Book now Montréal’s spin art and painting experience
Spin it. Pour it. Make it yours.
Come play with colour, make something surprisingly good, and take it home. No art skills needed. Everything included.
BAD AT ART? PERFECT.THE STUDIO
ArtChaos is Montreal’s experimental art studio where anyone can try spin art.
We opened in January 2024 with one simple idea: everyone can be a painter. You don’t need experience, technique, or even an idea of what you want to create. Choose your colors, pour paint onto the canvas, spin it — and watch your artwork come to life.
Since opening, we’ve welcomed more than 30,000 guests and hosted over 100 group events — from dates and birthday parties to team buildings and corporate product launches.
Come experiment, make a mess and create something that actually looks cool.

COMING SOONHow it works
We are at 31 Saint-Viateur Est, in Mile End. Street parking is on Saint-Viateur and the streets around it: some days plenty, some days less. By metro, get off at Laurier and walk fifteen minutes, or take the 55 bus along Saint-Laurent and get off at Saint-Viateur. At the door you sign a short disclaimer, then we hand you an apron and gloves, because there is always a chance of paint on you. Your Art Master walks you to your station.
Before anything that counts, a practice canvas. Your Art Master shows the machine, the bottles and the two or three movements that do most of the work, then you try them yourself. Nothing important can go wrong here, and most people find their colours in these five minutes.
Then the real one. You choose the colours, you decide when to pour and when to spin, and the table does the rest. If you want, we take photos while you work and with the finished piece, and email them to you privately. Nothing is published.
The wet canvas goes into the drying oven for fifteen to twenty minutes. That is the moment for the bar on the other side of the room: a cocktail, a beer, something without alcohol, a snack, and an opinion about everyone else’s canvas.
Once it is dry, the canvas goes into a bag and home with you, along with the hour you spent making it. Next time, try a different technique: nobody has made the same canvas twice.
The best part
There is no reference painting to copy and no “correct” result.
Pick your colours, pour the paint, spin the canvas and see what happens. Every piece comes out different — and somehow, it works.
That’s the whole idea behind ArtChaos: everyone can make something cool.
Somehow, it works.Who comes here
Same hour, same paint, five different reasons to be here. Pick the one that sounds like your group.
Group eventsBirthdays that are not for children, staff parties, reunions, anything that needs a room and a reason.The room to yourselves 
Team buildingA shared task that does not rebuild the office hierarchy. Nobody is senior at spin art.No trust falls 
SchoolsIndoors whatever the forecast, everything supplied, and the cleanup is ours. You bring the students.Easy to organize 
BirthdaysA table of your own, a host who runs the session, and cake whenever you want it. The paint needs time to settle, which is the part everyone spends talking.Kids, teens + adults

I had never painted anything before and this was an amazing experience and lots of fun. I definitely recommend it.
There’s something genuinely magical about watching the colors fly and seeing your one-of-a-kind canvas come to life. No artistic talent required — just pure joy and a little creativity!
Le spin art était une activité vraiment réussie pour l’anniversaire de mon filleul. Tout le monde a adoré, autant les enfants que les adultes.
Snacks + drinks
Your session might last an hour. That doesn’t mean you have to leave.
Grab a cocktail, beer or something without alcohol. Get a bite. Play a game. Compare everybody’s masterpieces while the paint dries.
ArtChaos is part studio, part bar, part excuse to do something different.
SEE THE MENUSome things at ArtChaos only happen for a little while.
Get the chaos first. Sent when there is something real to say, and not otherwise.
Good questions
The things people ask us most, answered quickly.
ArtChaos is a social art studio and creative event venue in Montréal. Guests make Spin Art canvases, Fluid Toys and seasonal pour-art projects with simple guidance from our team.
Spin Art uses a motorized platform that rotates a canvas. You apply paint while changing the speed and position, creating circular movement, layers and patterns that are difficult to reproduce twice.
Fluid Toys are collectible figures decorated by pouring selected paint colours and optional glitter over the surface. Each pour creates a different pattern.
No. There is no drawing requirement and no traditional painting class. The team explains the equipment and technique, then you choose the colours and make the piece your own.
A regular session runs 60 minutes. Larger private group events can run for two to three hours.
