Art Instructor | Muse Paintbar | Milford

MUSE PAINTBAR•Milford, CT

1d•$18 - $20•Onsite

About The Position

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