Our most popular projects range from $50-$70 and our youth projects range from $40-$45. View our workshop schedule for specific pricing.

We provide all of the materials, tools, and instruction. Choose your project type (wood or canvas) and your design from our Project Portfolio. Customize your project at the workshop with our designer paints and our line of non-toxic wood stains (no fumes!).

Check out our calendar for available public workshops, or contact us to book a private event! The workshop is available 7 days a week for private parties, with exception of scheduled classes as shown on our calendar.

You are welcome to bring your favorite beverages, light bites or appetizers to enjoy during your workshop session!

Most workshops last between 2-3 hours, depending on the project. Youth parties include a 2 hour workshop time-slot. View our How It Works page for more information! If reserving a table or a private party, we will email you a link for your event that you can send out to your guests to register.

Once you reserve your private workshop date and time, you will receive a customized party link for the hostess to send out to the guests via email with instructions on registering.

About AR Workshop Fort Myers

AR Workshop Fort Myers is owned by Lisa Smith. This born and raised “Jersey Girl” traded in her snow boots for flip flops and now calls sunny South West Florida her home. From an early age, Lisa has had a knack for all things DIY! After stumbling upon AR Workshop back home in Westfield, NJ, she worked her way up the ranks and soon began managing a second NJ location. From the moment she walked through the doors, she knew that AR was where she belonged.

Thanks to the support from her boss and mentor, Joanna, Lisa was able to turn her hard work and dreams into reality and open her very own ARW store! Lisa’s unique combination of artistic knowledge and talent coupled with her 15+ years in customer service is sure to bring the ultimate DIY experience to SWFL for people of all ages.

AR Workshop is located in the heart of Fort Myers at Gulf Coast Town Center (in the courtyard), serving the Greater Fort Myers and surrounding area. Lisa cannot wait to bust open the doors and share her love of DIY with the Lee County community...Yay!!
