Finding Fun Art Classes Near Downtown Denver

By Serena Price


You can find several different types of fun art classes near downtown Denver without having to look very hard. The city has a museum that offers classes during the daylight hours and the cost is included in the price of your admittance ticket. One of the courses is called "Drawing for people who now know they can" and is a follow up for the beginners class previously completed. The museum also offers drop in sessions where you bring your own materials and can get creative input from one of the staff artists.

When thinking of artistic venues you are not limited to drawing and painting in this city. There are also courses that delve into textiles and many types of crafts. There is a local college where you can take a class or two for many different artistic paths.

A newer type of artistic pursuit is the paint and sip concept. Here the instructors create an atmosphere of camaraderie among the participants by using a social gathering feeling for them. When you arrive you are supplied with all of the supplies you will need to paint your picture as well as your first glass of wine or beer to help you relax. During the evening you will be given snacks and take several breaks for socializing.

Most of these studios focus on the fun and social side of their business and that makes for a very relaxed atmosphere. There are no critiques or judging contests to worry about and you will finish the painting in the two or three hour class. The leaders can show you techniques and short cuts used by some of the best artists around.

It is not recommended that you bring children to these sessions because it is an adult atmosphere. Children under twelve can be especially disruptive in a situation such as the paint and sip parties. Many of them do offer separate courses for children on weekend days that are approximately three hours long. Parents must sign their child up in advance and then can return after the class is finished.

Yet another facet of studios that offer casual atmospheres with a glass of wine is a traveling studio that meets at a different location each time. They have partnered with local hot spots to offer a truly unique experience. Many of the places they meet at offer food or drinks for the participants to enjoy. This studio will occasionally allow food to be brought into the class from outside but you may never bring alcohol from home to drink.

The painting sessions generally last up to three hours and everything you will need is provided including your first glass of wine or beer. If you would like another drink you can purchase it from your hostess. The subjects and models that are supplied change every week. They offer themed parties for larger groups and make an effort to seat friends and couples together.

These sip and paint sessions are becoming very popular in Denver. They offer a very unique way to experience many fun art classes near downtown. They are a great idea for date night with your partner or something to do with visiting friends and relatives.
