At Paint like a Ross, we want to encourage everyone to bring out the inner artist. Even those that say 'I am not an artist' have a chance to give it a try in our shop.
​
Check out our local artist! We want to help our fellow artist in the Quad Cities and surrounding areas. We will only show Art in our Gallery from artists that are either from the Quad Cities or currently living here. It's not that we don't encourage art from elsewhere, we just want to promote our local artists first since we have so many amazing artists here in the cities.

We offer many services! With art workshops to learn certain techniques, events that are both public or private and many do it yourself art opportunities.
