BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
Creative Fun at Elements Art Studio “A paint studio in downtown Hilliard? Where?” The corner of Main and Franklin. We’ve had this conversation time and again. “One of those places where you can have a drink while you paint? I’ve always wanted to try that.” Elements Art Studio is a familyowned paint studio at the southeast corner of Main and Franklin. We offer step-by-step painting instruction to kids and adults. Kids Classes are held most Mondays and Kids Camps are available during Winter, Spring and Summer breaks. Adult Corks & Canvas (BYOB) classes are held most Wednesdays. Everything you need for painting is provided to you in our studio. What makes Elements Art Studio different from other studios is our Private Parties. Being able to
bring in your own food and drinks as simple as cakes or cookies for a Birthday Party or Scout Troop, Or cocktails and appetizers for a Bachelorette or Girls Night Out, Or catered food for a small Office Party makes the paint experience that much more Elements Art Studio is located at the corner fun. of Main and Franklin streets.
