THE ART

Step‑by‑step painting instruction

A new artist joins the 2026 line-up and will guide attendees through the creation of a finished painting; no prior experience is required and instruction is aimed at letting participants enjoy the process.

THE ATMOSPHERE

Relaxed, social workshop setting

Sessions are designed as light, sociable evenings where friends—or solo participants—can paint together in a relaxed environment inside the museum’s Power House.

THE TAKEAWAY

All materials and a finished canvas to keep

The ticket price includes all art materials and a glass (or two) of prosecco; each attendee leaves with the painting they’ve completed during the two‑hour session.

Expect a compact, two‑hour creative session: you arrive at the museum, settle into the Power House, follow step‑by‑step guidance from the instructor and enjoy prosecco as you work.
