The Florence Griswold Museum's Hot Air Club presents a new series, Art Bar Happy Hour, a casual evening of hands-on creativity. The event includes light fare, a signature drink and a distinctive project. The kick-off project, "Groovy Goblets," is Feb. 21, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Participants will decorate a pair of wine glasses with paint, wire, gems and more.

For the past eight years the Hot Air Club, named for the Lyme artists who challenged artistic and social traditions at the turn of the 20th century, has been presenting social programs that combine fun and art and culture-related topics.

The fee for "Groovy Goblets" is $25, and registration is necessary and can be made at FlorenceGriswoldMuseum.org.
