IF Creating a painted work of art is on your "bucket list" then you need to make plans to attend…read moreone of The Art Escape's painting classes. Go by yourself and make new friends or attend with a group. Regular classes are offered each Tuesday and other days is by group booking. Looking to have a monthly community activity, then they'll come to you. In their studio, each month they pick a picture and in two hours they will instruct you how to go from a blank canvas to a beautiful piece of art you will be very proud of. You may discover your inner picasso or monet. Never painted before, don't worry, they take you through each step, demonstrating it and then working one on one as needed to help you paint that highlight or blend or whatever is needed for your painting. Maria and Katherine are two former art instructors that had a dream to run their own business and spread the beauty and joy of creating your own painted masterpiece. They have a very high level of customer service. I'm hooked and can't wait to go back.

I have to admit, it wasn't nearly as messy as I expected--they provided everything we needed and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. My granddaughter had a blast, and thanks to the wonderful employees, she gives this place 10 stars. And, said "We will definitely be back"!!! For me, it was the perfect stress-relief activity and such a great bonding experience. We went at noon, so it was peaceful and relaxed, which made it even better. The staff was incredibly attentive, giving clear instructions before and after our session. It was also nice to see that they offer event spaces for parties and gatherings. Highly recommend Color Sling for anyone looking for a unique, fun, and memorable experience

We had so much fun!!…read more My sisters and I wanted to do something to unwind and we definitely enjoyed ourselves here. Called in to make an appointment beforehand just to guarantee our spot. There are amazing group deals on their website as well as some more information about the business! Melissa, co-owner, was there the day we went in and she was so so welcoming. We were supplied ponchos and shoe coverings as well as lockers for our things and even hair nets and accessories. They thought of it all! Melissa explained everything to us and made sure we were comfortable before leaving us to our creativity. I absolutely loved the fact that we were always checked on as well as our paint and cleaning waters. Melissa would make encouraging comments I needed because I for one am not creative. LOL I absolutely cannot wait to drop by again and bring others because I definitely feel it's a very special little place. The vibe just gives and I'm so grateful to know a place like this exists.
