If you’re spending time in Alicante and looking for a creative way to unwind, this Art Party offers a cheerful, no-pressure environment to get your artistic juices flowing. Hosted by the Artevivo, this 2-hour session combines painting, music, drinks, and good company to make for a memorable experience. Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone who just wants to shake off the stress and have a bit of fun, this activity promises a splash of color and a lot of laughs.
Three things we really like about this experience are how welcoming and inclusive it feels—no art skills required—, the variety of themes to choose from, and the multilingual guidance offered in English, Spanish, Ukrainian, and Russian. The lively atmosphere, along with curated playlists and social vibe, makes it suitable for anyone wanting a relaxed, creative outing.
One possible consideration is that you’re advised to wear clothes you don’t mind getting paint on—which is typical of painting workshops but worth noting if you’re planning to come straight from sightseeing.
