While in the 1960s music had Dylan, The Beatles, the Velvet Underground, and the Stones, art had the likes of Martin Sharp and Alan Aldridge who created psychedelic posters, collages, and graphics using neon paints. Inspired by one of the greatest modern cultural movements, the new and creative Neon Brush experience is taking over Melbourne to help you unlock your artistic abilities.
Neon Brush takes place at Hanover House, one of the city’s most recognisable buildings of Southbank, on selected dates over the coming months. Formerly known as “Art and Glow in the Dark” in Melbourne, this vibrant workshop is open to everyone. Feel free to bring your own booze of choice to get the creative juices flowing. Places are limited so hurry up and reserve your seat now!
What is Neon Brush?
Neon Brush is an adults-only sip and paint workshop that transforms the typical art studio into a relaxed yet electric atmosphere with neon colours and paints and UV lights. What’s more, a policy of BYOB means you can get your drink on (either alcoholic or non-alcoholic, of course) at your own price. As you listen to a fun soundtrack while sipping on a refreshing drink you’ve brought from home, this not-so-ordinary art class allows your artistic self to shine.
Tell me more about this sip and paint experience
During these 90 minute sessions, you get to create whatever you like. Go outside the lines and disrupt conventions or go for a more traditional still life arrangement, a mythical creature, a beach or a stormy sky. You decide! If this feels too intimidating, worry not. There will be a professional artist on hand as well to give you a couple of tips and show you different techniques you can use should you want to.
Who is Neon Brush for?
Although artists can go, Neon Brush is open to everyone. After all, you don’t need to be an artist to be creative. Whether you want to treat yourself to a class and find out if you’re the next Yayoi Kusama, or you’re planning a fun evening for your friends, partners, family or team building at work, this painting class is always a fun time. It flips the script on the traditional painting class and always guarantees the giggles.
