Story of Art Escape

Founded by Auckland-based abstract artist Amrit Kaur, Art Escape NZ is NZ's first messy art studio, offering a space where creativity is all about freedom, fun, and self-expression. Designed for those who want to play with paint without the pressure of following rules or painting a specific picture, Art Escape’s beginner-friendly workshops encourage presence, relaxation, and creative exploration. Aucklanders love these experiences as they provide an escape from comparison and expectation—allowing participants to immerse themselves in the process and take home a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

​

Amrit’s own art practice is inspired by the slow moments in life, drawing from nature and human connection to capture the beauty in what is often overlooked. Painting is her passion, and Art Escape NZ is an extension of that—an opportunity to share the joy of creativity with others while building a creative career free from the pressure of selling artwork.
