What You'll Get
Like the Earth's molten core, mole people, and Tigerbeat magazine collections, some dinners are best kept underground. Savor a secret smorgasbord with today’s Groupon: for $99, you get two passes to an underground dining experience and painting workshop at Art Rebel, in Sherman Oaks (a $300 value).
Art Rebel is a forward-thinking creative collective whose mission is to help people reconnect with their right-brain skills through unusual events, classes, and community outreach. Held monthly, Art Rebel’s underground dinners fill three hours with lip-smacking food, foot-tapping music, and muse-tickling painting. Pull up a chair at the studio’s long, communal dining table and await the comestible conundrum that is in store. Although this emporium of eclecticism prefers to keep its three-course feast a secret, they guarantee the meal’s tastiness. As cutlery sparks against flatware with a flirtatious ferocity, strike up a conversation with one of the countless rabble of professional and amateur artists in attendance.
After plates are cleaned and a staffer’s mother excuses you from the table, the dinner party devolves into an oil-based, canvas-covering hootenanny. Regardless of skill level, each participant is encouraged to create a personal masterpiece, which they get to take home as a souvenir, or as a large, colorful distraction for free-roaming bulls.

About Art Rebel
"One man's trash is another man's treasure" may be an overused saying to some, but to Art Rebel's crew of painters, it's a mantra. The instructors believe in dreaming up creative solutions to help the environment, and that includes teaching their students how to transform discarded items into masterpieces during eco-art classes. Nontoxic, eco-friendly paints grace paper and canvases in a variety of sessions with different themes, from graffiti-art to cartooning. Elsewhere, beautification meets youth outreach when Art Rebel's team teaches children how to paint public works and encrust their favorite foursquare court with bottle caps.
