Vine Gogh Artist Bar & Studio

A place to indulge in some of the finer things in life, Vine Gogh offers art instruction and libations to get the creative juices flowing. The Sellwood spot offers themed classes where students receive expert instruction while sipping on some vino (Vine Gogh is currently BYOB, but the Portland Bottle Shop is right next door). Suffice it to say that you won’t have any flashbacks to the silent, stressful painting class you took in college. Classes can focus on one particular work, including famous paintings like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” or on a more general theme, like the recent owl painting party. Groups can also book the space for private events and fundraisers. So, perhaps with a little help from a nice glass of red, unleash your inner artiste. Chad Walsh, 1/1/11
