Join Bihl Haus Arts for an afternoon of art, mimosas, and good company with teaching artist Wardell Picquet during a “Mimosas & Monarchs” fundraiser from 2-4 p.m. Saturday, May 23 at the gallery, 2803 Fredericksburg Road. The event celebrates Texas wildflowers and the season’s most iconic butterfly.

In this relaxed, beginner-friendly session, you'll paint a vibrant scene featuring the Texas state wildflower — the Indian paintbrush — in full bloom, alongside a monarch butterfly in flight against a clear blue sky. No drawing experience needed: canvases come pre-sketched so you can focus entirely on color, brushwork, and having fun.

Cost is $45 and includes:
• All painting supplies (canvas, brushes, acrylic paint)
• Two complimentary mimosas
• Non-alcoholic options available
• Light snacks
