Rhode Island is home to Providence, the creative capital, but the state’s creativity doesn’t end there. You, too, can get artsy across bars and paint studios in Rhode Island, or even from the comfort of your own home. Grab a glass of wine and your paint smock, because paint and wine events are the perfect idea for a girls’ night out, a date night, or an afternoon with the family!
Rachel and Paul Araujo’s studio offers the perfect inspiration for painting with its beautiful scenes of the Pawtucket Falls along the Blackstone River. Private parties can enjoy their own room separated from the rest of the studio, making it ideal for a bachelorette party or a girls’ night out. Some of the impressive 16 by 20 paintings created include replicas of “Starry Night” as well as tropical beach scenes.
Located downtown on Providence’s North Main Street, the Muse Paintbar offers more than just a painting studio and bar—it’s also got great tapas like mozzarella sticks and risotto balls served all evening.

You’ll feel like you’re learning from the best at this paint studio!
