“The Starry Night” is today one of the most recognizable paintings in the world that we are fortunate enough to visit at the Museum of Modern Art. Thanks to the expressive brushwork and use of movement in the sky, it not only evokes feelings, but also reflects Van Gogh’s emotional state and deeply personal vision of the night. Now, you can learn to recreate it in a unique setting at the luminous “Neon Brush Van Gogh” art workshops in NYC.
These fun, hands-on sessions will help you to bring his swirling skies and radiant stars to life at Cat Sports Pub in the Financial District. There is limited availability so make sure to secure your spot now to capture the magic of one of history’s most famous paintings.
What is “Neon Brush Van Gogh”?
The confines of the Saint-Rémy-de-Provence asylum did not stop the iconic Dutch artist from painting. Using oil paints on canvas, he brought to life the cloudy skies filled with stars and a luminous crescent moon, enhancing the natural scene he often viewed from his room’s window.
At “Neon Brush Van Gogh”, you too can go against the grain and recreate this colorful masterpiece using neon paints that shine bright like the stars. These 90-minute sip and paint workshops offer a vibrant atmosphere due to the retro UV lights and fluorescent colors. To top it all off, you can also purchase drinks at the venue to fuel your imagination.

These sessions invite you to channel your inner Van Gogh so the focus lies on expressing yourself. This means that you don’t need previous experience in painting to enjoy the creative process. For this reason, there will also be a professional artist on hand to help you recreate the post-impressionist artist’s expressive strokes, blend colors as well as other tricks of the trade.
Who is “Neon Brush Van Gogh” for?
Van Gogh’s brother called Vincent’s most famous masterpiece “the village in the moonlight”. It wasn’t until the artist’s death that we started to refer to it as “The Stars” and later “The Starry Night” (Sterrennacht in Dutch). Unfortunately, much like the artist himself, the painting was considered unconventional, deepening Van Gogh’s struggle with feelings of failure. His bold, expressive style was definitely ahead of its time and he proves that everyone can be an artist.
“Neon Brush Van Gogh” echoes this belief and encourages any adult – professional or newbie – to take part in these fun-filled workshops, starry-eyed and brush in hand. And who knows? You might awaken your inner artist and just like Vincent, even be celebrated one day as one of the most influential artists in history.
Light up your canvas with electric stars Van Gogh-style at this painting workshop, packed with creativity, laughter and a splash of color. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or a beginner, you’ll enjoy exploring the Dutch painter’s unique techniques in a relaxed setting.
The sessions take place at Cat Sports Pub on the weekends and you won’t want to miss out.
