OCALA, Fla. - June 16, 2016 - PRLog -- Wine & Design, the leading paint and sip franchise that provides chic and upbeat spaces of painting classes for all ages and experience levels, continues its national expansion with the opening of its first central Florida location in Oxford. Kicking off the celebration on Saturday, June 25^th, Wine & Design is providing five full days of festivities including themed parties, discounted classes, giveaways and other special offers.

Studio owners, Kim Harac and Les Evans, are sharing their artistry and talent with the residents of The Villages. Harac, a middle school art teacher and prior instructor for a paint and sip studio, is excited to bring together friends and families for days and nights of artful fun during her Grand Opening celebration. With the help of fiancée and business partner, Les Evans, a local veterinarian, they are committed to giving back to the local community as well as building strong art programs for kids.

"Wine & Design is such a great concept and definitely a business with staying power," says Kim Harac, studio co-owner. "It's a dream come true to have a studio of my own and be able to provide another avenue and place that blends art and fun for everyone. Les and I hope to provide classes and programs that also give back to our customers - starting with a Paint Your Pet night where customers will not only be able to paint, but also have Les available for any veterinary questions or needs. Of course, pets will be allowed and doggie snacks will be offered."
