Her musical knowledge and integrity make her inarguably one of Australia’s biggest house luminaries, Melbourne native Janette Pitruzzello aka DJ JNETT has been spinning records and creating heat in Melbourne’s music industry since the early ’90s. Her magnetic energy and impeccable DJing skills have held her in hot demand throughout her career, which now spans over two decades.

A painting party at Muse Paintbar, where you learn to paint in a social atmosphere that happens to serve snacks and beverages, including alcohol.Start your weekend with a visit to NGV Friday Nights and the groundbreaking exhibition, Alexander McQueen: Mind, Mythos, Muse. Muse Paintbar has 11 locations just in New England, with more beyond, and we were grateful to be invited to their location at Patriot Place in Foxboro, Massachusetts for this review. You pay an inexpensive fee and join a class with a twist of party experience. You learn to paint with acrylics, onto either a 16″ x 20″ canvas, wine glasses, or mason jars. At the end of the class, if you like your work you can take it home with you. Admission includes a drink but of course they hope that you’ll buy more. At Patriot Place, you’ll find red wine, white wine, beer, and snacks including a hummus platter, chips and dip, baby carrots and dip, pretzels, chicken fingers, pizza, meatballs, and ice cream. I’d just been to review PopUp Painting in London, a similar event, and am glad to say that we enjoyed Muse Paintbar more, because it was better organized and led, hosted in a space wholly dedicated to painting classes. (There is no regular bar seating.) Classes take place 7 days a week, giving you an option for a slow Monday, and allowing you to pick from their website which work you are most interested to paint. Our night, a Monday, drew more than 30 people, which only filled half of the place. When you arrive you’re given a smock and a seat at a work table with a blank canvas and palette of colors. The class alternates between instruction from a single teacher, and recent pop music as you try to paint. The class is well organized and our instructor, who thankfully had a microphone, was easily heard, painting each step along with the class, unlike our recent experience making pottery in Brookline where the instructor dumped 10 steps on us before we touched the clay.
