About This Event
Join us for a SPECIAL AUDIOBOOK LOVERS PAINTING PARTY EXPERIENCE on Thursday, June 18th from 6:30-8:30 pm at Tipsy Paint in Glenview in celebration of Audiobook Month!
(BONUS: THE FIRST 10 ATTENDEES WILL GET A FREE AUDIOBOOK CREDIT FROM OUR AMAZING AUDIOBOOK PARTNER: LIBRO.FM!!!)
Local Book Lovers will gather to enjoy an hour-long "reading" adventure together while painting a book-inspired art project and sipping on some bevys (BYOB!) at Tipsy Paint in Glenview (1944 Lehigh Ave) from 6:30-7:30 PM, followed by an optional hour-long soirée in the studio after the event from 7:30-8:30 PM where readers have the opportunity to mix and mingle with other local Chicagoland book lovers to talk about what they're reading while finishing up their projects (or can continue listening to their audiobooks if they'd prefer)!
All attendees can choose to either listen to the audiobook New Book Joy will be playing for the group (BOOK TBD!) or enjoy their individual audiobooks of choice on their own portable devices. Though all audiobook platforms are permitted for the listening portion of our event, we encourage downloading the Libro.FM app (and selecting New Book Joy as your local bookstore) before the event so you're ready to receive your FREE AUDIOBOOK CREDIT.
BONUS: Guests will GET AN EXCLUSIVE DISCOUNT if they choose to shop our curated selection of books and reading pairings afterwards (talk about some good self-care)!
NOTE: A percentage of the proceeds for this event will directly support these amazing small businesses.
TICKETS are $55 & include:
