PAINT CAN PRESS


• JANUARY 2025 •

Hello Neighbor, and Happy New Year!

We typically send our newsletter later in the month, but we decided we'll be double-dipping for January since the holiday rush got in the way of an end-of-year issue in December. Judging by the pace of things around the shop these past few weeks, it looks like folks have had a very creative beginning start to 2025! In an attempt to keep pace with your creative energy, our January calendar is Jam-uary'd with classes, and we're certain our lineup features something you'll enjoy.


We can't wait to see what you'll create next!

Calendar Glow-Up

The page previously titled Events Calendar on our website got a makeover and has been renamed Classes + Workshops. The offerings you'll find there have been reformatted to make it easier than ever to see what workshops are coming next, who from the local arts scene is offering their own classes in-shop, and discover free public programming hosted by community organizations!

New Monthly Meetup Added

Spring 2024, we kicked off Art Club: our free creative meetup on second 44Thursdays from 5–7pm.

Ever since our collage-themed Art Club meetup in June, we have fielded lots of requests to add a recurring collage-specific event.


When local collage artist Jennifer Davis offered to collaborate on this effort, we (definitely maintained composure and) gladly accepted!



To celebrate the first Collage Collective meetup, we're really cutting it up (sorry, had to 💀) with a pizza party! We hope you'll stop by for a slice (can't stop won't stop 💀💀), and consider joining us as meetups continue into the spring.


Collage Collective Kick-Off


  • Thursday, January 30
  • 5-7pm
  • Pizza while it lasts! (gf + vegan options incl 😘)



  • Subsequent Collage Collective meetups will also be held 5-7pm on the last Thursday of each month.
We're experimenting with a new look for Paint Can Press. What do you think?
