Mess Hall Arts

At Mess Hall Arts our specialty is messy art, the kind of art you don’t want to do at home! But what exactly does that mean?

We embrace all things art that are messy from splattering, pouring, rolling, smearing, scraping to piping and finger painting. We encourage imagination, creativity and exploration of mess.

Our primary medium is paint, we love to get paint on our hands. But we love doing all types of art. We focus heavily on the creative abstract arts allowing artists to see art from their own unique interpretation. No two pieces of art look a like at Mess Hall Arts. The beauty of abstract art is no prior experience or skills required! Anyone can be an artist!

When you come to one of our art experiences, be that a birthday party, private event, field trip, neon or one of our kids art programs, you’re in charge of the product you create. There’s no right or wrong way to make art at Mess Hall Arts and thats the way we like it.
