About this Event
Dinner. Art. Conversation.
Join us for an intimate monthly supper series at The Breakfast Club, bringing together local artists, conversation, creativity, and a curated dining experience.
Each edition of Art Supper is hosted by a featured artist and designed to offer a relaxed, inspiring alternative to the usual Saturday night out.
Alongside the evening event, each edition launches a month-long exhibition of the featured artist’s work within the venue, with pieces available to view and purchase during the event and throughout the exhibition period.
This month’s exhibition runs from 1–31 August.
This month’s event is hosted by Jaiya Bhandari.

This Month’s Workshop: Finding Creativity
Finding Creativity is a guided painting workshop designed to return participants to a child-like sense of creative freedom, curiosity and playfulness.
Working from a still life setup, participants will learn practical acrylic painting techniques alongside experiencing playful creativity-finding processes.
The session balances colour theory and how to use the colour wheel effectively, with games designed to shift the focus away from outcomes and perfection, encouraging experimentation, relaxation, and a child-like sense of creative freedom and wonderment.
The aim is to help participants step out of structured thinking, reconnect with instinct, and rediscover creativity as something exploratory, joyful, and accessible.
Guests will leave with:
- A finished still life acrylic painting
- Practical understanding of basic colour theory and acrylic techniques
- A more relaxed, confident approach to creativity and experimentation
No experience needed — this workshop is open to everyone.
