Special Illinois Painting Class Features A Few Celebrity Tie-Ins

I believe this painting class in Illinois will become very popular because of all the celebrity tie-ins to the event.

This IL Painting Class Has Connections To A Famous Clown, Actor, And Musician.

This is going to be a really fun day in Illinois. It has several tie-ins with famous people who have connections to our state. I don't think anything like this has ever been attempted before but I believe it will be successful.

The theme of this event is Bob Ross Painting Class. Here's your first celebrity connection. Bob Ross was a professional artist who hosted a show that taught viewers how to paint. It aired on PBS throughout Illinois.

The teacher for the art class is the famous actor, David Arquette. He is a certified Bob Ross Painting Class instructor. His connection to Illinois is that he now owns the right to Bozo who is Illinois' most famous clown.

At this painting class, Arquette will be there as Bozo the Clown. I'm guessing the project will be related to that. Since David purchased the rights to Bozo he has promised to bring back the famous clown and he has some ideas on how to do it.

Madame ZuZu's

The final piece of this celebrity event puzzle is the location. The class will be hosted by Madame ZuZu's in Highland Park. The owner of that business is Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins and an Illinois native. It will be held on October 20th.
