About

Paintphoria is Buffalo’s first “paint-throwing studio” that allows people to make a mess and relieve stress. Paintphoria is a great way for friends and family of all ages and abilities to experience the joy of creating! We provide a variety of materials and a safe space where customers can express themselves artistically.

Mission: Our goal is to provide each customer with a new way of coping with day-to-day stress and anxiety in a healthy way. We hope to eliminate the common misconception that only “talented artists” should paint and create art. At Paintphoria, we believe that the process of creating is more important than the final product.
