January 5, 2016 – Somerville, MA – Muse Paintbar is now open at Assembly Row in Somerville (461 Artisan Way).

Muse Paintbar’s popularity can be attributed to its lovable and novel experience: the ability for beginner and advanced painters alike to tap into their creativity in a relaxed social setting. Guests create a painting with detailed guidance and encouragement from a local artist; as they paint, they can enjoy beer and wine as well as small bites. Muse Paintbar also offers special events such as Couples’ Nights and Family Days, and private parties for events ranging from bachelorettes, girls’ nights out, children’s birthdays, and corporate team building sessions. Muse is managed by president and co-founder, Stan Finch, a graduate of Harvard Business School and Vanessa Leigh, co-founder and lead artist.
“We are experiencing an exciting growth year. Opening at Assembly Row signifies a smart and thoughtful expansion to an area just north of Boston that will appreciate Muse’s unique combination of entertainment and art,” says Co-Founder Stan Finch.
Muse Paintbar’s location at Assembly Row was a natural fit – the development was named one of Boston Globe Magazine’s 2015 “Game Changers,” and Boston Business Journal deemed it among the “transformative projects shaping Greater Boston.” Muse Paintbar will add to phenomenal entertainment offerings and will join a total of over 30 national branded retail outlets and 15 eateries. Located just three miles north of Boston and accessible by the Assembly Row T stop on the Orange Line, Muse Paintbar will nicely fit into the Somerville’s artistic culture while also being located just minutes from the city.
“Muse allows local artists to share our passion and create art in a fun, relaxed atmosphere,” said Vanessa Leigh, co-founder and lead artist of Muse Paintbar. “Art can be intimidating, but we break down barriers by providing simple directions that allow people to gain confidence. By the end of the session, they’ve had fun and can take home an original work of art.”
