“The Joy of Painting” (Thursday, May 15 at 5:30 p.m.)

Enjoy a lively evening of channeling your inner Picasso, savoring good food and drink, and painting on canvas, guided by an artist. Presented by 106.1 The River and catered by Archer’s BBQ, the event takes place at Painting with a Twist, 10932 Murdock Drive, Knoxville. For $35 you get all the materials and instruction you need to create your own painting—and $25 of that benefits the Joy of Music School! Call 865-675-2500 to make your reservation now!

 

“Swing for Joy!” (Saturday, June 21, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.)

Do you play golf or know anyone who does? The new Target Golf driving range, owned by Barry and Pam Robertson, will donate the day’s entire proceeds to the School. Come by and hit some balls—buckets range from $5.50 to $12.50—for a great cause. Door prizes, skills challenges and giveaways will take place throughout the day. All are welcome, whether you’re an old pro or you’re just trying golf for the first time! The address is 5311 W. Beaver Creek Drive in Powell. We are grateful to Becky Chaffee of violettesbybecky.com for her generous work creating and presenting this fun event. (We’re also looking for volunteers to run some events, hand out prizes, and serve food.) Please call Frank Graffeo at 865-525-6806 to sign up to volunteer.
