Siya Sangweni, a representative of the restaurant, shared insights into the inspiration behind the event, “We often have events here, and most of our events are rooted in art. That is because we are in an art district, and we want to feed off of our surroundings and our environment. We thought of painting as something that can incorporate and be a fun activity to bring families together. “
