Art Workshops for Adults
Creative Evening – A Workshop for Wellbeing-at-work Days, Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties, and Other Fun Events
Creative Evening is an art workshop that fits perfectly into the program for wellbeing-at-work days, bachelor/bachelorette parties, or other fun events. During Creative Evening, participants draw inspiration from the contemporary art on display and unleash their creativity by creating their own low-threshold artwork. No prior experience is required to participate. During the Creative Evening, we’ll visit an art exhibition and create art in the workshop space.
There are two options to choose from for the Creative Evening workshop: Creative Evening Under UV Light or Creative Evening of Drawing.
Creative Evening Under UV Light
In the Creative Evening Under UV Light workshop, participants draw inspiration from the art exhibition on display and utilize paints that glow under ultraviolet light to create their own artwork on a canvas. The workshop is perfect for a wellbeing-at-work day, bachelor/bachelorette party, or any other fun gathering. Immerse yourself in a colorful UV world and let your creativity run wild! No prior experience or artistic skills are required—anyone can get creative.
Creative Evening of Drawing
In the Creative Evening of Drawing workshop, participants work in pairs to draw a portrait of their partner using a technique that is guaranteed to be fun and challenging, but requires no prior experience or skills. Laughter is guaranteed in this workshop! As a result, each participant will take home an expressive portrait of themselves drawn by a friend. The workshop is particularly well-suited, for example, for a wellbeing-at-work day program.
