🎨 ART UNWIND: BYOB Painting, Drawing & Creative Self-Expression Night
A Class for your Creative Wellness. Relax. Sip. Create. End Your Week with Self-care.
Looking for a unique Friday night activity in NYC? Trade the stress of the workweek for a paintbrush, a glass of your favorite wine, and an evening of creativity, relaxation, and connection at The Art Studio NY, NYC's #1-rated art studio.
Whether you've never picked up a paintbrush or haven't made art since childhood, this welcoming beginner art class is designed especially for non-artists, total beginners, and anyone craving a creative escape. No talent or experience is required—just bring your favorite bottle of wine (or beverage of choice), an open mind, and a willingness to unwind.
Each Friday evening, you'll explore a different creative experience through painting, drawing, art journaling, and expressive mixed-media while learning easy, step-by-step techniques in our famous fear-free, non-judgmental environment.
