Inner Artist

Art can be intimidating, says Muse Paintbar cofounder Vanessa Leigh, who is on a mission to help the timid creatives among us develop more confidence when we face a blank canvas. At the new Muse location in South Norwalk (the second in the state), she provides simple direction to make new artists more comfortable. And if that direct and expert instruction isn’t enough to get you to relax, there’s food and wine, too, all to help you loosen up those inhibitions. A great spot to bring a group of new acquaintances or old friends, Muse offers guests the chance to create a piece of art they can be proud of in a venue that’s entertaining for all. musepaintbar.com
