ART Provides

Art Provides, in addition to being an art gallery, also runs group art creation events through the label Creative Art Spa. This is my review for the Creative Art Spa experience: The bottom line is I loved it and I can't wait for them to host another event! I understand that in addition to painting they'll be working through other mediums like sculpture and flower arranging, and after seeing what these folks could help a hunch of amateurs create in a few hours I'm confident that I could enjoy any medium they chose. The company I work for hosted a socially distanced open air paint night where the Creative Art Spa team walked us through how to create a spooky twist on Starry Night for Halloween. I got the impression that if you didn't consider social distancing important they'd also accommodate you with a standard event. I've included my painting below. Before you let the quality reflect on Art Provides know that I consider myself a terrible artist, so being able to produce something I felt comfortable posting online speaks to the fact that the CAS team did a great job of choosing a medium and project scope that allowed me to create something passable in a few hours of fun. The graphic artist on our team created real masterpiece that I hope he'll post as well. Everyone loved the event. The CAS team provided all the materials and walked us through step-by-step as we created our art pieces at our own pace. A finished painting was provided for reference, and the live instructions made it easy to follow along, with time built in to correct mistakes and add little flourishes as we went. In addition to being informative and easy to follow our instructor was gregarious and charming, setting the lighthearted and fun tone of the evening. It takes a lot of work to get a team to bond while they're socially distancing, so it was amazing that we all left satisfied and more connected. Clean up was handled for us and anytime anybody needed anything (more paint, new brush, private advice, etc.) Someone was right there to help them. This whole experience left me immensely interested in what Art Provides will be doing in the future, and I hope the rest of the St George downtown arts district can take notes from them in terms of making beautiful art fun and accessible going forward.

This place was amazing! Went to art spa night and had an option for you to get a massage, there was yummy refreshments, great live music, a short relaxing meditation session, and the watercolor painting just topped it off!! Elizabeth was an amazing host! she was so positive and had such a great meditation session. She helped give us ideas of what to paint, how to use the paint, etc and made sure everyone was enjoying their time. The whole experience was just so relaxing and way fun !! would definitely recommend :)
