“Today, painters do not have to go to subject matters outside themselves. They work from a different source. They work from within.”
– Jackson Pollock

Join Premier Arts Collective for a memorable evening at Eagle Mountain Winery – a state-of-the-art winery set against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Your evening will begin with an exquisite Eagle Mountain wine tasting paired with craft charcuterie by Charcuterthree. Experience the art of wine making as you taste five of the choicest wines Eagle Mountain has to offer.

Next, we’ll move to Eagle Mountain’s Vat Room where artist Jared Emerson will paint a new Pollock-esque painting. Finally, it’s time to Paint Like Pollock!

Jackson Pollock understood the power of freeform expression and the therapeutic nature of art – the same power that PAC believes can provide healing for the underprivileged and those affected by trauma and abuse. You’ll have the opportunity to tap into that expression and create your own painting in the style of Jackson Pollock. Prepare to get a little messy!

All proceeds from this event will support Premier Arts Collective and our mission to heal the world through the arts and music.
