Frequently Asked Questions
-
What if I am unable to attend the art party and no-show my reservation?
As a courtesy to our patrons, The Art Bash Studio allows credit for a no-show. Your name will be placed in a file, and you may use your credit by calling in your next reservation to 484.3438. We allow 2 users of credit per art party, space available. You may not use credit toward a fundraiser, or for a private art party until that party has reached its required minimum of paid reservations.
-
What is the cost to attend an Art Bash Studio party and what is furnished?
The cost per person is $35 plus tax for a 2 hour party and $45 plus tax for a 3 hour party. Most paintings take about 2 hours to complete and the complexity of the painting will determine whether it is 2 or 3 hour party and the duration will be noted on the calendar and during the reservation process. We provide the canvas and all other supplies including brushes, paint, smocks/aprons. We will also offer some Sangria which, at this time, is included in the price. In addition, we have bottled water.
-
What if I can't paint? What if I'm not artistic?
No artistic skills are required, but a sense of humor is. Even if you think that you can’t paint a straight line, you will be surprised at what you can create with the assistance of our wonderful artists. Your art coach for the class will guide the group through basic steps in creating the featured painting and will ensure that you stay on track to completing your own masterpiece by the end of the class. There are no “mistakes”, but acrylic paint dries very quickly and you can change anything that you want to perfect.
-
Does everyone at the party paint the same painting? Can I paint something different?
Everyone will paint the SAME subject because it’s a step-by-step process where everyone paints along with the art coach. However, you may wish to change some color to personalize your art. If you venture too far from the artwork being instructed, then please understand our artist(s) cannot take time away from others to assist you should you require alot of extra attention.
-
When should I arrive for the party?
We recommend that you arrive 15 to 20 minutes before class to allow you to enjoy a beverage and to mingle with your art coach and fellow artists. Everything will be set up for you prior to the painting party beginning. If you have a small group, we will seat you all together if you will provide the names in your group.
-
What if I have had some painting experience?
Some people come to the parties just because of the easy access to canvas and supplies and to join their friends at the party. You are welcome to go in any creative direction you like - change colors or composition. Make it your own your "masterpiece"! Please be mindful, however, that our artist cannot give extra attention to those not following our step by step process.
-
What should I wear?
Wear anything comfortable. We provide painter’s aprons to cover your slips and drips. KEEP IN MIND THAT ACRYLIC PAINT DOES NOT COME OUT OF FABRIC, so dress accordingly.
-
Can I bring food or beverages?
Yes! You may bring any food/snack and soft drink* that you like.*Please note: We have been advised that it is illegal to bring your own bottle of alcoholic beverages (including wine) to any place of business within the city limits of Savannah, even if the business has an alcoholic beverage license, unless the space has been booked for a private event. AGAIN, you may NOT BYOB to an open art party and may be asked to leave with no refund/credit given if you do so. The ENMARK convenience store close to us on Waters Ave has soda dispensers and a very good coffee bar.
-
Do you ever cancel an art bash?
We hope we never have to cancel an art bash. However, we reserve the right to do so if there are less than 4 reservations OR because of inclement weather. In either case, paid reservation holders will be given credit for a future bash.

Did you change the studio's name?
YES! The Art Bash Studio (formerly The Art Buzz Studio) is our fun new name, but we are the SAME FUN PLACE! The name change was needed so we could trademark our studio's name. Our attorney is now much happier ;)!
