What is Paint in the Dark?
Paint in the Dark is an adults-only, drink and paint workshop that inspires guests to experiment and think outside the box. Through the cool UV lights, this experience encourages creative exploration through neon and classical paints, as you listen to upbeat music in the background. For those of us that, let’s just say won’t be the next Dalí, the complimentary drink definitely helps! The neon lights produce highly saturated and vibrant colours contributing to a futuristic ambiance that helps to convey themes and emotions in the artwork.

As you sip on your drink of choice (wine, beer or soft drink), you’ll be given painting materials and be led on your evening of creative fun by a professional artist who will accompany you through the painting process for 90 minutes, answer your questions and even teach you a few techniques. Although you’ll have a “creativity guardian”, helping you through the artistic adventure, it is all up to you to choose the theme and colors and realise your creative vision.
