Welcome to Venue 966, home of 7 Shades of Hue, where art meets community and creativity becomes a movement. Our mission is simple but powerful: make art accessible, affordable, and impactful for everyone.

We’re more than just an art studio, we’re a creative hub built by artists, for the culture. From kids picking up a spray can for the first time to adults rediscovering their creativity, our classes and workshops are designed to inspire, educate, and empower.

At the heart of everything we do is our commitment to the South Ward of Newark. A portion of every class, workshop, and event goes toward funding public murals, local artist commissions, and the South Ward Mural Festival — bringing color, stories, and pride to our streets.

Whether you're here to paint, play, learn, or vibe — you're now part of something bigger.

Let’s create. Let’s uplift. Let’s make history together at Venue 966.
