Sea Zen Art Gallery and Paint & Sip, Belmar

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
We are not just an everyday "Paint & Sip." Our location is gorgeous, filled with original ocean inspired paintings and photography and our instructors are outgoing, fun, and know how to host a party! We have made a warm atmosphere for a high end art gallery so customers do not feel intimidated.

What is the experience customers can expect?
When you arrive you are welcomed by our friendly staff. You can bring drinks and snacks and our amazing staff will help you get settled. Then, our instructors will guide you step by step through a painting and you get to leave with your very own masterpiece.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
Our owner Jay Alders is an amazing artist but found that most art galleries can feel stuffy and snobby and people are intimidated to enter. We wanted a creative space for painting, music and events where we can also hang incredible art for purchase.

What do you love most about your job?
I love the people I meet everyday! We have so many incredible customers and guests coming by everyday and every one of them is fascinating and makes our jobs great. Whether they have an appreciation for art or just love the ocean, we always have a great crowd.
