Your place for painting and wine in Barcelona since 2017
Step-by-step painting classes with highly experienced art instructors.
A relaxed atmosphere and results you’ll feel proud to take home.
For more than 8 years we’ve welcomed locals, companies, and visitors from all over the world.
We don’t just hand you a brush, we teach you how to use it.
Art and Wine Classes
Our paint and wine 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 celebrate 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, the studio will be just for you. In a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, everyone paints step by step and leaves with their own finished artwork, along with the memory of a celebration that feels different, creative, and unforgettable.
The heart of Arte Bar
Arte Bar was born in 2017 from the vision of Bruce and Alisa (husband and wife), united by their passion for teaching and sharing art with others. From the very beginning, they wanted to create something new in Barcelona: a space where anyone could switch off, paint, and discover what’s possible with real guidance and a welcoming atmosphere.
Every painting taught at Arte Bar is an original work designed by Bruce, who brings more than 25 years of experience teaching art. His step-by-step instruction makes each class accessible, while Alisa takes care of every detail to ensure the studio feels warm, relaxed, and personal.
Arte Bar is much more than a studio, it’s the daily work and passion of its founders. It’s the place where people come to learn, laugh, connect, and experience something authentic and unforgettable.

What people say about Arte Bar
An amazing, fun and highly recommended experience! Don't worry if you're not good at painting, the teachers are lovely and they explain step by step how to paint your painting. Of course, you do not have to follow their instructions to the letter, you have complete freedom to do what you want. In our case, Mariana and Yoel treated us great, they were super attentive and advised us at all times. During the class, they bring out some snacks. Although the duration of the activity is 3 hours, time flies by and is enjoyable. Certainly an experience to repeat! - Sarah
The experience at Arte Bar was excellent. The teachers treated us very kindly and above all they taught us painting techniques in an easy and simple way. For all this I give them a 10. Congratulations on this artistic initiative available to everyone. Oh, and I was left with a beautiful painting that I already have hanging at home. - José

An incredible experience. Each session is different because it involves diverse representation. It is made so that people enjoy and above all realize that with a relaxed atmosphere and the excellent guidance of Bruce (in our case) your painting takes shape and, therefore, you create something unique and personal. It is undoubtedly an activity to repeat. - Paola
