HOME OF CREATIVE ESCAPES IN MINNEAPOLIS

The Twin Cities’ Destination for Mystery Paint & Sip Experiences

Paint. Sip. Solve.™

WELCOME TO OYA ARTS

Welcome to our Northeast Minneapolis studio, where creativity meets mystery, connection, and unforgettable experiences.

At Oya Arts, you might solve a murder, uncover a secret mission, or take on a high-energy Pass the Paint Party — all while creating your own work of art. From immersive mystery paint-and-sips to collaborative team experiences, everything we do is designed to bring people together in a way that feels fresh, interactive, and memorable.

We don’t just host events. We create experiences you become part of.

YOUR CREATIVITY MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Every time you book an experience, attend an event, or make a purchase with Oya Arts, you’re helping us fund free, regular art sessions for young people and their families in foster and adoptive care.

We believe everyone deserves a space to create, connect, express themselves, and simply enjoy being together. Your support helps us make that possible.

Come for the experience. Leave knowing you’ve helped create one for someone else.

A VERY BRITISH HANGOUT IN MINNEAPOLIS

NEW · EVERY WEDNESDAY · NORTHRUP KING BUILDING

Weekly Wednesday Drop In 2-8pm

Art supplies, a co-working space, bottomless tea and board games: all included. Oh, and a little midweek mystery to solve, if you fancy it.

Pop in after work or settle in for a long, lazy afternoon. Splash some paint about. Tackle your inbox with a proper cuppa at your elbow. Challenge a friend to Jenga and lose gracefully. Or do absolutely nothing, beautifully. Just bring yourself. The kettle’s already on.

Wednesdays, 2–8 PM · Oya Arts Studio 265

UPCOMING EXPERIENCES

PASS THE PAINT PARTY

Saturday, November 7: 6 PM - 8:00 PM Graze Food Hall, Minneapolis

Like musical chairs… but every time the music stops, you pass your canvas.

Looking for a night out that’s actually different?

PASS THE PAINT PARTY is a one-of-a-kind social painting experience where creativity, music, and good vibes come together for an unforgettable evening.

Grab your complimentary drink, settle in with friends, and put your own spin on a blank canvas. Then, every time the DJ drops the cue, pass it to the next person and watch the magic happen.

As the canvases move around the room, paintings take unexpected turns, conversations start, laughter spreads, and complete strangers become part of the same masterpiece.

WHAT SETS US APART

At Oya Arts, painting is just the beginning.

Through interactive gameplay, dynamic music, and guided creativity, Oya Arts transforms the traditional night out into an unforgettable, storytelling event that people talk about long after the paint dries.
