Arteastiq
One of the OG art jamming studios in Singapore, Arteastiq offers an easy, accessible and affordable lifestyle experience for locals looking to try their hand at painting. Simply freestyle paint during various daily sessions and receive a canvas, unlimited acrylic paint, paint brushes, a palette and even a complimentary beverage from Arteastiq Boutique Tea House when you do so.

Artefakts
Unleash your inner Picasso at Artefakts, a contemporary artists’ studio and craft workshop in Singapore. Welcoming everyone from budding artists to seasoned creatives, all can pursue their artistic passion at Artefakts when they take up classes like art jamming and printmaking.
At the Artefakts Art Jamming Session, express your creativity and paint away—but fret not, beginners can still ask for advice and help from around the studio. Your canvas size of choice will determine the class price; choose between a 30cm by 30cm canvas ($40) or a 40cm by 50cm canvas at $50. It’s two and a half hours per session and each additional hour will set you back another $10-$15. All the materials are provided too.
Cafe de Paris
A popular choice among couples already shopping and dining in town, Cafe de Paris is pretty perfect for that leisurely afternoon paint sesh. Enjoy a three-hour free and easy art jamming affair at the Korean-inspired cafe for just $28 nett; materials provided include reference pictures, blank canvas, acrylic paint, brushes, stationery, palette knife, sponges and aprons. Do note that no guidance will be offered here and no sharing canvas is allowed. More information available here.
