A behind-the-scenes glimpse into the creative lives of the hosting artists of Paint and Create Darwin. A locally owned business specialising in providing quality pop-up beginner social painting classes.


Join us in an exhibition where creating art helps us release and escape the chaos of everyday life. A visual explosion of different mediums coming together in one space.


Artistic energy is our drive to create and break boundaries, bring joy, and connect with others. Creative energy is a flow; ideas start to unravel, and time moves quickly, great things can be made, and even if they aren't always "great", it's essential to our imaginative lives.
