Welcome to ELARTē

Where Art, Community and Consciousness Meet

ELARTē is a membership-based private art club in New York City, dedicated to merging artistic expression with holistic wellness practices. Our mission is to provide a sanctuary where individuals, regardless of their artistic background, can explore creativity, engage in transformative experiences, and foster personal growth.

No Experience Needed – Just Come, Create, and Relax.

ELARTē is New York City’s first private art club designed for everyone, whether you have been painting for years or have never touched a brush. You don’t need any prior art experience—just a desire to relax, explore, and enjoy a creative journey at your own pace.

We envision a vibrant community where art serves as a catalyst for self-discovery and healing. By integrating various art forms with spiritual and wellness practices, we aim to create a unique environment that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit. Our goal is to redefine the traditional art space, making it inclusive and accessible to all who seek creative and personal enrichment.

Our Vision

At ELARTē, we offer a diverse range of events and workshops designed to inspire and elevate our members' creative pursuits. Our offerings include:

- Artistic Technique Workshops: Led by expert mentors, these sessions delve into various mediums and styles, helping members refine their skills and discover new artistic avenues.

- Spiritual and Transformative Experiences: We host events that blend art with spiritual practices, such as sound baths, meditation sessions, and Kundalini activation. These immersive experiences are crafted to promote inner peace, self-awareness, and personal transformation. For instance, our guided meditation workshops incorporate gong soundscapes, creating a profound journey into higher consciousness.

- Community Gatherings: Regular social events provide opportunities for members to connect, collaborate, and share their creative journeys in a supportive environment.

By combining traditional art education with holistic wellness practices, ELARTē offers a distinctive experience that caters to the creative and spiritual needs of our community. Our approach is unparalleled, setting us apart from conventional art studios and wellness centers.
