About this Event

🕰 The Persistence of Memory — A Speakeasy Painting Experience


Paint & Sip in The Exhibition Room

Step beyond the phonebooth and into an evening where art, time, and atmosphere melt together.

The Exhibition Room invites you to “The Persistence of Memory — A Speakeasy Painting Experience,” an intimate, immersive paint-and-sip inspired by Salvador Dalí’s iconic masterpiece, The Persistence of Memory.

Set inside Long Beach’s most alluring hidden lounge, guests will create their own surreal interpretation of melting clocks and dreamlike landscapes — no prior painting experience required.

Business casual dress code. (Paint attire welcome — time can get messy.)

Under dim lights, vintage accents, and a whisper of jazz in the air, local Long Beach artist Hugo Dominguez will guide you step-by-step as your canvas transforms into a surreal masterpiece.

Whether you come for the art, the ambiance, or the cocktail — this is a night designed to feel less like a class and more like stepping into a dream.
