WHAT SETS US APART

We’re not your average paint and sip studio.
A lot of places say that. At Oya Arts, it’s actually true.

One night, you might find yourself whisked back to the 1980s, solving a murder with neon clues, questionable alibis, and a painting that somehow keeps progressing while the plot thickens. Another time, you could be laughing your way through a giant collaborative artwork, cracking prompts, or creating a mural that captures your team’s personality — quirks included.

That’s Paint. Sip. Solve.™
You paint. You sip. And before you know it, you’re wrapped up in a mystery, a challenge, or a shared moment that works best when people jump in, toss ideas around, and figure things out together.

Sometimes it’s playful.
Sometimes it’s surprising.
But it is always fun.
