Creative Juice, Inc., Tucson

Looking through the lofty windows of the Creative Juice studio, passersby can make out rows of painters hunched over canvases with their paintbrushes in hand. Seasoned art instructors walk up and down the cool tiled floor, guiding students through the painting process amid the strains of soothing music. As they labor over their depictions of angels, wine bottles, or lighthouses, adult students sip on glasses of beer and wine purchased from the studio. During child and teen classes, kids tackle canvases while refueling with soda and snacks. The studio also hosts private parties, ideal for birthday celebrators, fundraising groups, or rugby teams hoping to explore their sensitive sides.
