Birthday person paints free.Birthdays
Celebrate your birthday at ArtChaos and your painting is on us. Bring your own cake, there is no cake fee, and food and drinks are at the bar in the same room, so nobody has to organise a meal somewhere else.
How 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.
Birthdays
For a smaller birthday, book your stations online. Closer to thirty people, send us a group request instead: bigger groups need a little planning around stations and timing. Either way, every guest makes a final piece and takes it home.
Two kinds of birthday
Same room, same hour, same rule: everyone makes something. What changes is the price, the drinks and who needs a hand.
An hour at the spin table with an Art Master, a practice canvas, then the one each child takes home. Loud, colourful and over before anyone gets bored.
A paint and sip birthday: the session, then the bar, then the comparing of canvases. Nobody has to be good at it, and the birthday person does not pay.

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. C’était simple, bien organisé et vraiment le fun à faire. Une belle activité originale qui permet de repartir avec une création unique. Je recommande à 💯
