Painting with pints? Sign us up.

There’s a new way to unleash your inner artist and enjoy a night on the town – ArtClub has arrived, with a host of events planned around the country and two coming up in Cork.

ArtClub, a new company launched by well-known Cork creative Sinead McCarthy and Lorraine O’Neill (formerly of PaintClub) is bringing the fun of painting nights to your favourite Cork bars.

You’ll get all the supplies you need, including paints, brushes, and a canvas, plus expert guidance from a local artist.

The best part? You can sip on your favourite drinks while you create your masterpiece! It’s a fun way to entertain a crowd if you’re planning a get-together, a team-building day or a hen party and everyone goes home with their own custom piece of art to hang on the wall.

What’s coming up?

Over at Tequila Jack’s on Lapp’s Quay on Thursday, September 5th, Sinead will instruct you step by step with a few new tricks to create a beautiful ‘Catnap’ scene.

Later at Crawford & Co, on Anglesea Street on Tuesday, September 24th, you can try your hand at recreating ‘The Last of the Summer Wine’. Fitting, if you ask us. No experience is required and your canvas is even pre-drawn for ease.

“You will come for the craic and go home with a masterpiece,” they told us.

Tickets for both events are available now (€42.50) here.
