art plus dinner in tampa bay?

Jennifer is looking for a place in Tampa Bay where she can create art and enjoy dinner all at the same time.  Somehow she stumbled across Sticks of Fire, and decided to Ask-a -Tampan!

Subject: I have a Question for Ask-a-Tampan.

Message:     Is there a place in Tampa or the surrounding area that one can have dinner and make art? There is a place in Panama City called How Great Your Art and was wondering if there was something similar.

I used to live in Clearwater, still have family there and come back often. I have been to the place in PC and had a really good time. I was looking for something similar to do with my friends when I come down to visit.

Well, I found the website for the place in Panama City – check it out at http://www.howgreatyourart.com/ Here’s the general idea:

Do you have artistic ability?  No?  GREAT!
Do you like to have fun?  Yes?
Experience something different!

Here’s how it works.  Look at the schedule to see locations, paintings, dates, and times.  Come for a painting only for $35.00 per person or dinner from the menu at Sweet Tease or Shades At The Loop, or catered dinner from Carpe Cuisine at our Lincoln Center location.  Call 850-215-4442 to reserve your experience.  Enjoy whatever beverage gets your juices flowing.  Relax and have fun!
Then, one of our talented artists will walk you, step by step,  through creating a unique painting.  You will be amazed at what you’ve created even if you have NO ARTISTIC ABILITY!

So – anyone know a place like this a bit closer than Panama City?
