Testimonial
"You can watch tutorial after tutorial, but there’s nothing like experiencing the real thing. That’s how I felt painting a mural from start to finish with Andrea and the rest of the mural meetup artists. Not only did I completely push myself out of my comfort zone, but I learned quite literally anything and everything I could ever need to know about mural painting - on top of connecting with likeminded artists and forming lasting connections. Andrea and her husband are such great hosts and make you feel right at home! I can’t recommend this enough for new and aspiring muralists :)"
