UYM - Sip and Paint in the Dark | Amsterdam | Sat 14 Sep at 11:45

Sip, paint and unwind with Rembrandt van Wine 🍷🎨

Looking to give yourself a break from your busy, daily life? Join us for a sip & paint party in the dark 🖌✨ Unleash your inner artist, sit back and relax, dream and sip away without any worries. 

What can you expect?
This is a painting workshop taught by a professional artist in an intimate, dark environment with music and social interaction with the people around you. The black lights make each painting glow in the dark 🤩You don't need any painting experience. There will be an art instructor to guide you along the way. Or embrace your creative mind and paint it your own way! There will also be a host present to make sure you never see the bottom of your glass of wine (also non-alcoholic wine and soft drinks are served), play music and give everyone a good time. This event is all about painting, sipping, socializing, having fun and learning something new in a non-judgemental environment. Have a look at the website of Rembrant van Wine for an impression: Sip and Paint in the Dark | Rembrandt van Wine

Why does this make the perfect UYM activity?
To explain this, we go back to the origins of sip and paint. The story goes that Wendy Lovo, an art teacher, started teaching kids' and adult classes and noticed large amount of stress among her oldest students. They worried about making their paintings perfect and couldn't get out of their heads. Wendy thought some wine might relieve them from the stress. Now, 20 year later, millions of people are sipping their stress away in front of a canvas at sip and paint events.

Some important details
Even though it will feel like a painting party, don't wear your prettiest outfit. You will receive an apron to protect your clothing from getting dirty, but wear something that you feel comfortable in, but wouldn't shed a tear if it gets dirty either.

Small bites will be served, but if you are afraid you will be hungry, then please eat something beforehand.

The event will start at 12:00 at the art studio of Rembrandt van Wine (Parnassusweg 126, 1076 AT, Amsterdam). It's a 15-minute walk from station Amsterdam Zuid. Let's meet in front of the studio at 11:45 AM.

Hope to see you there!
