The Experience in Detail

Starting Point: Wild Art Bali in Canggu

Your neon adventure begins at Wild Art Bali, located on Jl. Munduk Catu in Canggu. The space is designed to be as quirky as the activity itself, with a dedicated UV room that instantly sets the theme for wild, glow-in-the-dark fun. The location is easy to find, and you’ll be greeted by friendly staff ready to gear you up with all necessary protective equipment—smocks, gloves, goggles, and boots—so you can get as messy as you like without worrying about stains.

What to Expect: A Mix of Art and Playfulness

The core of the experience is a one-hour session where you choose between creating a canvas or decorating a textile item, such as a T-shirt, tote bag, cap, or even baby clothes. The emphasis is on free expression, with the guide explaining how to use various tools and effects, but beyond that, it’s all about what you want to do.

The room is equipped with UV lighting, which means your glowing artwork will pop under the black lights, making each piece look like something out of a neon wonderland. The paints are fluorescent, and the toolkit includes brushes, sponges, rollers, and most excitingly, water guns, balloons, and darts for throwing paint—no boring brushes here.

Unleashing Your Creativity and Chaos

Participants typically start with a bit of guidance but quickly realize that there are no rules—splash, spin, throw, burst, and test effects freely. It’s clear from reviews that this is where the real fun begins. One traveler mentioned, “It’s lustig und macht Spaß! Mal etwas anderes,” capturing the playful, different-from-anything-else vibe.

The tools allow for a variety of effects that wouldn’t be possible in a traditional art class. Water pistols spray neon splashes across the canvas, balloons burst with vibrant paint, and darts add splatters in unpredictable places. Think of it as a controlled chaos, where the goal isn’t perfect technique but creating a truly one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

The Final Product: Unique and Photogenic

At the end of the hour, you’ll have a bold, abstract artwork that’s totally unique—perfect for Instagram or a memorable keepsake. The UV glow makes photos especially striking, and you’ll find that your vibrant creation looks even more dramatic under the black lights.

Several reviewers appreciated the value of their souvenirs; one took home a painted tote bag, while another opted for a T-shirt, both of which serve as lively reminders of their Bali trip. Because everything is included—paints, tools, protective gear—the pricing is quite reasonable for the fun and creative output.

Additional Options: Glow Fight

For those wanting to turn up the fun a notch, the on-site Glow Fight is available for an extra 75K. It’s essentially a neon paint battle with water guns inside the UV room, perfect for even more laughs and splashes. Reviewers say this option is a highlight, especially for groups wanting a high-energy, comical showdown.

What We Loved About This Experience

The use of unconventional tools like water guns and balloons keeps the session playful and unpredictable, unlike traditional art classes. This approach fosters spontaneous creativity and lots of laughter.

All equipment and protective gear are provided, which means you just need to show up ready for fun. The small group size (limited to 10 people) ensures that everyone gets enough space and attention, making it perfect for personalized chaos or group bonding.

The variety of souvenir options—canvas or textiles—means you can leave with a tangible token of your Bali adventure that’s truly your own. Plus, the glowing artwork looks stunning in photos, making it very Instagram-worthy.

Considerations and Tips

While most reviews are positive, one traveler from France expressed a desire for more guidance upfront, saying, “It would have been nice to see some examples and techniques before starting.” If you’re someone who prefers a more structured art experience, this might feel a bit chaotic, but that’s part of the charm.

It’s also worth noting that protective gear isn’t 100% waterproof, and the experience can be quite messy. Wearing old clothes or outfits you’re okay with staining is advisable. No valuables should be brought along, just in case.

The activity is not suitable for babies under 1 year, and the session lasts about an hour, making it a manageable, fun-filled activity for most.
