Frequently Asked Questions
Should I be worried that I don't have artistic talent?
We like to call it Fun Art instead of Fine Art. So, no worries! Our artist will guide you step-by-step through the featured painting and will ensure that you stay on track to complete your masterpiece by the end of class. Don't hesitate to ask for help, we are here for you! Our goal is to offer you an exceptionally fun night out!
What if my painting looks nothing like the example?
Congratulations, you’ve just created an original. Picasso made a career out of it.
Can I bring my own wine?
No, we are not a BYOB. We have a bar that offers an outstanding variety of wines, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages.
Is outside food permitted?
No, we have a selection of foods including Flatbreads, Quesadillas and more.

Most Paint Nights are 18+. Afternoon classes are 15+. We have special children's classes on our Calendar too for the younger ones.
