Fun Art Classes Near Downtown Denver CO

By Serena Price


Denver CO has a variety of fun art classes near downtown areas. The first and probably the biggest is one of Denver's museums. They offer a variety of courses that can be accesses by purchasing the general admission ticket. They offer drawing classes that are led by a noted artist that shows his work in the museum. These courses are created in a light hearted spirit and can lead people who previously did not think they were capable of drawing or painting a successful piece of their own.

You can explore different artistic courses at the museum if you choose. They have textile courses and an extensive architecture course and tour for those who are interested. They conduct a drop in drawing session on the second Tuesday of the month but you must bring your own materials to this course.

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.

Many of the studios that offer paint and sip venues have multiple themes and subjects to choose from. You must make reservations to participate but everything you need will be given to you when you arrive. This will include the canvas to paint, an apron to protect your street clothes and the paints you will need. They encourage you to think outside the box when creating but will also show you step by step how to paint your picture.

Some of the sip and paint studios offer classes for children during the day light hours. The sessions last about three hours and parents can stay or drop the kids off and go shopping while they paint. These studios also offer private parties for consumers as well as fund raising parties for charitable organizations.

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.

Most of the sessions are two to three hours long and all of the hosts provide everything you will need to create your painting. They use local artists to lead the classes and supply a wide variety of subject matter throughout the year. They accommodate larger parties and arrange to seat couples and groups together if at all possible.

You can enjoy the fun art classes near downtown in Denver anytime you feel the urge. There are several companies to choose from and the cost is not prohibitive. As a single person or as a couple it is a very good way to entertain friends and make new acquaintances as well.
