The Studio
We are so excited to finally have a permanent studio base after 8 + years of operating entirely mobile.
Our studio is located at 2/17 Hulme Court, Myaree and is an artist’s dream. With high ceilings, concrete floors and plants a many, this space feels cosy, whilst still being practical to our needs. We can fit up to 40 painters in our downstairs space and are fit with a stage and microphone to make your painting experience as smooth as possible.
There are drinks available for purchase a the bar and cheese boards that can be added on to your booking.
Take a photo in front of the infamous Cabernet & Canvas wall, or head up the wooden stair case to the mezzanine level where we teach our Life Drawing classes.
Upstairs features pastel tones, comfy bean bags and dried floral arrangements. Perfect for more of an intimate setting, and versatile enough to suit any event.
The studio is available for hire for Private and Corporate Events and has a secondary space that can be used for meetings, brainstorming, or post-painting drinks.

The Main Event Space
Our Main Event Space can seat up to 40 painters and is where we conduct the majority of our classes. We conduct the classes from up on a stage and walk around the room to make sure you are all on track! The venue has a disabled toilet and is on the first floor of the building, so is wheelchair accessible.
We also have a full stocked bar up the back and a small fridge if you want to bring a birthday cake or organise any catering.
Our current stockists are: James Squire 50 lashes, Rapura Wines (NZ) and Jacobs Creek.
The Mezzanine Level
The spacious Mezzanine Level is where we conduct our Life Drawing classes, but can be used for a variety of purposes. The styling features pastel peach tones, comfy seating and dried floral arrangements. Perfect for more of an intimate setting, and versatile enough to suit any event.
The space can also be used as a secondary meeting space either before or after your session for brain storming, or post - painting drinks.
