Alexandra Strashko designs every evening herself and hosts most of them.
She trained as an artist and as an art historian, and has spent the last ten years teaching — first classes, then the kind of evening people come to for the room as much as for the drawing. The art history is not decoration: every Art Wednesday starts from a real painter and a real idea, which is what separates a session from a paint-along.
She works with a small group of artists and models she has hosted with for years. Nothing is subcontracted out to whoever is free that night.
Art Wednesday every week and Secret Salon once a month, open to anyone.
Birthdays, bachelorette and bachelor parties, anniversaries, friends’ nights.
Offsites, year-end evenings, client events and brand launches, from 10 to 100+ guests.
A theme, not a template
Every Wednesday is built around a specific painter or idea, with the art history behind it. That is the difference between a class and a paint-along.
Individual guidance
The artist moves between people rather than demonstrating at the front. Beginners and working artists sit at the same table and both get something out of it.
The room is half of it
Lighting, music, how the tables are laid. Nobody notices it when it is right, and everybody notices when it is not.
We run in public
Art Wednesday and Secret Salon are open to anyone. It keeps the format honest — you can come and see it before you hire it.
Come to a Wednesday before you book anything.
