This is not your average paint night. We’ll provide everything you need to unleash your inner artist: canvases, paints, brushes, wine, bubbly, and light snacks. You just bring your gorgeous self, a flirty outfit (or none at all—we’ve got aprons!), and an open mind.

Whether you’re flying solo, bringing a boo, or wrangling your whole polycule, Nips and Sips is a space to create, connect, and indulge your senses in a queer, body-positive, and consent-focused atmosphere. No artistic experience needed—just a willingness to get a little messy and a lot inspired.

✨ Please note: This is not a play party. This is a sexy vibe, not a sexy-time space. We're here to paint, sip, and mingle—not to hook up. Think playful and flirty, not full-on frisky.

What to Expect:

🎨 A relaxed, sexy paint session on canvas (no live nudes—unless it’s you!)

🍷 Delicious wine, bubbly, and light bites (feel free to bring something to share)

🍹 Try our Smocktail – our mocktail inspired by the art! Sip as-is or spike it yourself to taste.

🎶 A sexy, vibey soundtrack

💋 Flirty fun, artful energy, and a welcoming community

All gender identities, sexual orientations, relationship styles, races, ethnicities, body shapes, roles, and experience levels are welcomed and celebrated. We're committed to fostering a diverse and respectful environment. Any conduct or language contradicting this ethos will not be accepted at our events.
