Calling all pint-sized Picassos and Jackson Pollock fans! You can now paint the town red — or green or purple — on your own canvas at The Splatter Studio.
Atlanta native Howard Krinsky, who also owns Binders Art Supplies & Frames at Piedmont Road and Ponce City Market, and brand manager Jenna Rees, launched the city’s first immersive, hands-on painting experience back in 2019.
Now, building on the splattering success of their Virginia Highland location, the pair is opening their second studio in Sandy Springs.
Located at 5920 Roswell Road, in the Parkside Shops, the studio — in its largest iteration yet — offers a unique experience, welcoming guests to a soaring, 9,000-square-feet of canvased floors, walls and ceilings.
“This concept is like watching moments of creativity at work with uninhibited sheer joy,” Krinsky says. “I’ve been in retail for over four decades and the paradigm is shifting to an experience-based exchange. Jenna brings the value as a brand manager for who we want to be and everything we do is intended.”
Rees draws inspiration from the action painters of the last century. “We are giving this nod to art history around the idea of experimenting with paint the way abstract expressionists did in the 1950s, using non-traditional tools to apply paint to the canvas,” she says. “The studio experience allows anyone to have that experience, let loose and enjoy the process of art making.”
This is not your paint-by-numbers, color-between-the-lines type of place. “Atlanta has really embraced the playful nature of The Splatter Studio and we’re excited about the opportunity to grow by offering our unique, immersive experience,” Rees adds.
“With such a large studio in Sandy Springs, we will be expanding our experiential offerings to include an exciting lineup of recurring events, themed nights and vibrant collaborations, as well as new menu options like 3D add-on items and the chance for guests to bring their own surfaces to paint on. We are looking forward to what this space will allow us to do as we continue to develop our brand and offer new ways for our guests to explore their creativity.”
Upon arrival, participants are outfitted in protective gear so they can safely paint with brushes, tools or their own two hands on the provided canvas or Splatter Studio t-shirt. The Sandy Springs studio will feature even more painting stations, larger canvas-wrapped walls and floors and a paint bar. Outside beverages will be permitted, and all guests will leave with an official Splatter Studio Take Home Box to easily transport their drying paintings, making it the ideal party favor or instant décor.
Sandy Springs painting sessions are now available through their website. For walk-ins, sessions will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. One-hour paint standard sessions includes everything you need ($55 per person fee). The Splatter Studio team, comprised of local Atlanta artists, are on hand during each session to offer tips, tricks and suggestions on different tools and techniques.
Reservations are available online at www.thesplatterstudio.com or by phone: 404-487-3820.
