Sip and Paint On The Plaza

Back by popular demand! After the overwhelming success and vibe of our 2024 Sip & Paint, we’re bringing that same energy back for another chill evening of creativity, connection, and community fun.

Join us for an end-of-summer celebration where art meets happy hour, and everyone leaves with something beautiful—on canvas and in spirit. This free community gathering is the perfect chance to unwind after work, meet new people, and let your creative side shine in the heart of downtown Oakland.

Guided Sip & Paint SessionGrab a brush and a beverage—our friendly local art instructor will walk you through each step, no experience needed! You’ll leave with your own unique masterpiece and few new friends.
