GeneralWhat should I Wear?
You'll get an apron when you check in. Plus, all the paints are water-based acrylics and they wash off easily. So go ahead, wear your favorite sweater/pair of jeans/prom dress. Where do I park?
The studio is located at 1815 E Kenilworth Place. There is plenty of metered street parking right around the space, and free parking if you are willing to walk a block or two. A map and other parking options is available on our CONTACT page. Any advice for celebrations?
Drink. Paint. What else is there?? Seriously, though, we want to give you the celebration of the century. Be sure to pre-order a celebration apron (including Bride-to-be, Paint Princess, and It's My Birthday). With a little advance notice, we'll have your aprons set out and the champagne on ice when you arrive. What payment methods do you accept?
Visa, MasterCard, Discover, AMEX, cash. We do not accept personal checks. We reserve the right to decline $50 and $100 bills. Is Splash handicap accessible?
Yep. What is your cancellation policy?

Can I host a private event at splash studio?
Splash is really a perfect venue for private events. We can help plan birthday parties, corporate outings, holiday parties, team building sessions, showers, bachelor/bachelorette parties, sorority/fraternity socials, family reunions, graduation parties... you get the idea. See our Private Events page for details. Mini-PaintingWhat is a mini-painting?
Mini-paintings are tiny slices of Splash Studio heaven all wrapped up in a small canvas or wood project. We'll serve you your drinks, canvas/wood, and materials. Your painting experience is self-guided (wood stencil projects include written instructions). Mini-paintings are first-come, first-served, and we don't take advance reservations for minis. (We do allow call ahead seating as early as an hour prior to your arrival; call 414.882.7621 to be added to the Call Ahead List). CAN I do MINI-PAINTING DURING A SESSION?
You sure can. Remember, we're a bar, so come on in whenever you want (well, whenever we're open). CAN I make a reservation to mini-paint?
No, mini-paintings are first-come, first-served. We don't take reservations for mini-paintings. However, we do allow call-ahead seating for mini-painters. Feel free to call us at 414.882.7621 as early as 60 minutes prior to your arrival, and if we have immediate seating available, we will get everything set up for you so that you'll be ready to rock when you get here. |
Splash SessionsWhat if I have never painted before?
Not a problem. (Seriously.) A Splash Artist will walk you through the featured painting of the session, so you can follow along if you want some ideas about colors or techniques. Plus, it's a bar, so even if you're just there to be inspired by the art, you'll still have a good time. DO I NEED TO SIGN UP IN ADVANCE?
It helps a lot when we know how many canvases/wood boards we'll need. Then you're sure to have a spot when you come in, too. Browse our calendar to pick your project and date, or feel free to send us an email if you still have questions before you're ready to reserve. CAN my friends and I SIT TOGETHER?
Absolutely. We'll assume that multiple people on the same reservation will want to sit together. If you are reserving separately, just give us a heads up in the notes section when you make your reservations. We'll make it happen. HOW MUCH DOES A SPLASH SESSION COST?
All standard canvas sessions are $30 per person, and wood projects are $35 per person. Some specialty sessions have different prices. Please click the "Reserve" button to see specific pricing. Everything you need is included - canvas or wood board, easel, paint, brushes/tools, and apron. You get to take your project home at the end, and we do the cleanup. SHOULD I PLAN TO TIP THE ARTIST?
We are a team-based facility. All tips are pooled and divided equitably in a valid tip pool arrangement. You can hand your tip to anyone, and the team as a whole will be rewarded. Thank you! ARE THERE ANY AGE RESTRICTIONS?
