Join us for a creative and immersive experience where art, music, and French come together! In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll create your own Van Gogh–inspired painting while learning and practicing French vocabulary in a relaxed, social setting.

We’ll start by introducing the key French words and expressions you’ll need for the session, then guide you step by step through the painting process. Enjoy a curated selection of French music, sip on your favorite drink, and let your creativity flow—no prior art experience required!

What to bring:
• Your favorite drink (BYOB)
• Comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting a little paint on
• A great attitude and a smile

What we provide:
• All art supplies
• Water and light snacks
• Expert guidance throughout the workshop
• A fun, welcoming atmosphere

Whether you’re here for the art, the French, or just a great time, this workshop is the perfect way to unwind, learn, and create. At the end of the workshop, you’ll have your very own masterpiece to bring home!

Participants must be at least 21 years old.

Great group and L'Alliance NY representative. I now feel like I can navigate through France and communicate most of what I need to say and hear. I could not recommend this program more!

The opportunity to converse about interesting topics. I wouldn’t change anything.

Soha is the best! I love our group of students and she really knows how to teach grammar and makes it fun… I can visibly see our class improve each session.

Everything. Above all, the teacher, the skill level of student participants, the dialogue and the instructional expertise. I wouldn’t change anything.

I enjoy the focus on getting the students actually speaking in class. Other materials are presented in the homework, so it doesn’t take away from the time in class where more active participation occurs. I wouldn’t change anything.

How easy it is for conversational interchange among all the students. The group is small enough and not intimidating, so that everyone gets his or her chance to talk.

I liked the interaction with my peers, the skits we have to prepare in class, the readings we have to do out loud, the compositions we have do at home, and the teacher’s sense of humor.

What I liked most about the class is that it’s very inclusive, so nobody feels left out… Estele makes it fun and interactive.

The emphasis on speaking helped with my confidence.

The kinship with the other students.
