About this Event

Have you ever tried channeling your inner Vincent van Gough to no avail? Maybe your palette is too dry! The City of San José Department of Parks, Recreation & Neighborhood Services will be hosting a Painting in the Park series! The first fifty (50) "Picassos" to reserve a seat will be supplied an artist station, including an easel, paintbrush set, acrylic paint, and one (1) free canvas to take home with you! This Paint the CitySJ event will be a theme night focused on Furry Friends Art, where participants can celebrate their beloved pets by creating vibrant, fun, and heartfelt artwork featuring their furry companions.

To better serve our community this season our Paint Nights will be more accessible and community focused. We invite all residents living within the council district zip code of the event to join us.
