What you'll do
Explore the colorful world of Henri Matisse and his late-career “cut-outs” in this hands-on art class in NYC.

Then, guided by a professional artist, you’ll paint, cut, and assemble your own abstract collage on board, experimenting with color and form to create a frame-worthy work of art.This beginner-friendly workshop is perfect for team-building events, birthday parties, or creative nights out. It’s designed to be approachable and stress-free, with an emphasis on process, play, and creative exploration. By the end of class, you and your group will have a colorful collection of Matisse-inspired collages to take home and display.Join us for an inspiring and relaxing creative experience, and discover why Matisse’s cut-outs remain some of the most joyful works of modern art.

Recent reviews of Henri Matisse Inspired Collage Workshop
- 5/5 from Lisa Safier, attended Mar 2025: Excellent!!! Everything from arranging the Matisse Inspired Collage Workshop to the two fantastic, enthusiastic instructors who led the session was top-notch and made for a memorable experience. This was a private class held at home to celebrate two birthdays in the family, and the group ranged in age from 17 to 94 years-old, including one person with Down Syndrome. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it - learning, creating, sharing, laughing, appreciating together this very special experience. Even people in the family who shy away from making art loved the workshop and made wonderful pieces. The workshop began with a visual presentation about Matisse that was inspiring and helped familiarize everyone with the techniques to be used in the ensuing workshop. All the materials were quality and arranged professionally in the workshop area/dining room. The instructors provided guidance on technigues throughout. The last part of the class was a show & tell, and it was meaningful to hear and appreciate each person's piece and creative thinking. The instructors cleaned up everything, and the dining room was quickly ready to serve the birthday dinner. The 94-year-old commented that this was one of his best birthday celebrations ever.
- 5/5 from Kyle Dropp, attended Sep 2023: Such a nice space and a really fun and unique way to spend a Friday night. Great date night activity! Will definitely be booking another of their classes. Love ArtsClub
- 5/5 from Ej O'Hara, attended Sep 2023: This was a fun and informative experience. The instructors were very knowledgeable and they provided a lot of interesting materials to create a unique artwork. Would do it again!
