Paint Jam is the original social painting party in London, created by London pioneers of the social painting event, est 2009 by artist and founder Dalia Zermon
Paint Jam events happens in our pop up art studio, which we install in spaces across London & beyond - inc the Truman Brewery buildings, The ICA, Battersea Power Station, The National Gallery and multiple secret pop up locations. We've been running our critically acclaimed and much loved Paint Jam events for 15 years - we're sure you'll love them too.

----------------------
Painting theme/ Inclusivity:
Each Paint Jam event has a Modern art painting theme - from Impressionsim to Pop Art to Abstract to Bauhaus to Graffiti and many more - you get to learn the style and brushor spray strokes of the particular art movement with your Paint Jam artist team, and then create your very own unique painting in that style - no copying here, we fully trust your creativity - then you get to keep your artwork, *unless it's the Neon Art Rave
2024 Painting themes are:
May 18th & 19th - PAINT THE MUSIC - our iconic abstract theme, where you get to paint in response to the sound, rhythms and beats of our DJ's music set. We can thank the Surrealists and Abstract Expressionists for this liberated and automatic way of painting. VERY POPULAR
July 13th & 14th - BAUHAUS & GEOMETRIC - make some shapes on your canvas, using bold colours, line and juxtapositions of your shapes. This theme is inspired by the Bauhaus artists, the stand alone Hilma af Klimt, and more contemporary geometric street art of DRT London, Camille Walala and Morag Myerscough. Sketch your composition in charcoal or masking tape! Then paint it. VERY POPULAR
September 14th & 15th - ART TUNNEL XTRA SPECIAL EVENT book on separate event page
November 16th & 17th - NEON ART RAVE - collaborative canvas esperience painting mural size canvases together, using Neon acrylic paints x dance music played by our DJ. Neon is normally paired with a geometric style, but we will be open to your ideas on the night. POPULAR/ NEWER
