Manhattan’s Art Workshop Paints in SoHo

SoHo brushed last night with Manhattan’s Art Workshop, coloring NYC’s spring at a Spring Street loft. Painter Tariq Evans taught oils as 40 stroked, a $20 class for canvas kids. It’s borough hues—pure SoHo vibe, brushes hot. A kid smeared red; a pro framed a scene. ‘Manhattan arts—this is it,’ Evans says, mixing paints. The room turned studio.

The shop’s fresh—April 5’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing easels by 6 p.m. Evans, a LES brush; last night’s crowd hit max—paint flew. A latecomer nabbed a brush; turpentine wafted—NYC grit glowed. Works hit the wall—art ruled. #SoHoArtShop trended; Brooklyn wants a palette.

Some griped—’Too messy,’ sniped a newbie, dodging splats. Space squeezed—latecomers stood; craft held. A brush snapped—fixed quick; work rolled. Queens wants a turn, but SoHo owns it—strokes rule. The loft’s never painted so bold.

Evans hints at a show, maybe a park if spring bites. ‘NYC’s canvas—this fills it,’ he says, packing tubes. The shop’s a Manhattan win—grit meets hue. It’s an art rush; join the next. Bring a smock—colors call.
