Neon Paint – Painting and Wine in the Dark in Krakow
If you’re looking for an evening that combines a splash of creativity with good wine and a relaxed vibe, Neon Paint in Krakow could be just what you need. This isn’t your typical art class — it’s a lively, glow-in-the-dark experience that promises fun, laughter, and a bit of artistic chaos. We haven’t tried it ourselves, but based on what’s on offer, it seems like a playful way to unwind, meet new people, and maybe even discover a hidden talent.
What we really like about this experience is how accessible it is. No painting skills are required — just a willingness to let loose and enjoy yourself. Plus, the unlimited wine and tasty snacks add a social, carefree element that makes it feel more like a night out with friends, rather than a formal art lesson. On the flip side, a potential consideration for some is that the activity is primarily in Polish, so language might be a barrier if you’re not familiar. Still, it’s likely to be a hit for anyone wanting a relaxed, unique way to spend an evening in Krakow, especially if you love wine and a bit of creative silliness.

What Is This Experience Exactly?

Imagine stepping into a space that looks like a scene from a sci-fi movie — glowing walls, neon lights, and a lively buzz. That’s what you get with Neon Paint in Krakow. Over two hours, you’ll be guided by a professional artist, a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts, who will help you create a 40 x 50 cm masterpiece that glows in the dark. The goal isn’t to produce a perfect painting but to have fun, experiment with colors, and come away with a piece you’re proud of — or at least amused by.
This event combines painting, wine, and socializing into one package. As you work on your canvas, you’ll sip white or red wine freely, complemented by delicious snacks like cheeses, nuts, and grapes. The ambiance is designed to be supportive and inspiring, perfect for those who might be nervous about their artistic skills but want to try something different.
The Creative Process and the Setting

The space is decorated to resemble a fluorescent wonderland — the entire room from floor to ceiling is covered in glowing colors. The lighting and sound effects intensify the atmosphere, making it feel less like a typical art class and more like a lively party. The facilitator will guide you step by step, so there’s no pressure to be a Picasso or even to understand color theory. The emphasis is on enjoyment, not mastery.
As one review mentioned, “We loved the way the instructor kept the mood light and encouraging, which made the whole experience enjoyable, even for absolute beginners.” Expect lines, dots, and shapes turning into a light-catching masterpiece, with plenty of laughs along the way.
What You Get for $55

The price covers a lot: unlimited wine (white and red), a full painting kit including an easel, canvas, acrylic paints, brushes, palette, and apron, plus the support of a professional artist. You also leave with your own 40 x 50 cm glow-in-the-dark artwork — a fun souvenir that’s sure to spark conversations or serve as a quirky decoration.
Food-wise, the snacks alone are worth mentioning: a good variety of cheeses, nuts, and grapes, which keep your palate happy as you paint and sip. The event feels well-rounded, balancing artistic activity with social and culinary delights.
