The experience
A birthday everyone can take part in.
Your group has exclusive use of the studio during your two-hour session at 403 East 58th Street, Midtown East. Beginners are welcome: an instructor guides everyone step by step, and each guest takes their canvas home.
Bring the celebration
Food and drinks are welcome, including nonalcoholic options. Bring your own refreshments; they are not included in the class price. Alcohol is for guests 21 and older.
Keep planning simple
Book at least seven days ahead. Choose your date and guest count, then your painting preference. Aim to arrive ten minutes early; ask us about decorations or extra setup time before making plans.
