Paint and Sip Night at The Hyatt Regency Grain Bar

Join us for an unforgettable evening of creativity and connection at the Hyatt Regency Grain Bar. Enjoy delicious food and drinks while exploring your artistic side in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're coming with friends or looking to meet new people, this is the perfect night to unwind, create, and have fun.

Guided by the Vancouver Visual Art Foundation, you’ll be introduced to the mesmerizing world of alcohol ink painting—a vibrant, fluid medium known for its rich colour and organic, dreamlike movement. No prior experience is needed—this is part of the magic. Just bring your curiosity and enjoy the process.

Using alcohol inks on Yupo paper (a non-absorbent surface), you’ll watch colours flow, blend, and transform in unexpected and beautiful ways. Unlike traditional paints, alcohol inks can be reactivated, allowing you to continue shaping and evolving your piece throughout the session.

Come sip, create, and experience the joy of making something truly unique. Please bring paint clothes or an apron can be provided.

About the Instructor:

Taisha Teal has exhibited all over Vancouver and Internationally. She loves painting live at charity events and volunteers her spare time with children in need. She has been an artist all her life, starting with when she could play with her food. Taisha’s mother is an artist so her childhood was surrounded by all different kinds of art. Every birthday she had when she younger was like an art program, she had sections in their house for clay-making, beading, sewing, painting, drawing, cake decorating, basically, you name it, she did it!

Taisha is a certified Art Therapist, Artist and professional member of the Canadian Art Therapy Association. She has a BA in Psychology from Simon Fraser University, an Art Therapy Diploma from the Vancouver Art Therapy Institute, and is currently continuing studies at Emily Carr University as an Artist. Taisha is represented by Hollyburn Gallery in West Vancouver and Art Vancouver Gallery in the Bentall Centre.

Taisha’s vision with art is to induce positive emotions and radiate inspiration with every brush stroke, to expose the creativity in everyone. Art gives meaning to our lives and helps us understand our world. It is an essential part of our culture because it allows us to have a deeper understanding of our emotions; it increases our self-awareness and allows us to be open to new ideas and experiences.
