About Us
Since 2016, Canvas Culture LLC has been creating spaces where art, culture, and connection come together in powerful and transformative ways.
Before becoming Canvas Culture LLC, we were formally operating as Sip & Paint NYC, where we helped pioneer the modern sip-and-paint experience—curating vibrant, community-centered events that made creativity accessible, social, and deeply meaningful.
In 2020, Canvas Culture LLC was officially incorporated, expanding beyond paint events into a full-service creative wellness brand. Today, we design and facilitate immersive experiences including sip & paints, candle-making workshops, team-building activations, retreats, and personal development programs rooted in healing and self-expression.
Led by a Certified Therapeutic Art Life Coach, our work goes beyond the canvas—creating intentional spaces where individuals and organizations can reconnect, reflect, and grow.
Our impact has reached communities across New York City and beyond, and we are proud to have been featured on News 12 Bronx for our community work, highlighting our commitment to using art as a tool for empowerment and connection.
At Canvas Culture LLC, we believe creativity is more than something you do—it’s who you are.
You are the artist. You are the masterpiece.
Create. Connect. Express.
