Muse Paintbar is a guided painting experience with 26 studios across the East Coast. Acrylic paint, easels, a bar and kitchen, and a few hundred people a week who show up, fully confident that they have no artistic ability whatsoever. They leave with a painting they're proud of and a good story. We're not a gallery, and we're not a classroom. We're a great night out that happens to involve a paintbrush.
