Drake University students undoubtedly needed some time to unwind during the frenzy of midterm exams last month. After all, papers, tests, and last-minute cramming can make anyone a little frazzled. That’s why Bottle & Bottega Des Moines stepped up to the plate to provide a little midterm-week fun for Drake students. On March 13th, students were treated to painting classes and punch at the “DU it Yourself: Paint and Sip” event. Many students had never taken up the hobby of painting, and still managed to flex their artistic side in a fun, relaxing way.
The Student Activities Board reached out to Bottle & Bottega Des Moines last month to participate, and we were happy to bring our awesome artistic fun to the college campus. Not to mention, Bottle & Bottega’s Co-Owner James Neely is a 2001 MBA graduate of Drake University. By collaborating with the Spirit Co-Chair Sophia Revord, we made a magical event happen for students and university staff alike. Students’ paintings were inspired by Drake University mascot “Griff the Bulldog,” in a custom image created by local artist Jill Woodward. The high turnout included 70 students who relaxed, unleashed their inner artiste, and created some fun masterpieces to take home.
