Muse Paintbar opens two new locations

Somerville, MA Muse Paintbar opened two new Massachusetts locations: 461 Artisan Way at Assembly Row in Somerville, and 1130 Market St. at MarketStreet Lynnfield in Lynnfield. With these new locations, each spanning 2,500 s/f, the locally-grown brand has a portfolio of four different Massachusetts locations and a total of 14 locations on the east coast, spanning from Maine to New York. 

Muse Paintbar’s popularity can be attributed to its experience: the ability for beginner and advanced painters alike to tap into their creativity in a relaxed social setting. Guests create a painting with detailed guidance and encouragement from a local artist; as they paint, they can enjoy beer and wine as well as small bites. Muse is managed by president and co-founder, Stan Finch, a graduate of Harvard Business School and Vanessa Leigh, co-founder and lead artist.

“We are experiencing an exciting growth year. Opening at Assembly Row and MarketStreet Lynnfield signifies a smart and thoughtful expansion to areas just north of Boston that will appreciate Muse’s unique combination of entertainment and art,” said Finch.
