 What makes for excellence in heart care? It starts with one of the most amazing teams of heart surgeons and cardiologists that I've seen assembled under one roof and the region's leading technology in a new $40 million facility. This is the nationally recognized Heart and Vascular Institute of Eastern Kentucky at Pikeville Medical Center. Do you like painting? The Appalachian Center for the Arts is hosting a Canvas and Cocktails class that you do not wanna miss. Canvas and Cocktails is a class that we're trying to do monthly and it is just an art class taught by local artists of all different kinds. We have some who work with acrylics, some who work with oils, even in working on a cookie decorator, all art forms coming and teaching class to our community. The class is open to those 12 and up and all art supplies will be provided. While painting, you will be offered cocktails, mocktails, and appetizers. Well, in my classes, I don't really push, I do have a stencil, but I don't really push to be perfectionist. Most of my classes, I like to see everybody's painting come out a little bit different. So I don't really say, hey, you gotta use this color. It's whatever color you wanna use. Pretty much I try to push for them to be individuals in their own self so that they can see that, just because it may not turn out the way that they see mine, it's still beautiful in its own right. Salyer will leave the class and painting a spring bouquet on February 25th at 6 p.m. at the Appalachian Center for the Arts. For more information, visit theapparts.org.
