Open Studio Thursdays at Neon Paint Place Skip the guided steps and paint whatever's actually in your head. Open Studio Thursdays is Baltimore's only open-format art night, no instructor telling you what to paint, just a blacklight-lit studio, good music, and instructors on hand if you want creative direction or a nudge in the right direction. Bring your own canvas in any size, or use one of ours, either way, all paint and supplies are included. It's BYOB (21+ with ID), snack-friendly (just nut-free, please), and genuinely fun for all ages, making it just as great for a family night as it is for a group of friends looking for something different to do on a Thursday. Whether you're a seasoned painter or you haven't touched a brush since grade school, this is your night to make something that's actually yours, under glowing blacklight, with the freedom to create without rules. students with a valid college ID or student ID get discounts.

There's nothing else in Baltimore quite like painting under blacklight while your canvas glows to life in front of you. This isn't your typical paint-and-sip, you're recreating a bold, street-art-inspired neon dinosaur with thick graffiti outlines and a signature crown, using colors that only reveal their full vibrancy once the lights go dark. It's part art class, part glow-in-the-dark experience, and part night out with your people. Bring your own drinks, snacks and water are provided, and an instructor walks you through every step, so no artistic skill is required, just a willingness to get creative and have fun. Whether you're planning a date night, a birthday, a girls' night, or just want to try something you can't find anywhere else in the city, this is the kind of experience people end up talking about long after the paint dries.
