Bright bulbs and glass tubes illuminating letters and unelaborate images for signs are usually what comes to mind when one thinks of neon. It connotes all things retro and goes hand-in-hand with eclectic interior design features, bellbottoms, and The Bangles. And now its glow has arrived in Glasgow to shine a vibrant light on neon art. Discover Neon Brush for a painting session featuring fluorescent colours, a quality playlist, and thirst-quenching drinks.
Taking place in the Meditteranean-style setting at Arta, these adults-only workshops are scheduled on select dates over the coming months. What are you waiting for? Release your inner creative spirit and defy guidelines in a lively atmosphere. Places are limited, so call some of your favourite people and get planning the next adventure in the city.
What is Neon Brush?
It’s a 90-minute sip and paint experience inspired by the visual impact of neon, its versatility, and its ability to evoke strong emotions. Nobody looks at neon art and isn’t hit by its bold contrasts and eye-catching hues. The paints are easier to mix and are generally used to convey a clear message. Figure out what you’d like your artwork to say at this fun-filled workshop and ignite your imagination.
Tell me more about this sip and paint experience
The combination of music pumping and paint that glows in the dark creates a one-of-a-kind atmosphere for channelling your inner Bruce Nauman or Tracey Emin. Furthermore, with one free drink included in your ticket, you can get those creative juices flowing while sipping a refreshing beer, wine, or soft drink.
Try not to focus on the end product but instead enjoy teasing out your artistic voice and savour the process. What’s more, a professional artist will also be on hand to guide you through the entire session.
Who is Neon Brush for?
Neon Brush is for adults only, however, it is not aimed at skilful painters—everyone regardless of their level is welcome. Invite some of your friends along at the weekend or plan an after-work activity full of radiant surprises at a makeshift yet inspiring studio setting in the heart of Merchant City.
