Paint and Sip takes place on the ground floor of the market (where the food vendors are located) with a nice long table set-up. Curating the experience is Hillary Idiabolo, Galaletsang Nokwane, and Tariro Kandawasvika from K.art243 (Kinshasa Art 243). Hillary Idiabolo started offering the Paint and Sip experience in Kinshasa, Congo hence 243 (area code for Congo), and now also operates in Johannesburg. These three lovely people are there to help you unleash you find your talents for painting.
The experience kicks off with a cocktail to get the creative juices flowing before the sketching and then painting starts. Socialising with your other fellow painters is all part of the fun. You are also free to take a breather and purchase drinks from the market during the session. What makes this all the more enjoyable is that no artistic ability or experience is necessary, so no need to be intimidated by anyone who seems to be doing better than you.
Once you've completed your masterpiece stay on to enjoy the live music, DJs, delicious food selection and lively rooftop party vibe upstairs.
The market is open 10:00–18:00. Paint and Sip sessions at 13:30–16:00.
