Ocean Lovers Festival 2026 | PAINT & SPLASH - Ocean Vibes from the Skies

OCEAN LOVERS FESTIVAL | Paint & Splash - Ocean Vibes from the Skies

Prepare for an evening where creativity meets coastline! In this 2-hour paint-and-sip workshop led by local artist Han Art, guests will recreate one of Jay’s iconic DroneSharkApp aerial ocean photographs — those breathtaking shots where turquoise waves, surfers, and marine life collide in perfect harmony. With a drink in hand and a brush in the other, you’ll bring the sweeping beauty of the sea to life on canvas.

We’re joined by two ocean-loving special guests: Jay from @DroneSharkApp, the visionary capturing Sydney’s most jaw-dropping aerial marine moments, and Ange from @AngieSwims, whose ocean adventures bring a human heartbeat to the deep blue. Together, they’ll share stories from above and below the surface, from spotting marine wildlife to embracing the joy of wild swimming.

Sip, paint, laugh, and get swept up in the energy of the ocean as Han guides you step-by-step to create a vibrant artwork worthy of the coastline that inspired it.

WHEN: 6:30 pm - 9 pm Wednesday 4th March, 2026 (doors open at 6:30pm for a 7pm start)

A range of canapés will be provided on the night. If you have any specific dietary requirements, please contact Hotel Ravesis directly by emailing events@hotelravesis.com

WHERE: Hotel Ravesis

Guests will be welcomed with a refreshing glass of wine by fellow lovers of the ocean, The Hidden Sea. An amazing wine sharing our vision and mission, it’s making a real impact. For every bottle sold, The Hidden Sea removes the equivalent of 10 plastic bottles from the ocean, helping create a cleaner, healthier future.

Spots are limited, so be sure to book early to secure your place in this inspiring celebration of art, marine life, and ocean health.

We can’t wait to SEA you there!
