Learn to Paint.
Enjoy the Process.
Be Proud of What You Create.
Step by step painting classes led by an experienced artist and teacher. A relaxed atmosphere where you're guided through the process of creating a painting you'll genuinely want to hang on your wall.
For 10 years, our Barcelona studio has welcomed locals, corporate teams and visitors from around the world. We closed our doors on October 31, 2026, marking the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.
Arte Bar continues with pop up painting classes and private events at selected venues in Barcelona and the surrounding areas, bringing our relaxed atmosphere and experienced teaching to new spaces.
Prefer painting from home? Join our Painting of the Month Club and enjoy step by step online painting classes, with access to all our lessons so you can paint at your own pace, wherever you are.
We don’t just hand you a brush, we teach you how to use it.
Painting Classes
Our painting classes are three hours to disconnect and do something different. You do not need any prior experience. In a welcoming atmosphere you will be guided step by step to create your version of the featured painting and you will learn techniques such as mixing colors, blending, and adding light and shadow. At the end you will leave with a painting you can feel proud of and the memory of three hours that flew by.
Painting of the Month Club
Our Online Painting Club is a special way to take time for yourself and reconnect with creativity. Each month you receive a new step by step painting class that you can do from home, at your own pace and without pressure. With access to all past lessons, live sessions, and technique videos, you will learn, relax, and enjoy a creative space designed just for you.
Team Building
Our team building events are designed to bring colleagues together in a relaxed and creative way. Teams step away from routine, spend time together, and create something to remember. Sometimes each person paints their own canvas to take home, and other times the group works side by side on a collective piece that stays in the office as a lasting memory. Whatever the format, the goal is always to connect, enjoy the process, and leave with a shared memory.
Private Classes
Our private classes are a special way to be with the people who matter most. Whether it’s a birthday, an anniversary, a bachelorette party, or simply a group of friends wanting to spend time together. Everyone will learn to paint the chosen painting step by step and leaves with their own finished artwork, along with the memory that feels different, creative, and unforgettable.
The heart of Arte Bar
Arte Bar was founded in Barcelona in 2017 by husband and wife Bruce and Alisa, with a shared passion for art, teaching and bringing people together. Their idea was simple: create a place where people could step away from everyday life, learn to paint and discover what they could achieve with the right guidance.
Over the years, Arte Bar welcomed thousands of people to its Barcelona studio, from local residents and visitors from around the world to private groups and corporate teams. On October 31, 2026, the studio closed its doors after 10 wonderful years, but Arte Bar continues in a new format.
Every painting taught at Arte Bar is an original design by Bruce, an artist and teacher with more than 25 years of experience. His clear, step by step approach makes painting accessible, even for people who haven't picked up a paintbrush in years. Alisa brings her experience in creating welcoming, relaxed experiences where people can feel comfortable, learn something new and enjoy the process.
Today, Arte Bar brings people together through pop up painting classes and private events at selected venues in Barcelona and the surrounding areas, as well as the Painting of the Month Club, where people can learn and paint from home, wherever they are.
The setting may have changed, but what matters to us hasn't: good teaching, a relaxed atmosphere and helping people feel genuinely proud of what they create.
