Arts in the Open sponsored the Sip & Paint events, according to Davis. is was the rst Denver-area event, and more are planned.

Abreu said that the event was going well. e painters were lling their canvases with color, and many expressed relief at seeing the canvas.

“People are a little nervous because it’s architecture,” Abreu said.

“I was a little nervous about the architecture as well. But I pre-sketched everything on the canvas for them, so it’s more of a paint-by-section instead of ‘I’m painting a building.’”

A con dent “Wooo!” rang out and the party continued.
