This is your night to prove them wrong — or maybe right — but definitely have fun
About this Event
Picasso had his blue period. Churchill painted to relax. Some of us… well, our art careers ended in primary school when someone told us our stick figures were “creative”.
Ugly Mug Night is your redemption arc.
Join us at Papelon Melbourne on Tuesday, 18 November, for an evening where artistic talent is optional but good vibes are guaranteed.
In two joyful hours, you’ll:
🎨 Turn your “bad” drawings into gloriously unique mugs
🌮 Enjoy tacos and papelón in the cosy warmth of a Latin restaurant
🎁 Create the perfect imperfect Christmas gift (even if it’s for yourself)
No rules, no judgment — just laughter, food, and a little artistic chaos.
Come alone or bring your amigos — everyone leaves with an ugly masterpiece and a good story.
Oh...one thing more!
Because creativity deserves a good soundtrack, each guest is invited to add one song to our shared Spotify playlist, so together we’ll build the perfect soundtrack for the night.
Expect everything from salsa to pop, depending on who shows up!
