Paint & Sip Events for Pubs, Clubs and Venues in Sydney
You bring the crowd, we bring the party: a creative event for your quiet nights and special occasions. Art Bubbles is a mobile Paint and Sip service based in Sydney’s Inner West. We bring the artist, the materials and the guided session to your venue, so you can offer something different without hiring an artist or buying materials.
Who we work with
Pubs, Clubs & Venues
Quiet-night and midweek events, private functions and ticketed public sessions.
Why Venues choose Art Bubbles
Over 500 sessions delivered across New South Wales
No experience needed: an experienced artist guides every guest step by step, and everyone leaves with a finished painting
Everything supplied: all painting materials are included
Easy for your team: we handle the artist, the setup and the session; you provide the space
Flexible: sessions run 2 to 2.5 hours, and the format can suit your venue, whether guests eat and drink while they paint or not
How it works
1. Tell us about your venue or group. Send us a message with your space, your preferred days and the kind of event you have in mind.
2. We plan it together. We agree the painting, the date and a ticket deadline. You set your own ticket price and sell the tickets to your customers.
3. We run the session. We arrive, set up and guide the painting. Your guests paint, relax and take their artwork home.
4. Repeat. Many venues run regular sessions or run them multiple times during the year.

Venues and groups we have worked with
We hosted our paint and sip class for a Saturday afternoon activity within our bar. It was really well received as in idea and we sold out tickets quickly.The experience itself was great. Pamela was a perfect host and everyone had a great time. We couldn't have asked for a better experience on the day.
