The Evans Library hosts an Acrylic Painting Workshop today, Friday, October 9, 2026, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at 7022 Evans Town Center Blvd., Evans, GA 30809. Per the Columbia County calendar, it's a 2.5-hour workshop where you can discover a fun new hobby—supplies are provided, space is limited, and registration is required.
If you've been wanting to try painting without buying a whole art kit first, this is an easy Friday morning to give it a shot.
What Is the Acrylic Painting Workshop?
According to the official event listing, this is a 2.5-hour painting workshop at the Evans Library. The county describes it as a chance to "discover a fun new hobby," and notes that supplies will be provided. It's framed as a workshop rather than a drop-in open studio, so expect guided time at the easel (or table) rather than a free-form craft night.

Cost and Registration
The listing marks the cost field as Registration Required. Space is limited, so call 706-863-1946 ext. 4 to register. Registration opened Friday, September 18. The listing doesn't spell out a dollar amount, so ask about any fee when you call. (Unconfirmed: workshop fee amount—confirm with the library.)
Who It's For
The listing doesn't give an age range or skill level. Because supplies are provided and the county pitches it as discovering a "fun new hobby," it's a natural fit for beginners—but call ext. 4 if you're bringing a child or you're an experienced painter wondering whether the session fits your level.
What to Expect
Based on the county's description, plan for about two and a half hours of painting with materials on hand. You shouldn't need to bring canvas, paint, or brushes unless the library tells you otherwise when you register.
The listing doesn't name the instructor or the subject you'll paint. (Unconfirmed: ask when you register what the project is and whether finished pieces go home wet.)
Tips for Your First Visit
- Register before you go. Space is limited; calling ext. 4 is the path the county lists.
- Wear clothes you don't mind getting paint on, or bring an apron. Acrylic washes out of some fabrics, but not all.
- Arrive a few minutes early so you can check in and settle at a workspace.
- Make a morning of it. The Evans Library page notes a lobby cafe for drinks and snacks, plus an adjoining park with playgrounds, a pond, and a walking trail.
