need to bring is a friend or two, a little creativity, and an enthusiastic attitude.

Don't consider yourself a natural artist? Not a problem. With local artist, Deana Lejarza, lending her expertise and energy, even reluctant artists will liberate their inner creativity at this relaxing, social and downright fun event!

Each two hour "Bottles and Brushes" event features a different painting, usually a Degas-inspired recreation or an iconic New Orleans image.

Each event will commence at 5:30 PM at the Degas House (2306 Esplanade Avenue), beginning with a social hour. Painting instruction will follow at 6:30 PM.

RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED. Please contact the Degas House at (504) 821-5009 to reserve your spot.
