Why Painting Hangout

Less art class.
More actual night out.

Settle into our colorful studio, enjoy your favorite beer or wine, and paint at your own pace with friendly guidance.

Beginner-first

You do not need to “be artistic.” The instructor walks everyone through the painting step by step.

BYOB-friendly

Bring the drinks you actually want and make the studio feel more like your own night out.

NYC personality

An intimate independent studio experience rather than a large-chain template.

How it works

Three steps from “what should we do?”
to booked.

1

Choose the experience

Open for a scheduled night, Private for exclusive studio use, or Mobile if you want us at your venue.

2

Pick the date

Use live availability instead of emailing back and forth to find out what is open.

3
