Family Paint Night

Splash into an underwater world of art during Painting Under the Sea at N.C. Aquarium in Pine Knoll Shores. You'll make fin-tastic memories during this relaxing night of creating artwork. Instructors from Wine and Design on Wheels from Morehead City will provide all painting supplies and guide you every step of the way.  The only thing getting messy will be your paintbrush! There are a limited number of seats, so reserve your spot.
