He said putting Muse right by the Long Island Rail Road station will allow Muse to attract customers from outside of Great Neck as well. “We did some very basic market tests and found there was very high demand in the area for this kind of concept – combining artistic expression with social good times,” he said. He said Great Neck residents showed the most interest. He said he knew he wanted to expand to Long Island, and that Great Neck was the best option.įinch’s company began a Facebook marketing campaign in various areas across Long Island trying to see which areas had residents that would want a Muse Paintbar. Muse expanded into the tri-state area last year with the opening of their Norwalk, Conn. For private parties, customers can pick whatever painting they want to do. The paintbar also offers different sessions from time to time, such as couples’ night and family day. “You’re signing up for that particular painting, but you can paint whatever you want,” Finch said. Customers can reserve spots during these sessions, which are typically around $35. Muse has a schedule of what paintings people will be re-creating on what night on its website. Customers can paint whatever they want to paint, but most of the time they will try to recreate an existing photo or painting. While doing that people are getting food and drinks and hanging out.”Ĭustomers can sign up for either public or private sessions, which can run from two to two and a half hours, Finch said. “We have instructors who walk you through how to do a painting, like “The Starry Night,” or a variety of local images or any of the other 500 paintings we have. “You come in with a group of friends or a date or with a company function or a birthday party,” Finch said. Muse said he started the business in Manchester, N.H about three years ago, and Great Neck would be the company’s sixth location. Muse Paintbar, a wine and beer bar where customers can also paint re-creations of works of art under the supervision of an instructor, is set to open at 34 Middle Neck Road in the next two to three weeks, said Stan Finch, president and co-founder of Muse Paintbar. Great Neck residents looking for something to do besides go out to eat or go dancing on a Friday night will soon have another option – or rather two options rolled into one.
