Get creative and have a tipple or two at the wonderful Neon Brush sip and paint experience in Manchester. Formerly known as Paint in the Dark, this artistic adventure invites you to ignite your creative spirit with the help of glow-in-the-dark paint and drinks. Explore vivid colours and paint whimsical waves or whatever your inner artist tells you, all while sipping on a bevvy and having some fluoro fun.
Neon Brush’s drink and paint event is taking place inside Aatma, a music and events venue located in the city’s Northern Quarter. Surrounded by vintage boutiques, record shops, and the eclectic Afflecks Palace, your imagination will feel at home in the creative heart of Manchester. The painting workshop is taking place on select dates and places are limited, so make sure you book your spot to enjoy the vibrant workshop.
What is Neon Brush?
Neon Brush is an adults-only art workshop that includes two complimentary drinks (beer, wine, soft drink) and, through the use of incandescent UV lights, provides an incomparable setting for an hour and 30 minutes of uninterrupted expression. Follow the rhythm of the soundtrack playing upbeat hits and create a neon painting using fluorescent paints that glow in the dark during the retro session in Manchester.
Tell me more about this sip and paint experience
Typically scheduled on weekends (sometimes weekdays), the workshops encourage you to follow your vision without obeying the lines of a standard template or restrictive rules. At Neon Brush, you’re relying on a “break the rules” principle and challenging tradition. However, if you feel like you need a second opinion, a professional artist is on hand to help and show you different painting techniques and styles.
Who is Neon Brush for?
The workshop is open to everyone (ages 18+)—you don’t need to be an artist to enjoy painting in the dark. Go with friends, family, and partners, or book Neon Brush for a memorable work team-building activity. Invest in the good times, get your camera out to take some snaps, and bring your painting home with you to hang proudly or give to someone special.
