Muse Paintbar operates 27 paint bar locations along the U.S. East Coast from Maine to Virginia, where local artists lead two- to three-hour guided painting events and guests take their artwork home. The company offers a full selection of wine, beer and tapas, thousands of painting choices, and a variety of event types including Couples’ Night, Family Day, Paint Your Pet, and private events such as birthdays and bachelorette parties. Muse positions itself as the largest company-owned player in the paint-and-sip space and plans to continue opening new units within its existing footprint and in expansion regions. Management said the company will invest in new product offerings like different art mediums and custom art capabilities to expand its customer options. The business emphasized growth and product investment as priorities tied to its recent financing. Lazard Middle Market served as Muse’s exclusive financial advisor on the transaction.
