What we’re about
✨ Art Club – A Creative Night Out (No Experience Needed)
Ever wanted to make art without pressure, judgment, or needing to be “good at it”?
Art Club is a relaxed, guided creative evening where you’ll make your own original artwork, enjoy a drink, and meet new people, even if you’ve never picked up a paintbrush before.
This isn’t an art class.
It’s a fun, social night where creativity is the name of the game.
Join an Art Club event to tap into your creativity while connecting with others.
What to expect
- A guided creative session where you’re gently led step-by-step
- A new theme each event, explored through different techniques and materials
- A cozy, social atmosphere. Come solo or with friends
- Leave with a finished unique piece of art
No pressure. No perfection. Just creating something that’s uniquely yours.
Art + Drinks
Art Club takes place at Leidse Lente, a bar, restaurant, and cultural venue in Leiden.
You’re welcome to grab a coffee, wine, or beer (or dinner!) while creating.
👉 Drinks and food are available from the venue and not included in the ticket.
📍Culture Cafe Leidse Lente, Haagweg 4, Leiden
Who is it for?
- Total beginners (most people have never painted before)
- Anyone craving a creative outlet
- People looking to meet others in a low-pressure, fun way
- Anyone who wants a better alternative to just “another drink at a bar”

Feel free to bring your own sketchbook or favorite materials if you like.

Beginner-Friendly Collage Night to Kick Off 2026 ✂️
Leidse Lente, Haagweg 4A11, http://galeriecafeleidselente.nl, Leiden, NLFeel like starting 2026 with something creative, low-pressure, and fun?
Join us for a cozy collage-making night designed for beginners, and anyone who just wants a relaxed creative reset.
We’ll be creating collages inspired by the theme of the New Year. Think vision boards, playful experimenting, and letting your imagination run free ✂️💭

➡️ Step-by-step guidance
➡️ Chill music, good vibes, and easy conversation
➡️ Leave with a finished collage, and tap into your 2026 goals
➡️ Most people who attend haven’t made art in years (and that’s exactly who this is for)
Why this night is special:
- Small group (limited seats so it stays intimate)
- Zero pressure, zero judgment
- A creative way to set the tone for the new year
Book your spot
To keep the experience interactive and engaging, attendance is limited to 12 participants.
