OUR STORY TRAVELS FURTHER THAN YOU THINK
From London to the Caribbean to Minneapolis—Oya Arts brings a global twist to paint and sip.
Oya Arts was born in London, expanded through Barbados, and now calls the Twin Cities home.
From beach bars to warehouse studios, we’ve built immersive art experiences that span continents — but the stories we tell are 100% original, crafted in-house by co-founders Karen and Tierre Caldwell.
And when we say immersive, we mean it. Karen spent a decade with the Metropolitan Police in London — five of those years investigating real-life murders. So when you step into one of our mystery nights, you’re not just painting… you’re entering a world shaped by true investigative insight, creative brilliance, and a twist of drama you won’t find anywhere else.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“We had so much fun dressing up for Mystery in Minneapolis. The clue drop, the backstory, our 80s team name — it was all so well done. And the twist at the end? INSANE. We’re already planning outfits and theories for Part 2!”
"The clues, the drama, the shade?! We were whispering, accusing, and painting the whole time. Voices in the Dark was pure chaos — in the best possible way.”
“We had a blast dressing up and stepping into the story. The Velvet Vesper felt like a living jazz painting — we talked slick, played our parts, and left with memories (and art) we’ll never forget. I never thought I’d be painting and solving a murder at the same time — it was actually really cool.”
"Truly one-of-a-kind. My team had an absolute blast at the Pass the Paint Party — the creativity, the laughter, the surprise of seeing how our shared artwork turned out. People are still talking about it, and they’re already asking when we can do it again"
