Carrie Curran Art Studios

Had so much fun here at the «Paint Your Pet» class with my mom! The owner, Carrie, paints the hard parts — the eyes and nose for you — shh! We learned a few painting tips at the beginning of class but spent most of the three hours painting, with Carrie and her assistant walking around and giving advice as needed. I was amazed by how well everyone in the class did! We think art is this elite thing for the super talented, but really, we all have an artist inside. I definitely want to come back for a Family Fun painting class with my kids!

I never took a painting class before and Dawn, our instructor made it so easy for me to follow and tap into my creative side painting. I can’t wait until my next class!

I have taken a group of women here lots of times and they always LOVE it. Carrie is a fabulous teacher and each woman walks away with a lovely painting. It’s a fun evening and I highly recommend the experience.

Just participated in a fund raiser for DLRR. What a great idea and a lot of fun! It’s a great way to raise money for a good cause and stay out of the heat! I will definitely go back again!

I searched around the valley and even purchased a «Groupon» and a «Living Social» deal, only to find out that those places only had 2 – 3 openings per week/​during the week only (falsely advertising as you had to pay extra to reserve a date), not BYOB, closed early (6pm), and/​or did not communicate effectively about reservations. I found Carrie’s studio on «Amazon Local» and from the moment I called, I received great customer service! Unfortunately, I did not have the chance to meet or speak with Carrie. However, I spoke to Maggy & Chris via phone and they were very receptive, friendly, and extremely accommodating for myself, my husband and 8 of our other couple friends. My only disappointment was that because they opened the calendar for our group for us and the public, another group was in attendance, which is more than okay, because the more the merrier. However, I’m not sure if we were having too much fun or if they were taking their paintings too seriously; but there was definitely an off balance as they were not as live or social as our group was. That type of thing can offset the fun atmosphere, but again we did not let it stop us from having fun! Just as a suggestion, for more than 8 – 10 people, future painters may want to book privately. Also, it would be nice to have a login page that shows how many seats left and to get deals for frequenters as the reg prices are quite pricey at $ 45 per person. In retrospect, our painting instructor Dawn was very welcoming, helped us get set up, and we painted the night away!

I painted again with friends today at the studio. We love «Paint Your Pet». Carrie is an excellent instructor and really helps you to bring out your best skills. Her direction is very clear and makes it an enjoyable experience. I suggest you go with a friend or two, it makes it a nice day out! I plan on going back, again and again!

Been here several times for a girls night out and holiday company parties. It’s been fun every time — you can bring your own food and drink and they take you step by step on how to paint a picture that you thought you never would be able to do. It’s a lot of fun!

What a great concept! I was invited by a friend, so I really didn’t know what to expect. The BYOB is a great idea… we brought in our own snacks and the whole atmosphere was so inviting. Carrie was a great host and very engaging.
So…you go in get the snacks and wine table ready… Carries gets everyone setup with their own canvas, paints, brushes and apron. You sit down and discuss what you will be painting. it’s already been decided, but whoever puts together the event, chooses what will be inspiration. Anyhow, once you get started and the painting begins, Carrie turns on the music and you paint away.
At the end, Carrie is great about taking pictures and getting everyone’s painting, so a nice touch. It was such a fun experience to do with friends and a great idea for special events… like a birthday. Hmmmmmm.
Check out their website and get painting.

Awesome and knowledgeable instructors and assistant instructors! They are very helpful for those who are beginners

My Wife and I went for date night to do this and had a very fun evening. Bring your bottle or wine or beers, good times.

BYOB wine and painting is a great idea! Awesome little studio walks you through painting your own little masterpiece! Bring a bottle of your favorite wine and they will provide all the supplies for painting. It’s a little scary but I was able to channel my inner Van Vogh and was able to re-​create a portrait of Daisies. This is a great place for a girls night out. Carrie thanks for opening such a wonderful studio!

Thank you Carrie Curran for allowing me to sign my 5 year old up for an adult class, and for taking the time to show her how to mix the colors properly. With the hands on attention, and the really neat subject (our dog) my daughter has an even greater appreciation and love for art — and I didn’t think that was possible! I can’t wait to see what kids events you have coming up! Of course we will be back.

Went for the first time last night with my best friend and had a blast. I am already signed up for the wine bottle painting class. 5 star time.

This places is great — very cool. I went to one of the Van Gogh vino nights… you can bring food, and wine. The music is pumping at times, but is also quiet when you need to listen to instructions. The time just flies… you dive right into painting and Carrie makes you feel very welcomed and artistic (even if you aren’t:). I’ve been wanting to take lessons forever — this was a nice quick reward to build my confidence and actually leave with a painting ready to hang — how cool is that. You gotta go. Enjoy.

I just went back yesterday for my second class with Carrie. I’m just shocked at how well my paintings have come out… she breaks it down so that it is so easy to follow along. For a person who has never painted in her life, this class has been just so much fun for me. I plan on going back since there are a few more paintings I want to try.
Carrie is such a great teacher, very receptive to what the class needs, and very kind! Supporting local artists is such a treat, the class is fun, and the studio is just fantastic!

me and a group of 6 people went for Van Gogh Vino. We were nervous that we wouldnt be good enough for the class, and let me say this. it sooooooooo didnt matter. Angie our instructor was BEYOND amazing. She made it incredibly fun, took us one step at a time, joked, laughed and danced with us, but still kept us on track and painting. Yolanda was also amazing, she went around giving key pointers to help us make our paintings better, and she was also playing some amazing music. the atmosphere is SUPER friendly, everyone become friends, and joked. Its an amazing time to take a group of people to. I cant recommend this place enough. The time flies by. its worth a visit. You will be very glad you came. Did I forget to mention you can bring your own wine and snacks? I mean really who can ask for more.

It was so fun! I found my inner artist, and he still needs help! Thank you Unilocal

Great concept… bring in a bottle of wine and learn to paint from a local artist! We walked in thinking we wouldnt be able to complete the task, but long behold we copied the sample art perfectly! This is great for a date or girls night! A must try

Carrie Curran Art Studios rock! If you want a fun experience that’s different, definitely check out Van Gogh Vino Night. The studio is so cute and Carrie is just awesome!!! They just opened but I hear they’re already making quite a buzz around town. Everyone needs to check this place out!
