SmashArt

This venue pairs a break room with glow painting. In the Break Room, up to four people at a time use a crate of assorted items each, or one large item, plus a chalk bomb to smash. A separate bring-your-own-breakables option lets guests supply approved items and leave cleanup to staff. Glow painting rooms supply paint bombs, water guns, brushes and stencils with a canvas per person. Appointments are made at least 24 hours ahead online, and a confirmation should be received before arriving.

A creative space describing itself as the city's first rage room, glow painting studio, event venue and art gallery. It hosts monthly Franklinton Friday gallery events, open mic nights and classes.
