Arlington The Village at Shirlington invites DC-area fashionistas to Shirlie’s Girls Night Out on Thursday, Sept. 6, 5-10 p.m. Style-savvy Shirlies can enjoy trunk shows, cocktails and promotions from the village’s boutiques, restaurants, salons, spas and shops every first Thursday of the month. Upcoming dates will be Oct. 4 and Nov. 1.
New to Shirlie’s Girls Night Out for September are two Canvas & Cocktails classes offered by DC’s original source of participatory nightlife-infused paint parties, ArtJamz.

The Shirlie’s ArtJamz classes will be held in the Hilton Garden Inn from 6:30-8 p.m. and 8:30-10:00 p.m. Tickets are $25 for a 90-minute session and include one 20x24 canvas.
