About Us

The Art Bar is a small, independently owned, social painting venue, located in West Fargo, ND. We are founded based on the belief that everyone has a creative side and we all deserve a little fun!

Our venue is small enough that our artists can provide encouraging instruction but large enough to accommodate private parties. Our artists enjoy expressing themselves through art and color and can't wait to help you create your own masterpiece to take home and hang or give as a gift!

Check out our monthly calendar and pick a picture that speaks to you. Reserve your seat(s) and pay online using our secure site. We provide the canvas, brushes, aprons, and easels. Like and follow us on Facebook for the most current events, information about what's happening in the studio, and to see what people are painting in their classes.
