It was around $35 per person for the paint supplies, and you can buy your own drinks on top of it. A lot of the wine options were only available in bottles, not individual glasses, so I got the spicy margarita. It turned out to be pretty good though. For the paintings, we did a sunset beach theme. The class was super fun, the instructor was funny, and it was a nice experience. I hope to go again for sure!

I attended a friend's baby shower at Indigo & Violet and it was the perfect afternoon. The space is…read morebright and welcoming and bursting with crafty creations. We first gathered in the back where there is a bar and enjoyed some drinks, macaroons, and charcuterie. The space was able to hold about 20 of us comfortably. For our activity, we water color painted an alphabet book for the baby. Each page consisted of a letter and accompanying animal tracing, so our job was just to fill it in. I'm pretty sure the owner did all the outlines for us, which was incredibly impressive! The painting was so relaxing, therapeutic, and fun! I love that my friend will have this book to look back on to remember the fun day. They offer SO many fun and crafty classes here. Wreath building, calligraphy, embroidery, macrame, and that is truly just the tip of the iceberg. If you're interested in picking up a new hobby or exploring a craftier side, I think indigo + violet is the perfect place to look.

I had my bridal shower at Indigo & Violet for ~20 guests and everything exceeded my expectations!…read moreLeigh, the owner of the studio, led us through a floral arrangement workshop and it was a beautiful, fun, and a unique event- everyone had so much fun. We brought our own snacks & bubbly, and saved extra time for presents/games. In total we used the space for 3.5 hours. The total price was very reasonable for a private event in Chicago and the studio set up was perfect! Leigh was very professional, responsive, and listened my vision - she provided the exact type of flowers/color scheme I asked for. It was a lovely event and I cannot recommend Indigo & Violet enough! Perfect for any bridal shower, baby shower, bachelorette party, birthday, or any special celebration!

They will correspond with you and you can choose the artwork you want to paint (they have THOUSANDS to choose from). You can also invite your guests to register and pay separately. On the day of your event, you can bring your own snacks, foods, drinks, and decorations. Everything else would be prepared for you, including utensils, ice, and any painting/ candle making supplies you would need. There is also an instructor who will guide you as you follow along. Though that is the case, you can still customize the painting to your own liking (in terms of colors and painting styles). It was so cool to see everyone's unique take of the painting afterwards. We all had a blast! This is such a nice indoor activity for those cold Chicago days. Since there is an instructor, this is a good activity for everyone; those who are more artistically skilled and even for first-timers heheh. TIP: If it's your birthday, you also get to choose a pre-painted painting for free to take home!

If using the Go City pass, you must reserve online and present the pass upon arrival. Check in was smooth. There was a coat rack for us to hang up our coats. Justin was the owner and class instructor. He was very friendly and patience. He discussed his background and went over different techniques that we practiced. There was ample stencils to use to make our own creation on a canvas that we were able to take with us. My only complaint is that there weren't enough bottles available for popular colors such as black and white. This led to people waiting what seems like forever. I would say there was about 15 or so of us present. Towards the end, he brought out more bottles but they were almost gone and ran out quickly. Another thing I didn't like was the lack of organization of stencils. I wish they were separated by categories so we could easily see what's available and what we wanted Nonetheless, this was an enjoyable experience and I would do it again.

I began with GB in the first year as a model when it was still just in someone's living room…read more Although not my first time modeling for figure artists, I was still relatively new to the scene and the group of Grotesque Burlesque artists was extremely professional, respectful, and fun! Most importantly, the group creates a safe space for artists and models alike. They really do welcome all skill levels and you will never be made to feel stupid or untalented. Trust me... one week I went to draw, not to model. I hadn't done figure art since college, so my skills were lacking. Everyone was extremely supportive and even loaned me some supplies to get me back into it. That's just how awesome this group is. So if you want to have a chill, low-key, fun, unpretentious time making some cool art, honing your skills, and having a drink-- this is the best place to do it! (Side note, as a model, they pay very fair and competitive rates for models, which is incredibly welcome. They truly respect models time and talents.)

Space itself is intimate, relaxed lighting, great music not too loud, and the owner who has been a high school art teacher for years, and creating art for longer, and her sons are kind and compassionate. I can see, how when the classes will offer children's coloring, woodcraft, and art therapy, that the owners will create a great experience for everyone. Can't wait to see what Artspace does next!
