Art Chaos, a new venture in Montreal's Mile End, is putting a fresh spin on the traditional sip-and-paint concept. You can splash paint on a canvas and give it a whirl to create unexpected decor during a date or on a night out with friends. The studio plans to add drinks to the mix, so you can unwind while stimulating both your palate and… palette.

The process is visually captivating and offers a hands-on art experience that is accessible, regardless of artistic skill.
