During our spray paint and sip experience on 1/18/26 we had an excellent instructor who was VERY informative and entertaining! We were able to ask other questions regarding spray paint and art as well. I would recommend this 10 times over but make sure you bring a bottle. That definitely adds to the experience as well but i would do this sober too lol

Christian_L, Mar 2026
This was an amazing experience the instructor was fun and professional. I would highly recommend this for a date night or night out with friends

Instead of doomscrolling, do this!

Laura_M, Mar 2026
I don’t know why I didn’t think about it but people visiting should probably be reminded to wear things that they aren’t afraid to get paint on. I thought it was a fun activity and a worthwhile way to spend time. The instructor was kind and showed us various techniques. Good time.

Great time! Very friendly and informative. Would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone. Loved it

Do it!

Glenn_H, Dec 2025
Izzy led an amazing class that promoted a fun and creative artistic process. One that embraces and accepts the unexpected “accidents” of learning a new art form. Izzy’s kind and positive demeanor led our class into a comfortable environment. One where we could let go of our expectations for what our art should be and experiment with what it could be. The facility was clean, spacious, and a beautiful collage of graffiti. They were able to provide a multitude of colors and stencils to facilitate any direction you wanted to take your art.

Creative Fun

Great bday gift for my friend who loves all things artistic! The instructor was creative and amazing. It was a fun time.

Spray paint vs paint

A team outing, this paint experience was a first for all involved. The instructor in my opinion went above and beyond, he was amazing!. Everyone left with art they were happy about and having learned something new. I cannot think of a better way to spend time with the team outside the office. Thank you!

Family fun for adults and teens!

Mark_M, Nov 2025
Was looking for a family bonding activity with 10 and 14 year old that wouldn’t feel lame, and this hit the mark perfectly. Family had an awesome time and came away with some cool artwork. Everyone got to kind of do their own thing and be creative all while still laughing and joking around in the process. Instructor was super friendly and got through instructions quickly, but not rushed, so we could spend most of our time designing. Was really helpful along the way helping achieve certain effects or giving advice. Lots of stencil options and generally just a relaxed and chill environment. Highly recommend!

Amateur graffiti artist in the making!

JANEL_L, Oct 2025
Lots of fun! I was pleasantly surprised by the brief tutorials provided along the way. Self-expression and creativity celebrated here. Worth the trip! Check it out! I would recommend a face mask due to paint in the air, but well worth it.
