Dates

• Sunday, November 2nd | 4 – 6 PM

(Recurring community event)

Location

Tunnel Visual Studio | Downtown LA

In honor of Día de los Muertos, we invite you to a peaceful, healing evening of painting, sipping, and self-expression inside our creative loft in Downtown LA.

Led by multi-media artist , this session blends art, reflection, and community connection. You’ll explore abstract painting as a form of emotional release, using color, motion, and intuition to transform pain into beauty.

This isn’t just a paint-and-sip, it’s a healing art circle.

Bring a photo or small item representing a person, pet, or chapter of life you’ve lost. Through abstract painting, you’ll express what words often can’t and connect with others on the same path of healing and remembrance.

You’ll be guided through:

• The meaning of abstract art and how to paint from emotion, not perfection

• A grounding group introduction - share your name, your photo or item, and what “loss” and “healing” mean to you

• A mindful painting session with gentle music and calm studio energy

• Canvas, paint, brushes, and all art supplies

• Guided instruction and creative support from the artist

• Your choice of espresso, tea, or mimosa (depending on ticket tier)

• Connection, reflection, and a creative reset

This is a safe, peaceful, community-based environment, perfect for both groups and individuals.

You’re more than welcome to come solo; in fact, it’s encouraged. Many attendees come alone to reconnect with themselves, meet kind creative souls, and simply be.

• Bring a photo or item that symbolizes a loss, memory, or transition

• Wear something you can paint in

• Arrive a few minutes early to settle in and sip
