Event Description
nspired by seaside markets, sun-soaked summers, playful illustration, and Mediterranean charm, La Dolce Mare is a relaxed paint and sip experience designed to celebrate creativity without pressure.
Guests will create vibrant coastal-inspired artwork featuring whimsical motifs like shells, sardines, lobsters, seaside florals, expressive borders, and colorful organic brushwork—all interpreted through an elevated, modern lens.
The evening will feature a guided painting session led by @maejaymarketplace, with creative direction and event styling by Breathing Stardust. Seasonal floral touches by @twosistersbouquetbar will bring softness, color, and texture into the space, creating an atmosphere that feels transportive, playful, and beautifully curated.
Think: striped linens, colorful palettes, seaside textures, Mediterranean summers, candlelight, wine glasses, and art that feels both joyful and expressive.
No painting experience is necessary. This gathering is less about perfection—and more about atmosphere, inspiration, and enjoying the creative process.
Come solo, with friends, or make it part of your summer ritual.
Who is it for
