MAKE MONDAYS COLORFUL: SANTANDER PRESENTS FREE PAINTING SESSIONS

Santander Bank, N.A. is hosting a series of complimentary evenings of painting on the first three Mondays in December to celebrate its sponsorship of the “Goya: Order and Disorder” exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA). Titled “Colorful Mondays at Santander,” anyone 21-years-old and over can join Santander for an evening of painting and fun by signing up at one of the Bank’s 16 branches in Boston (list follows).

The painting events will be held at Santander’s flagship branch at One Beacon Street in Boston, and will include a complimentary two-hour guided lesson from a professional artist featuring a painting from the MFA’s extensive collection. Participants will also enjoy complimentary refreshments.

“We welcome aspiring artists and those who just want to learn how to paint to join us for a fun evening celebrating and creating art,” said Kathy Klingler, chief marketing officer at Santander. “We are delighted to give the community an opportunity to display their creativity and have fun at the same time. Colorful Mondays at Santander is a natural extension of our sponsorship of the Goya exhibition at the MFA and a great way to bring art and culture to the public.”

The “Colorful Mondays at Santander” painting events are complimentary, but space is limited to the first 50 people who sign up for each night. The lessons will take place on December 1, 8, and 15 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Santander’s One Beacon Street branch in Boston.
